Abstract:
Trinuclear {μ-[3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Cu}3 reacts with acetylene to produce the 2 : 1 copper(i) acetylene complex, Cu4(μ-[3,5-(CF3)2Pz])4(μ-HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)2. Related Cu4(μ-[4-Br-3,5-(CF3)2Pz])4(μ-HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)2 and Cu4(μ-[4-Cl-3,5-(CF3)2Pz])4(μ-HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)2 have also been isolated using the corresponding copper(i) pyrazolate and acetylene. The 1 : 1 adducts Cu2(μ-[3,5-(CF3)2Pz])2(HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)2 and Cu2(μ-[4-Br-3,5-(CF3)2Pz])2(HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)2 are significantly less stable to the acetylene loss and can be observed in solution at low temperatures under excess acetylene. The X-ray crystal structures of 2 : 1 and 1 : 1 complexes, Cu4(μ-[3,5-(CF3)2Pz])4(μ-HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)2 and Cu2(μ-[4-Br-3,5-(CF3)2Pz])2(HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)2 are reported. Raman data show a reduction in [small nu, Greek, macron]C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C stretching frequency by about ∼340 and ∼163 cm-1 in the 2 : 1 and 1 : 1 Cu(i)/acetylene complexes, respectively, from that of the free acetylene. Copper(i) pyrazolate complexes of the terminal alkynes, phenylacetylene, 1,8-nonadiyne, and 1,7-octadiyne are also reported. They form adducts involving one copper atom on each alkyne moiety. The {μ-[3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Cu}3 is also a very versatile and competent catalyst for alkyne transformations as evident from its ability to catalyze the alkyne C(sp)-H bond carboxylation chemistry with CO2, azide-alkyne cycloadditions leading to 1,2,3-triazoles including the use of acetylene itself as a substrate, and thiol addition to phenylacetylene affording vinyl sulfides.

02:37Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.
