Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Cuprous chloride was coordinated by diazabutadiene (DAB‐R) ligands to form Cu(I)‐(DAB‐R) complexes, most of which have a 1:1 ratio of Cu to DAB‐R as reported. In the case of a special DAB‐^{<italic>i</italic>}PP, <italic>N</italic>, <italic>N′</italic>‐bis(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1, 4‐diaza‐1, 3‐butadiene, an unexpected composition of complex was found with the formula Cu(I)Cl(DAB)₂. When employed as catalyst for triarylamine synthesis from the coupling of aryl halides with primary and secondary arylamines, the new Cu(I)‐(DAB‐^{<italic>i</italic>}PP) complex displayed high efficiency.</p> </abstract>
