Tetrakis(N-methylthiourea-S)copper(I) iodide

M. Mufakkar, S. Ahmad, I. U. Khan, H.-K. Fun and S. Chantrapromma

Abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C₂H₆N₂S)₄]I, the Cu^I atom lies on a ${\\bar 4}$ axis. Each Cu^I centre binds to the S atoms of four N-methylthiourea ligands in a distorted tetrahedral environment. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-HS and N-HI hydrogen bonds, together with weak C-HN interactions, link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional network.
