A novel hexanuclear copper (I) cluster coordination compound has been synthesised by the reaction of N-ethoxy-carbonyl-N'-o-chlorophenylthiourea with cupric chloride in ethanol solution.
The title copper(I) complex, [CuCl(C(11)H(14)N(2)O(3)S)(2)], was synthesized by the redox reaction of cupric chloride with the corresponding thiourea derivative as reducing agent. The Cu(I) coordination environment is trigonal planar, involving two S atoms and one Cl atom. The presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds leads to the formation of a cis conformation and promotes the stability of the complex.
The title compound, C14H10ClN3O4, was obtained by the reaction of N‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐N′‐(4‐nitrobenzoyl)thiourea with cupric chloride dihydrate. Intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak C—H⋯O interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
