Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of the title complex has been determined. The space group isP21/n, witha=8.460(3),b=8.503(3),c=20.341 (8) Å,β=98.41(3) andZ=2. The ligand molecules chelate the CuII such that the metal has a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry; four N atoms occupy the equatorial plane and two H2O molecules occupy the axial positions. The average Cu-N and Cu-O distances are 2.005(6) and 2.47(1) Å, respectively. The novel ligand, 1,1′-dimethyl-2,2′-diimidazolylsulfide was formedin situ from a methanolic solution of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate and 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol. The measured spectral parameters (visible, EPR, and photoelectron spectroscopy) correlate well with the molecular structure.
