From: Nucleophilicity at copper(-I) in a compound with a Cu–Mg bond

a The synthesis of 2 through the reaction of (6-Dipp)CuOEt with [LMg]2. b Solid-state structure of 2, determined using X-ray crystallography; ADPs displayed at 30% probability; hydrogen atoms omitted for clarity; Diisopropylphenyl substituents displayed as wireframes. c Laplacian (∇2ρ(r)) distribution of the Cu–Mg core of 2, with the Laplacian at the Cu–Mg bond critical point, and atomic charges labeled, computed at the PBE0-D3BJ/def2-TZVPP//TPSS-D3BJ/def2-SVP level. Dipp = 2,6-iPr2-C6H3.
