Abstract

(Ttz(tBu,Me))CuCO [Ttz(tBu,Me) = tris(3-t-butyl-5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolyl)borate] was prepared and fully characterized to test whether the Ttz(tBu,Me) ligand, which is sterically similar to Tp(tBu,Me) is electronically different; Ttz(tBu,Me) is a weaker electron donor and (Ttz(tBu,Me))CuCO is water stable and has a propensity to form hydrogen bonds.
