C-H amination chemistry mediated by trinuclear Cu(I) sites supported by a ligand scaffold featuring an arene platform and tetramethylguanidinyl residues.

ABSTRACT: Tripodal ligands that can encapsulate single or multiple metal sites in C₃-symmetric geometric configurations constitute valuable targets for novel catalysts. Of particular interest in ligand development are efforts toward incorporating apical elements that exhibit little if any electron donicity, to enhance the electrophilic nature of a trans positioned active oxidant (e.g., metal-oxo, -nitrene). The tripodal ligand TMG₃trphen-Arene has been synthesized, featuring an arene platform 1,3,5-substituted with phenylene arms possessing tetramethylguanidinyl (TMG) residues. Compound [(TMG₃trphen-Arene)Cu₃(μ-Cl)₃] has been subsequently synthesized by extracting a Cu₃(μ-Cl)₃ cluster from anhydrous CuC
