Copper(I) Chloride π-Complexes with 2,5-Bis(Allylthio)-1,3,4-Thiadiazole: Synthesis and Structural Features

详细

Three new Cu(I) π-complexes with 2,5-bis(allylthio)-1,3,4-thiadizole (Bialtia) ([Cu₃Cl₃(Bialtia)₂] (1), [Cu₃Cl₃(Bialtia)] (2), and [Cu₂Cl₂(Bialtia)] (3)) are obtained by the alternating current electrochemical synthesis and studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A distinctive feature of Bialtia is its ability to coordinate to Cu(I) atoms by nitrogen atoms of the thiadiazole core and two allyl groups. The formation of island inorganic {Cu₃Cl₃} moieties occurs in 1 through π coordination of two independent Bialtia molecules by three metal atoms. Due to the absence of one Bialtia molecule in 2, inorganic {–Cu₃Cl₃–} subunits join into infinite chains {[Cu₃Cl₃(Bialtia)]}_n}. The structure of [Cu₂Cl₂(Bialtia)] (3) contains two Cu(I) atoms with different coordination environments: distorted tetrahedral and trigonal.
