%X The X-ray crystal structure determination of bis&#91;-(phenylcyanamido)bis(triphenylphosphine)copper(I)&#93;, &#91;&#123;Cu(PPh3)2(C6H5NCN)&#125;2&#93;, (1) is reported. The complex has a centrosymmetric dimeric structure with the phenylcyanamide ligands bridging the copper atoms in a -1,3-fashion. The structure is compared with that of the 4-methylphenylcyanamido complex, &#91;&#123;Cu(PPh3)2(4-MeC6H4NCN)&#125;2&#93; (2), and the differences observed in the Cu&#8211;P bond lengths compared with changes in the solid state 31P cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS) spectra of the two complexes.
