Abstract. {[Cu2(C,2H~6N2OsS2)(H20)2].4H20}n,~=2.241mm -~, F(000)= 632, T= 294 K, final R = 0.036 for 1019 independent observed reflections. One N and two O atoms [from the same bis(carboxymethyl)amino moiety] and one O atom (from one water molecule) approximately define for each Cu the square base of a distorted octahedral environment which is achieved by longer trans axial bonds to one S atom (from a disulfide group) and to one O atom (from an adjacent ligand). Each ligand molecule chelates two Cu atoms and is also bonded via a bidendate carboxylate group to two others, thus forming layers linked to each other by water in a hydrogen-bonded network.
(2.4.6 trimethyl pyridine)2 Cu(CH3COO)2 has been obtained as violet needles by slow evaporation. The crystals belong to the monoclinic system, space group P21/C with two molecules in a unit cell of dimension:
a = 7.842 (1), b = 16.384 (2), c = 8.320 (2) Å, β = 101.91 (1)°. The structure was solved by heavy atom method and refined by a least squares method (R = 0.029). The coordination of copper is 4 + 2. The atom arrangements of this structure is very near to the copper acetate one solvated by one water molecule and two 3.4 dimethyl pyridine molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
