1-(4-Bromobenzyl)pyridinium bis(1,2-dicyanoethylene-1,2-dithiolato)cuprate(III)

H. Xu and X.-M. Ren

Abstract: The title complex [systematic name: 1-(4-bromobenzyl)pyridinium bis(1,2-dicyanoethylene-1,2-dithiolato)cuprate(III)], (C₁₂H₁₁BrN)[Cu(C₄N₂S₂)₂], is isostructural with 1-(4-bromobenzyl)pyridinium bis(maleonitriledithiolato)nickelate(III) [Ren, Meng, Song, Hu, Lu & Chen (2002). Inorg. Chem. 41, 5686-5692]. Its prominent structural feature is that both anions and cations form segregated columnar stacks along the c axis, and both anionic and cationic columns are regular.
