Bis{2-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium} tetrabromidocuprate(II) dihydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C14H13N2S)2[CuBr4]·2H2O, contains two cations, one anion and two solvent water molecules that are connected via O—H...Br, N—H...Br and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional polymeric structure. The cations are arranged in a head-to-tail fashion and form stacks along [100]. The central CuII atom of the anion is in a distorted tetrahedral environment

“…(2011). E67, m847 Organic-inorganic hybrid materials offer an important opportunity to combine useful properties of inorganic and organic systems within a single molecular-scale composite (Manjunatha et al, 2011). As a member of this family, there continues to be interest in the study on the design and synthesis of novel metal halides due to their potential applications in the fields of optics and electrical conductivity, as well as their structural diversity (Jin et al, 2011).…”
