The title complexes (I)‐(III) are prepared by treating hydrated Cu(II) and Cd(II) chloride in aqueous HCl or Cd perchlorate in acetate‐buffered acetic acid with 6‐mercaptopurine monohydrate (no yields given).
Single crystals of the title complex, tris(1, 6-dihydro-9H-purine-6-thione-N(7),S)iron(II) tetrachloroferrate(III) chloride, [Fe(C(5)H(4)N(4)S)(3)][FeCl(4)]Cl, were grown on the surface of solid 6-mercaptopurine monohydrate pellets in a solution of iron(III) chloride. The solution of the hexagonal structure required the application of twin refinement techniques. All the component ions lie on threefold rotation axes. The complex contains distorted octahedral [Fe(C(5)H(4)N(4)S)(3)](2+) cations with three N7/S6-chelating neutral 6-mercaptopurine ligands, tetrahedral [FeCl(4)](-) anions with a mean Fe-Cl distance of 2.189 (1) A, and free chloride ions.

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.
