The synthesis of (o-(diphenylphosphino)benzoyl)pinacolone (HacacP) is described. The complexes M2(acacP)2 (M = Cu, Ag) were synthesized from the reaction of HacacP, NEt3, and Cu(CH3CN)4ClO4 or AgClO4. Treatment of a CH2Cl2 solution of Cu2(acacP)2 (1) with molecular oxygen gave Cu2(acacP)2(μ-o-O2CC6H 4P(O)Ph2) (2), which can also be prepared by treatment of 1 with Cu(o-Ph2P(O)C6H4CO2)2 and HacacP. After demetalation the organic products of the oxygenation were found to consist of equal amounts of o-Ph2P(O)C6H4CO2H and t-BuCO2H, which were derived from acacP-. The crystal structure and molecular geometry of Cu2(acacP)2(o-O2CC6H 4P(O)Ph2) has been determined by X-ray diffraction: P1, a = 13.592 (4) A?, b = 14.913 (5) A?, c = 18.501 (5) A?, α = 85.78 (3)°, β = 86.19 (2)°, γ = 72.61 (2)°, Z = 2, μ = 7.17 cm-1 (Mo Kα). The crystal structure and molecular geometry of [Cu(acacP(O))(OCH3)]2·2CH3OH have been determined by X-ray diffraction: P21/n, a = 9.750 (2) A?, b = 16.399 (3) A?, c = 16.698 (4) A?, β = 97.25 (2)°, Z = 2, μ = 9.17 cm-1 (Mo Kα).
