Crystal Structure of Bis(6,6′-dimethylsulfanyl-2,2′-bipyridyl)copper(I) Hexafluorophosphate

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C₁₂H₁₂N₂S₂)₂]⁺(PF₆)^-, crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with cell constants a = 10.1636(9)Å, b = 15.0684(8)Å, c = 18.7741(14)Å, β = 90.747(7)° and Z = 4. The copper(I) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two bidentate 6,6′-dimethylsulfanyl-2,2′-bipyridyl ligands. The CuN₄ unit has a distorted tetrahedral geometry with the N-Cu-N angles ranging from 80.45(19)° to 139.8(2)°.
