The copper hydride clusters [Cu14 H12 (phen)6(PPh3)4][X]2 (X=Cl or OTf; OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) are obtained in good yields by the reaction of [(Ph3P)CuH]6 with phen, in the presence of a halide or pseudohalide source. The complex [Cu14H12 (phen)6(PPh3)4][Cl]2 reacts with CO2 in CH2Cl2 , in the presence of excess Ph3 P, to form the formate complex [(Ph3P)2Cu(κ(2)-O2CH)], along with [(phen)(Ph3 P)CuCl].
