Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Complexes with bulky hydrotris(triazolyl) borate (Ttz) ligands, TtzCuCO, were used to probe how acids change the donor properties of Ttz ligands. (Ttz(tBu,Me))CuCO shows four distinct protonation states and a gradual increase in the CO stretch. The increased electrophilic nature of the Cu center upon protonation leads to enhanced C-H activation catalysis.
