Abstract
The salts Cu(CN) and Cu(NCS) react with 2,2?-biquinoline (bq = C18H12N2) to give the adducts [{Cu3(bq)2(CN)3}n](1) and [{Cu3(bq)2(NCS)3}n](2). Complex (1) crystallizes in space group C2/m with cell dimensions a= 13.626(2), b= 15.322(2), c= 7.908(1)Å, ?= 95.89(1)°, and Z= 2. It consists of chains of CN-bridged copper atoms, each copper being either linearly or tetrahedrally co-ordinated. The tetrahedral copper is also co-ordinated to bq. Pairs of bq molecules belonging to parallel chains stack with an interplanar spacing of 3.35 Å. Complex (2) is microcrystalline and from hot dimethyl sulphoxide gives crystals of [Cu(bq)(NCS)](3). The polarization properties of the i.r. and electronic bands of complex (1) have been determined. In the optical spectrum two metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions could be detected. Comparison of the spectroscopic properties of the three compounds indicates a lower degree of polymerization for (3).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
