(Sulfasalazinato-κO)bis(triphenylphosphine-κP)copper(I)

(Sulfasalazinato-κO)bis­(triphenyl­phosphine-κP)copper(I)

The title mixed-ligand copper(I) complex, [Cu(C(18)H(13)N(4)O(5)S)(C(18)H(15)P)(2)], was synthesized via solvothermal reaction of [Cu(PPh(3))(2)(MeCN)(2)]ClO(4) and sulfasalazine [systematic name: 2-hydr-oxy-5-(2-{4-[(2-pyridylamino)sulfon-yl]phen-yl}diazen-yl)benzoic acid]. The mononuclear complex displays a trigonal coordination geometry for the Cu(I) atom, which is surrounded by two P-atom d...
