Abstract. [CuC12(CaH20N20) imposed symmetry but has an approximate molecular C(7N2) mirror plane passing through Cl(1), C1(2), Cu and 0(4).]
Experimental. Compound prepared by reaction ofCuC12.2H20 with bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether in boiling ethanol, crystals obtained by cooling of reaction mixture. Blue-green columnar crystal, 1.08 x 0.35 × 0.35 mm, AED2 four-circle diffractometer, graphite-monochromated Cu Ka radiation, cell parameters from 0 values of 128 reflections measured at +o9 (15 < 0 < 17.5°). For data collection, 09--28 scans with o) scan width (0.70+0.347tan0) °, 20max= 120 °, h 0-, 13, k 0--,13, l 0--,20, no significant crystal movement or decay, initial absorption correction using ~, scans, 1872 unique reflections, giving 1668 with F > 6a(F) for structure solution [from a Patterson synthesis (Cu) followed by iterative cycles of leastsquares refinement and difference Fourier synthesis] and refinement [using full-matrix least squares on F
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.
