RT Journal Article T1 Copper(I)-Olefin Complexes:The Effect of the Trispyrazolylborate Ancillary Ligand in Structure and Reactivity A1 Martín Gandul, Carmen A1 Muñoz Molina, José María A1 Álvarez, Eleuterio A1 Locati, Abel A1 Maseras, Feliu A1 Rodríguez Belderraín, Tomás A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José AB The spectroscopic and structural characteristics and the relative reactivity of several TpMsCu(olefin) (olefin = ethylene, 1, 1-hexene, 2, allyl ethyl ether, aee, 3, cyclohexene, 4, and styrene, 5) complexes bearing the bulky hydrotris(3-mesitylpyrazolyl)borate ligand have been examined. Experimental data, including an unusual high-field chemical shift in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra, and DFT theoretical calculations support the proposal that the copper−olefin linkage is mainly sustained by σ-donation, lacking a substantial degree of π-back-donation PB American Chemical Society SN 0276-7333 SN 1520-6041 (electrónico) YR 2010 FD 2010 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10272/22792 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10272/22792 LA eng NO Martín, C., Muñoz-Molina, J.
