Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure determination of Cu(II) coordination compounds with 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bithiazole

摘要

[{CuCl(dm4bt)}₂ μ-Cl)₂] (1) (dm4bt = 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bithiazole) was prepared from the reaction of CuCl₂ · 2H₂O with 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bithiazole in methanol; [Cu(dm4bt)₂NO₃](NO₃) (2) was prepared from the reaction of Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3H₂O with 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bithiazole in methanol. Both complexes were characterized by IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and single-crystal structure. The structure of 1 consists of centrosymmetric dimeric [{CuCl(dm4bt)}(μ-Cl)], in which two chloro ligands bridge the coppers forming a four-membered ring; a terminal chloride and a bidentate chelating bithiazole complete five coordination at each Cu(II) in a highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The mononuclear structure 2 consists of a Cu(II), two 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bithiazoles, one monodentate nitrate and one uncoordinated nitrate in a highly distorted square pyramid.View full textDownload full textKeywordsCopper, 2,2′-Dimethyl-4,4′-bithiazole, Crystal structure, Jahn-Teller distortionRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00958970902948138
