The Cu complex of <b>1</b> was insoluble in common solvents, but that of <b>2</b>, Cu<sub>4</sub>(tpbpr)<sub>4</sub> (<b>3</b>), is soluble in dichloromethane and chloroform. <b>3</b> is assigned the cyclic tetrameric structure Cu<sub>4</sub>(tpbpr)<sub>4</sub> based on ESI–MS and microanalytical data. This is similar to the copper(II) β-diketonate molecular squares reported previously from our group. Molecular modeling indicates that Cu<sub>4</sub>(tpbpr)<sub>4</sub> has Cu···Cu distances of ca. 21 Å, as compared to ca. 14 Å in the previous molecular squares.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><p>Crystal structures of two new bis(β-diketones) are reported, which are likely to form large supramolecular structures on reaction with metal ions such as Cu<sup>2+</sup>.</p>\u0000 <div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Crystallography","volume":"53 4","pages":"475 - 482"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43671861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
