Abstract

The coordination chemistry of the ligand N-thiazol-2-yl-toluenesulfonamidate towards the copper(II) ion has been investigated using an electrochemical synthesis method. The X-ray structure of this complex was elucidated and is discussed. The compound crystallised in the monoclinic crystal system, P21/c space group with a = 17.3888(9), b = 16.3003(9), c = 18.3679(9) Å and β = 114.3640(10)°. Four bidentate sulfathiazolato anions bridge two metal centers in a paddle-wheel fashion, with the nitrogen atoms as donors to give a dimeric species with a Cu···Cu distance of 2.7859(5) Å.

Graphical Abstract

The coordination chemistry of the ligand N-thiazol-2-yl-toluenesulfonamidate towards the copper(II) ion has been investigated using an electrochemical synthesis method. The X-ray structure of the product has been elucidated and is discussed. Sulfathiazolato anions act as bridging ligands to give a dimeric species with a Cu···Cu distance of 2.7859(5) Å.
