Crystal structure of the copper(I) complex of 2,5-dithiahexane-1,6-dicarboxylic acid

Abstract

Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, space group P2/n, with Z= 2 in a unit cell of dimensions: a= 9·937, b= 7·708, c= 11·660 Å(all ±0·001 Å) and β= 94·95 ± 0·01°. The structure was determined from three-dimensional diffractometer data by Patterson and minimum function methods and refined by least-squares methods to R 0·081 for 1339 reflections. The copper atoms, tetrahedrally surrounded by the sulphur atoms of two complexing molecules, are on special positions on diad axes.
