Synthesis and Characterisation of the First Oxazoline Coordination Compounds Containing the Cu(F6acac)2 Unit: X-ray Diffraction Studies of Cu(kappa2-O,O'-F6acac)2(kappa1-N-Meox) and Cu(kappa2-O,O'-F6acac)2(kappa1-N-Etox)

The synthesis and characterisation (elemental analysis, IR, X-ray diffraction) of the first two oxazoline coordination compounds of Cu(F 6 acac) 2 are described. Both of these complexes are five-coordinate mononuclear formally Cu(II) materials with a slightly distorted square pyramidal coordination motif around the metal centre. The structures are compared and contrasted to other N-donor complexes of Cu(F 6 acac) 2 .
