Abstract The synthesis and the study of the molecular structure of a series of heteroleptic copper(I) compounds with triphenylphosphine and α-diimines presenting a varying degree of bulk at their chelating cite is reported. The most sterically crowded diimine acts as a monodentate ligand towards copper(I) promoting bridging of the halogen atom present in the metal coordination sphere and formation of a dimer. Evidence for this behavior is obtained from the electronic spectra and semiempirical quantum chemical calculations with MOPAC. Steric demands in all the studied compounds preclude coordination of silver(I) under similar reaction conditions.
