POLYMERIC [(CYCLO(BIS-MU(3)(ETA(2)-S,ETA(1)-N)-(1,3-THIAZOLIDINE-2-THIONATO)BIS-MU(4 )(ETA(3)-S,ETA(1)-N)-(1,3-THIAZOLIDINE-2-THIONATO) TETRACOPPER(I))MONOTOLUENE SOLVATE] - ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERISATION AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AT 160 K

摘要

The preparation of the title compound, [{Cu(tzdt)}(4)] as the monotoluene solvate, has been achieved electrochemically, in toluene, with a copper anode, a platinum cathode and the parent ligand, 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione, (tzdtH), with tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate as supporting electrolyte. The colourless, diamagnetic complex crystallises in a triclinic cell with a = 11.51(2), b = 11.80(2), c = 12.59(2) A, alpha = 116.03(6), beta = 100.42, gamma = 107.67(6)degrees, Z = 2, space group P (
