Crystal-Structures of a Family of New Copper(I) Cyanide Complexes of Thiourea and Substituted Thioureas
The syntheses and crystal structures of the first cyanide, sulfur mixed ligand copper(I) complexes are reported. The first complex of the family was discovered when (CuCN)(3)(C6H12N4)(2) (1) (C6H12N4 = hexamethylenetetramine) was treated with aqueous thiourea. The sulfur ligands include thourea (tu), 1,3-dimethyl-2-thiourea (dmtu), 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea (detu), 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-thiourea (tmtu), and 2-imidazolidinethione (N,N’-ethylenthiourea, etu). Synthesis was effected by adding the ligand to a solution of CuCN in aqueous sodium thiosulfate. Complex 2, (CuCN)(2)(tu)(3)(H2O), crystallizes in the triclinic space group <(P)over bar 1> with unit cell dimensions a = 7.696(5) Angstrom, b = 9.346(2) Angstrom, c = 10.772(2) Angstrom, alpha = 106.53(2)degrees, beta = 91.11(4)degrees, gamma = 98.42(3)degrees, and Z = 2. Complex 3, (CuCN)(3)-(dmtu)(2), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with unit cell dimensions a = 10.082(3) Angstrom, b = 14.984(5) Angstrom, c = 11.413(3) Angstrom, beta = 104.50(2)degrees, and Z = 4. Complex 4, (CuCN)(2)(detu)(H2O), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with unit cell dimensions a = 7.969(5) Angstrom, b = 11.559(4) Angstrom, c = 13.736(5) Angstrom, beta = 100.48(4)degrees, and Z = 4. Complex 5, (CuCN)(tmtu) (polymorph a), crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit cell dimensions a = 8.653(1) Angstrom, b = 14.202(4) Angstrom c = 16.03(1) Angstrom, alpha = 101.68(5)degrees, beta = 107.08(6)degrees gamma = 70.07(2)degrees, and Z = 8. The difference between the polymorphs is that 5 has a zig-zag chain with a repeat unit of two while 6 has a 4-fold helix. Complex 7, (CuCN)(2)(etu), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1) with unit cell dimensions a = 3.994(2) Angstrom, b = 13.886(3) Angstrom, c = 7.556(1) Angstrom, beta = 97.07(2)degrees, and Z = 2.
