Synthesis by self-assembly and structural characterization of a new co-crystal system {[Cu(NO3)2(H2O)2]L1(NO3)2} (L1 = 1,1′-dibenzyl-3,3′-butyl-diimidazolium-2,2′-diylidene) from copper nitrate and a carbene precursor

Abstract

Herein, the first example of a co-crystal system formed by an imidazolium nitrate, a carbene precursor, and copper (II) nitrate,is reported.
