O)copper(II)Abstract: The title CuII complex, [Cu2(NCS)4(C6H10N4)2], represents the first crystal structure of a polynuclear transition metal complex with the 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine ligand (HL). It is compared with previously reported crystal structures of metal complexes with the same HL ligand. The molecule contains an eight-membered binuclear Cu2(NCS)2 ring, which is centrosymmetric and in a chair conformation. The Cu atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with a very elongated Cu-S bond of 2.993 (2) Å. The crystal structure redetermination of the bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine-

O)copper(II)complex, [Cu(NO3)2(C6H10N4)2], and analysis of its hydrogen bonds confirm the significance of the NO3 groups in the formation of a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network. Both complexes are centrosymmetric, the inversion centre being located at the mid-point of the Cu

If the supplementary material that you require is not shown in the list above, it may only be available in our hard-copy archive. However, our policy is to progressively digitize old hard-copy supplementary documents where possible.
Please help us to work towards this goal by completing the form below. This will register your wish to receive a supplementary document, which we shall scan to create a PDF and then make available via the web to you and to other requestors in the future.
