Tetrakis(phenylthiourea-S)copper(I) chloride

Y. Liu and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: The Cu^I atom of the title complex, [Cu(C₇H₈N₂S)₄]Cl, is located on a $\overline 4$ inversion axis and has distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, formed by four phenylthiourea S atoms. Within the phenylthiourea ligands, the C-N(imino) bonds [1.341 (2) Å] are significantly longer than the C-N(amino) bonds [1.316 (3) Å]. The Cl^- anion is located on another $\overline 4$ inversion axis and links with four complex cations via N-HCl hydrogen bonding.
