New observations of structural diversity in copper(ii) complexes of diphenylsulfimide

Abstract

Reaction of S,S′-diphenylsulfimide, Ph2SNH (1), with Cu[BF4]2 in acetonitrile generates a solution from which six products may be crystallised: two polymorphs of [Cu(Ph2SNH)4][BF4]2, the inter-allogon [Cu(Ph2SNH)4]2[BF4]4, the mixed coordination system [Cu(Ph2SNH)4][Cu(Ph2SNH)5][BF4]4, five-coordinate [Cu(Ph2SNH)5][BF4]4 (2) and the nitrile adduct [Cu(Ph2SNH)3(Ph2SNC(Me)NH)][BF4]2 (3). Great structural diversity is also observed in the perchlorate [Cu(Ph2SNH)4][ClO4]2 (4) and [Cu(Ph2SNH)4]2[ClO4]4 (5) and nitrate [Cu(Ph2SNH)4][NO3]2 (6) and [Cu(Ph2SNH)4][Cu(Ph2SNH)5][NO3]4 (7) salts.
