Influence of the Li (super)+ on the structure of the [Cu (sub)3 (phis) (sub)3] (super)3+ cation

Research has been conducted on [Cu (sub)3 (phis) (sub)3] (super)3+ cation structure. The authors report that the reaction of [Cu (sub)3 (phis) (sub)3](ClO (sub)4) (sub)3 with LiClO (sub)4 leads to rearrangement of the tricopper cationic structure in order to accomodate a Li (super)+ ion and to form [(ClO (sub)4)Li{Cu (sub)3 (phis) (sub)3}]-(ClO (sub)4) (sub)3.
