Eight triphenylphosphanecopper(I) complexes with bibenzimidazole, tetramethylbiimidazole or tetrahydrobiimidazole were prepared and characterized so far as possible by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR and 31P-NMR spectra. The crystal structures of two complexes with bibenzimidazole were determined. [Cu(bbimH2)(PPh3)2]Cl · CH2Cl2: Reaction of CuCl with bibenzimidazole in fused triphenylphosphane or [CuCl(PPh3)3] with bibenzimidazole in CH2Cl2. Space group P1, Z = 2, 6440 observed independent reflections, R = 0.064 for refletions with I > 2σ(I). Lattice parameters at 203 K: a = 983.6; b = 1348.9; c = 1805.5 pm; α =77.24; β = 80.90; γ = 85.81°. The crystal structure is built up by monomeric molecules with distorted tetrahedral coordination of the copper atom (CuN2P2) and bibenzimidazole as bidentate ligand. The chloride ion is linked by H-bonds with the NH groups of the bibenzimidazole. [{Cu(PPh3)2}2(μ-bbim)] · 2 CH2Cl2: Reaction of [CuCl(PPh3)3] with the dipotassium salt of bibenzimidazole in CH3OH/CH2Cl2. Space group P1, Z = 1, 7192 observed independent reflections, R = 0.057 for reflections with I > 2σ(I). Lattice parameters at 203 K: a = 1334.1; b = 1386.8; c = 1443.7 pm; α = 107.51; β = 103.35; γ = 113.74°. The crystal structure is built up by centrosymmetric molecules with distorted tetrahedral coordination of the copper atoms (CuN2P2) and bibenzimidazolate(2-) as tetradentate bridging ligand.
