Influence of Cl/Br substitution on the stereochemical peculiarities of copper(I) pi-complexes with the 1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium cation.
By using alternating-current electrochemical synthesis, crystals of the CuI π-complexes bis(1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium) di-μ-chloro-bis[chlorocopper(I)], (C8H11N2)2[Cu2Cl4] or [H2NC5H4NC3H5][CuCl2], and bis(1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium) di-μ-(chloro/bromo)-bis[(chloro/bromo)copper(I)], (C8H11N2)2[Cu2Br2.2Cl1.8] or [H2NC5H4NC3H5][CuBr1.10Cl0.90], have been obtained and structurally investigated. In each of the isostructural (isomorphous) compounds, the distorted tetrahedral Cu environment involves three halide atoms and the C=C bond of the ligand. Both compounds reside on inversion centres, and the dimeric [Cu2 X 4·2H2NC5H4NC3H5] units are bonded into a three-dimensional structure by N—H...X hyd…

The first copper(I)-olefin complexes bearing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole core: Alternating-current electrochemical crystallization, X-ray experiment and DFT study
By means of alternating-current electrochemical technique, four new π-complexes, namely [Cu2(C11H10N2OS)2Br1.91Cl0.09] (1), [Cu(C11H10N2OS)NO3] (2), [Cu2(C11H10N2OS)2(H2O)2](BF4)2 (3) and [Cu2(C11H10N2OS)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (4), were obtained using copper(II) salts and the 2-(allylthio)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (C11H10N2OS) ligand. The metal and halogen centers in 1 form Cu2X2 dimers; the N-atom from the oxadiazole ring and the Cdouble bond; length as m-dashC bond of the allyl group from the same ligand complete the copper coordination environment, giving [Cu(C11H10N2OS)X]2 isolated fragments. The ligand plays the same chelating role in 2, whereas the O (NO3) atom occupies the third position i…
Bis(2-methylbenzimidazole-κN1)copper(I) dichlorocuprate(I)
By using alternating-current electrochemical synthesis, crystals of the copper(I) ionic compound composed of [Cu(C8H8N2)2]+ and [CuCl2]− ions have been obtained and structurally investigated. Both crystallographically independent Cu atoms lie on centres of inversion and exhibit the less-common coordination number 2. A linear arrangement of the metal atoms includes two N atoms of the different organic moieties in the [Cu(2-methylbenzimidazole)2]+ cation and two Cl atoms in the case of the inorganic anion.
catena-Poly[bis[(eta2-1-allyl-3-aminopyridinium)copper(I)]-di-mu-chloro-copper(I)-di-mu-chloro-copper(I)-di-mu-chloro].
Crystals of the title pi-complex, [Cu4Cl6(C8H11N2)2]n, were obtained by means of alternating-current electrochemical synthesis. The structure consists of infinite copper-chlorine chains to which 1-allyl-3-aminopyridinium moieties are attached via a eta2 Cu-(C=C) interaction. The two independent Cu atoms have distinct coordination environments. One is three-coordinate, surrounded by two chloro ligands and the olefinic bond, whereas the second copper center is surrounded by a tetrahedral arrangement of four Cl atoms. The lower basicity of 3-aminopyridine as compared with 2- and 4-aminopyridine lowers the capacity of the organic ligand for donating to N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds and results in the…
