Abstract

The first exptl. structure detn. of a 1:1 metal complex with a PQQ deriv. (1; 2',7',9'-trimethyl ester of pyroloquinoline quinone) was reported outside the protein environment. [(1)Cu(PPh3)2](BF4) was prepd. from 1, [Cu(CH3CN)4](BF4), and PPh3 in CH2Cl2. 1 Was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, IR, UV-vis., and ESR spectra. Single crystals of [(1)Cu(PPh3)2](BF4)·0.5CH3C(O)OEt were obtained via diffusion of Et acetate into a CH2Cl2 soln. of the complex. [on SciFinder(R)]
