Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Scission precision: The combination of Lewis acidic and Lewis basic building blocks in copper(I) thiolate clusters enables control of the thermal decomposition pathway in the design of new molecular precursors for Cu2S formation. After C-S bond scission, large clusters with cuprous sulfide cores are isolated as intermediates and are structurally characterized (see scheme; hfa = hexafluoroacetylacetonate).
