Bis{μ-2,2′-[(3,4-dithiahexane-1,6-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]bis(4-bromophenolato)-κ4O,N,N′,O′}dicopper(II)

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu2(C18H12Br2N4O2S2)2], consists of binuclear complex units which lie across inversion centres and are connected by weak Cu—O coordination bonds forming chains along the b axis. The CuII ion is five-coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms of the chelating ligand and one symmetry-related O atom forming a square-pyramidal coordination geometry. In the crystal, short S...Br contacts connect neighbouring chains into a two-dimensional network parallel to (101).
