Abstract

IN verifying the validity of Peyron's and Jörgensen's rule in organic halogen complexes of copper, Serátor1 found that a compound intermediate between CuPy2Cl2 and CuPy2Br2 exists. Crystallo-chemical studies of these compounds were based on the crystal structure of CuPy2Cl2, which has been solved by Dunitz2. We have solved the crystal structure of the bromine derivative3.
