Preparation of R_4?nPb[Mn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n Compounds (R?CH₃, C₆H₅; n = 1, 2) As the first examples of organolead manganese carbonyls substituted in the manganese carbonyl ligand compounds of the type R_4?nPb[Mn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n (R?CH₃, C₆H₅; n = 1, 2) have been prepared by the alkali salt method from R_4?nPbCl_n and NaMn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃. (C₆H₅)₂Sn[Mn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ has been gained by the same method and also by thermal ligand exchange. According the IR data the ligand P(C₆H₅)₃ is trans to the tetrahedrally surrounded lead. In solution to compounds are monomeric.     

Total cross sections for electron scattering by polyatomic molecules at 10–1000 eV: C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8 and C4H8

A model complex optical potential (composed of static, exchange, polarization and absorption terms) is employed to calculate the total (elastic and inelastic) electron-atom scattering cross sections from the corresponding atomic wave function at the Hartree-Fock level. The total cross sections (TCS) for electron scattering by their corresponding molecules (C₂H₂, C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₆, C₃H₈ and C₄H₈) are firstly obtained by the use of the additivity rule over an incident energy range of 10–1000 eV. The qualitative molecular results are compared with experimental data and other calculations wherever available, good agreement is obtained in intermediate-and high-energy region.     

New Thioantimonates(III) with Different Sb:S Ratios: Solvothermal Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [(C3H10NO)(C3H10N)][Sb8S13], [(C2H8NO)(C2H8N)(CH5N)][Sb8S13], [(C6H16N2)(C6H14N2)][Sb6S10], and [C8H22N2][Sb4S7]

Four new thioantimonates(III) with compositions [(C₃H₁₀NO)(C₃H₁₀N)][Sb₈S₁₃] ( 1 ) (C₃H₉NO = 1‐amino‐3‐propanol, C₃H₉N = propylamine), [(C₂H₈NO)(C₂H₈N)(CH₅N)][Sb₈S₁₃] ( 2 ) (C₂H₇NO = ethanolamine, C₂H₇N = ethylamine, CH₅N = methylamine), [(C₆H₁₆N₂)(C₆H₁₄N₂)][Sb₆S₁₀] ( 3 ) (C₆H₁₄N₂ = 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) and [C₈H₂₂N₂][Sb₄S₇] ( 4 ) (C₈H₂₀N₂ = 1,8‐diaminooctane) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compound 1 : triclinic space group P$\bar{1}$ , a = 6.9695(6) Å, b = 13.8095(12) Å, c = 18.0354(17) Å, α = 98.367(11), β = 96.097(11) and γ = 101.281(11)°; compound 2 : monoclinic space group P2₁/m, a = 7.1668(5), b = 25.8986(14), c = 16.0436(11) Å, β = 96.847(8)°; compound 3 : monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 11.6194(9), b = 10.2445(5) Å, c = 27.3590(18) Å, β = 91.909(6)°; compound 4 : triclinic space group P$\bar{1}$ , a = 7.0743(6), b = 12.0846(11), c = 13.9933(14) Å, α = 114.723(10), β = 97.595(11), γ = 93.272(11)°. The main structural feature of the two atoms thick layered [Sb₈S₁₃]^2– anion in 1 are large nearly rectangular pores with dimensions 11.2 × 11.7 Å. The layers are stacked perpendicular to [100] to form tunnels being directed along [100]. In contrast to 1 the structure of 2 contains a [Sb₈S₁₃]^2– chain anion with Sb₁₂S₁₂ pores measuring about 8.9 × 11.5 Å. Only if longer Sb–S distances are considered as bonding interactions a layered anion is formed. The chain anion [Sb₆S₁₀]^2– in compound 3 is unique and is constructed by corner‐sharing SbS₃ pyramids. Two symmetry‐related single chains consisting of alternating SbS₃ units and Sb₃S₃ rings are bound to Sb₄S₄ rings in chair conformation. Finally, in the structure of 4 the SbS₃ and SbS₄ moieties are joined corner‐linked to form a chain of alternating SbS₄ units and (SbS₃)₃ blocks. Neighboring chains are connected into sheets that contain relatively large Sb₁₀S₁₀ heterorings. The sheets are further connected by sulfur atoms generating four atoms thick double sheets.

The absolute configurations of the palmarumycins C₉ 1a, C₁₀ 2, and C₁₂ 3 were assigned by comparison of the quantum-mechanically calculated with the experimental CD spectra as (2R,3S,4aS,8aR), (2R,3R,4S,4aS,8aR), and (2R,3R,4R), respectively.     

