Abstract
The CuCl binuclear complexes were synthesized with phenyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carbodithioate (L-1) and phenyl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carbodithioate (L-2) ligands. The complexes were isolated as crystalline material in a reasonable quantity. The complexes were crystallized in acetonitrile (MeCN) and characterized for their single crystal, using X-ray diffraction. The two units with the general formula LCuCl are bridged together via chlorido ligands, affording (LCuCl)(2-)type complexes. The complexes, [Cu-2(mu-Cl)(2)(L-1)(2)] 1 and [Cu-2(mu-Cl)(2)(L-2)(2)] 2 are monoclinic and triclinic with space group P2(1)/n and Pi, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by C1(p)MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISC(p) and SMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISC(p) interactions extended in 2D fashion in complex 1, while complex 2 is stabilized by C(p)MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISS interactions extended in a 1D fashion. Structural features and secondary interactions present in both complexes discussed in this article.
