The ligand tris[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl]amine (L), the copper(II) complexes [CuLCL2] 1, [CuLCL][SbF6] 2 and [CuL(H2O)][SbF6]2 3, and the copper(I) complex [CuL][CF3SO3] 4 have been prepared. Complexes 1-3 are reduced by [BPh4]- ion in a range of solvents to afford [CuL]+ ion. The [CuL]+ ion does not react with dioxygen nor carbon monoxide but does reat with chloride ion. Physicochemical and cyclic voltammetry data are reported for 1/4, along with crystal structure analyses of 1-3 and [CuL][CuCl2]. There are some notable differences between the structures and properties of these copper complexes and those reported for analogues with pyridyl- or imidazolyl amine ligands.
