Bis{2-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium} tetrabromidocuprate(II) dihydrate
Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C14H13N2S)2[CuBr4]·2H2O, contains two cations, one anion and two solvent water molecules that are connected via O—H...Br, N—H...Br and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional polymeric structure. The cations are arranged in a head-to-tail fashion and form stacks along [100]. The central CuII atom of the anion is in a distorted tetrahedral environment.
