Chloro(N,N′-dimethyldithiocarbamato-κ2 S,S′)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)copper(II)

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [CuII(C3H6NS2)Cl(C12H8N2)], the CuII atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry comprising one S,S′-bidentate dimethyldithiocarbamate (Me2dtc) ligand, one N,N′-bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand and an apical Cl atom. A mirror plane passes through the Cu and Cl atoms, and also through the Csp 2—N bond of the dithiocarbamate. The complex molecules are linked together by C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a bilayered one-dimensional chain along the a axis.
