Universal hydrogen bonds in the complex with the partners of neighboring molecule have generated a supramolecular arrangement. Solid-state emission of the ligand and its complex have been investigated at room temperature.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of a New Dinuclear Copper Complex [C2H6ON]2[Cu2Cl2（μ-CH3COO）4]

The hydrothermal reaction of copper chloride dihydrate and 5,5-dimethyl-imidazolidine,-2,4-dione with a mole ratio of 1：1 in acetonitrile resulted in the formation of a new acetate-bridged dinuclear copper complex, [C2H6ON]2[Cu2Cl2（μ-CH3COO）4]. Protonated acetamide in eaolie form and acetic acid were yielded by the hydrolysis of acetonitrile under hydrothennal condition. The rifle complex （C12H24Cl2Cu2N2O10） was characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, IR spectrum, elemental and electrochemical analysis. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 8.298004）, b = 14.358（2）, c = 12.0010（2） A^°, β= 130.620（3）°, V = 1085.3（2） A^°^3, Dc = 1.696 g/cm^3, 34, = 554.31, Z = 2, F（000） = 564 and μ = 2.254 mm^-1. The crystal structure consists of a tetraacetate-bridging dinulcear copper complex anion [Cu2Cl2（μ-CH3COO）4]^2-, with the chlorine anions in the axial positions, and two protonated acetamide cations [C2H6ON]^＋, which were connected through hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional infinite network.
