Complex 3 was already mentioned in literature, but the structure was not described in detail. The molecules in 2 form infinite chains through additional weak Cu—S interactions along [010] indicating the Jahn‐Teller distortion of the d⁹ ion Cu²⁺. The infinite chains are connected by hydrogen bonding along [100].

In both complexes, Cu–O bonds with the nitro groups may be considered as semi‐coordinated.
