Synthesis and X-ray structure of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)(µ-dichloro)-dicopper(II), Cu2(Et2dtc)2Cl2, and the X-ray structure of Cu3(Et2dtc)2Cl3, an unusual mixed valence CuII, CuI reduction product
Abstract
The preparation and crystal structure of the dimeric chloro-bridged copper(II) dithiocarbamate complex, Cu2(Et2dtc)2Cl2, are described, together with the crystal structure of a related minor product, Cu3(Et2dtc)2-Cl3, which proves to be an unusual mixed valence CUII/CUI polymer.
