Abstract
The crystal structure of
has been determined by X-ray analysis. The monoclinic cell, space groupC2/c witha=12.956(2),b=15.873(2),c=17.437(2) Å,β=105.90(1)° contains eight formula units. The structure was determined using MoKα. automatic diffractometer X-ray data and refined by full-matrix least squares toR=0.039 for 3025 reflections. Two crystallographically independent 3-memylrhodanines are coordinated to copper, and another 3-methylrhodanine is not bonded to copper and is in a disordered position around the crystallographic two-fold axis. In the dimeric structure with bridging chlorine atoms, the copper is in tetrahedral coordination with two chlorine and two sulfur atoms. The copper-copper distance is 2.906(1) Å.
