Dependent Claim
43 words
Neutral copper complexes characterized in that they have the formula wherein Y represents dimethylsulphoxide or dimethylformamide, and wherein X can be located in any position and is OH, SH, SeH, NH 2 or provided that, when X is OH, Y is not dimethylformamide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Complexes according to claim 1 characterized in that they have the formula wherein Y and X are as defined in claim 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
Complexes according to claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that X is OH and Y is dimethylsulphoxide.
