Abstract
A new copper(II) complex containing
-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (Dach) and azide as ligands, [Cu(Dach)
(N
)]Cl · 3H
O (
), was prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and X-ray crystallography. The structure of
consists of a complex cation, [Cu(Dach)
(N
)]
, a chloride counter-ion and three water molecules. The coordination environment of the copper(II) atom in
is distorted square pyramidal attained by four nitrogen atoms of
-1,2-diaminocyclohexane molecules and an azide ion. Thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric analyses validated the molecular formula of complex
