Abstract—The interaction between CCl4 and olefins with different structures is studied in the presence of cop-
per complexes with P-, S-, and N-containing donor ligands. Kinetic and spectroscopic studies show that the
ability of olefins to be coordinated to copper complexes governs the rate, the product composition, and the reac-
tion mechanism. Depending on the olefin and the structure of the metal complex, either typical radical-chain
reactions or processes without free radicals are observed.
