STRUCTURE OF 3,10-DIMETHYL-4,9-DIAZA-3,9-DODECADIENE-2,11-DIONE DIOXIMATO(1-)-(ISOTHIOCYANATO)COPPER(II)

摘要

[[abstract]]The Cu(II) ion is five coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with the four N atoms equatorial and an N-bound isothiocyanate axial. It deviates from the best plane formed by the four N atoms towards the isothiocyanate N atom. The axial Cu-N distance is longer than the equatorial Cu-N distances. Comparison of the present work with other similar complexes reveals some steric effects of the monodentate ligand -NCS- on the coordination geometry.
