The facile synthesis, molecular structure, and reactivity of [Cu(C7H7NH2)Cl]4 (1) towards dioxygen and derivatives is reported. The compound could easily be prepared in good yields by mixing CuCl and benzylamine under inert conditions in dichloromethane. Surprisingly this copper(I) compound, a copper(I) tetramer with CuI???CuI interactions of 2.89 ?, was formed instead of an expected cubane clus-ter. Oxidation reactions led to formation of μ-oxido-species as intermediates, however 1 did not show any catalytic activity in the activation of CH bonds. In contrast it turned out that 1 was quite stable towards oxidation. Analogous reactions with CuBr or CuI were different and neither cluster units or polynuclear copper(I) complexes were obtained.

Mixing CuCl2·2 H2O with benzylamine in alcoholic solutions led to an extremely colorful chemistry caused by the formation of a large number of different complexes. Many of these different species could be structurally characterized.
