Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Equimolar Complex of Copper(I) Cyanide with 3,3' - [Ethane-1,2- Diylbis(oxy)] dipropanenitrile

摘要

Complex [Cu(CN)(NC(CH2)2O(CH2)2O(CH2)2CN))] is obtained by the heating of copper(I) cyanide with 3,3'- [ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxy)] dipropanenitrile (DPN) followed by slow cooling. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 12.183(2), b = 10.667(2), c = 8.4700(13) A, β = 92.444(10)°, V= 1099.7(3) A~3, Z= 4. The structure is built of infinite zigzag fragments [Cu(CN)(DPN)]_n. The tetrahedral environment of the copper atom includes two cyano groups of the ligand and two cyano groups of the inorganic fragment.
