Abstract

A systematic investigation of the alcoholysis of copper(ii) pivalate (piv^-) solutions has led to a series of Cu₂, Cu ₆, and Cu₁₆ products, depending on the alcohol used as solvent. When PrⁿOH or BuⁿOH was employed, the products were the clusters [Cu₁₆O₄(OH)₄(OR) ₈(piv)₁₂(ROH)] (R = Prⁿ, Buⁿ) that are almost isostructural. The Cu₁₆ clusters are antiferromagnetically-coupled with an S = 0 spin ground state.
