Crystal structure and spectroscopic properties of a one-dimensional copper(I) coordination polymer: #mu#-ethylene bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) copper(I) perchlorate. [Cu(EDTC)_2]ClO_4[EDTC=etylene bis(diethyldithiocarbamate)]

摘要

The synthesis and X-ray structure of the one-dimensional polymeric ethylene bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) copper(I) perchlorate complex formulated as [Cu(EDTC)_2]_n centre dot (ClO_4)_n were reported. The copper ion is tetrahedrally coordinated by four sulfur atoms from four different ligand molecules. Each of the ethylene bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) ligands bridges two copper(I) ions. The shortest Cu-Cu distance is 8.361(3) A. This bidentate, non-chelating coordination leads to a one-dimensional chain. The structure of the title compound in solution was also studied by electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS). This study demonstrates that a one-dimensional chain polymer could be retained in solution as the same structure as in solid.
