Crystal Structure of Isothiocyanato-N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)propane-1,3-diaminecopper(II) Perchlorate

Abstract

The complex of an isothiocyanato-N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)propane-1,3-diaminecopper(II) perchlorate ([Cu(NCS)(LMe₂)]ClO₄) was prepared. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffractometry. [Cu(NCS)(LMe₂)]ClO₄ crystallized in a triclinic system, and was characterized thus: P1, a = 9.257(3), b = 9.883(4), c = 11.806(5)Å, α = 89.638(12), β = 81.053(10), γ = 88.841(12)°, Z = 2, V = 1066.7(7)ų. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares on F² to final values of R1 = 0.058.