Optically active transition-metal compounds: XXII. Stereochemistry and crystal structure determination of (η5-C5H5)CoI(NC4H3C(R)=N(S)-CH(CH3)(C6H5)) (R = H,CH3)

The crystal structures and absolute configurations of (η⁵-C₅H₅)-CoI(NC₄H₃-C(R)=N(S)-CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅)) (R = H, compound I; R = CH₃, compound II) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of compound I are orthorhombic, with a 11.084(6), b 12.107(6) and c 13.121(7) Å, space group ^P2₁2₁2₁ and d (calcd, Z = 4) 1.69 g cm^?3 The structure was solved by the Patterson technique and refined with use of full matrix least-squares methods to R(F) = 0.031 and R_w(F) = 0.028. Compound II is nearly isomorphous and isostructural; a 11.246(6), b 11.923(6) and c 13.370(7) Å, d(calc., Z = 4) 1.71 g cm^?3 and was refined to the final agreement factors of R(F) = 0.044 and R_w(F) = 0.035. The Co atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with Co-I 2.595(2) for I and 2.607(2) Å for II; Co-(η⁵-C₅H₅ ring centroid) 1.681(4) and 1.703(5) Å; Co-N(pyrrole) 1.905(9) and 1.885(9) Å; Co-N(imine) 1.971(8) and 2.003(9) Å, all the parameters being well within values found in the literature. The configuration around the chiral carbon of the phenylethylamine is S for both compounds, whereas the configuration around the metal is R in I and S in II. The different metal configurations in I and II have their origin in the two different substituents (R = H, CH₃) at the imine carbon atoms of the chelate ring, which induce completely different conformations of the (S)-CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) moiety in the two complexes. For both compounds the thermodynamically less stable isomer is enriched upon crystallization. Also, for compound I the solution and solid state conformations are almost opposite to each other, the conformation in the solid reflecting intramolecular interactions (phenyl/C₅H₅ attraction).     

Thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole-2,5-dicarboxylic acid,C6H2N2O4S2, and its coordination polymers

Thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, C₆H₂N₂O₄S₂, was isolated as a polycrystalline material, and its crystal structure was determined by ab-initio X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) methods. This species, upon deprotonation, was subsequently used in preparing the new coordination polymers Ag₂(C₆N₂O₄S₂), Mn(C₆N₂O₄S₂)(H₂O)₂, Co(C₆N₂O₄S₂)(H₂O)₂, Cu(C₆N₂O₄S₂)(H₂O) and Zn(C₆N₂O₄S₂)(H₂O)₂, fully characterized by analytical, thermal and XRPD structural methods – including in situ thermodiffractometry and simultaneous TGA and DSC. In the first-row transition metal derivatives, the [C₆N₂O₄S₂]^2? anion systematically prefers the N,O-chelating, vs. the expected O,O′-bridging, coordination mode, not allowing the formation of porous 3D frameworks. Indeed, these species are dense 1D coordination polymers. At variance, the silver derivative possesses a complex, dense 3D framework, due to the presence of μ₆-[C₆N₂O₄S₂]^2? ligands showing two μ₂-bridging carboxylates and two monohapto N-donor sites. When dehydration is viable, materials of E_n(C₆N₂O₄S₂) formulation are irreversibly recovered (n = 1 for E = Mn, Co, Zn, Cu; n = 2, for E = H).     

The crystal structures of the 1-methyl-3,4-benzo-1-telluracyclopentane and 1-phenyl-1-telluracyclopentane cations in their tetraphenylborate salts,C8H8TeMe+ BPh4− and C4H8TePh+ BPh4−

The crystal structures of C₈H₈TeMe⁺ BPh₄^? (I) and C₄H₈TePh⁺ BPh₄^? (II) have been determined from three-dimensional X-ray counter data.I is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with a 9.175(1), b 17.402(3), c 16.998(3) Å, β 98.92(6)°, Z = 4, R = 5.1% for 1641 observed reflections.II is triclinic, space group P$\text{1}$ with a 9.635(3), b 17.721(3), c 16.858(8) Å, α 89.77(2), β 104.36(4), γ 90.16(2)°, Z = 4, R = 9.0% for 6466 observed reflections.In both I and II tellurium is three-coordinate in a pyramidal geometry, with TeC distances in the range 2.07(1)–2.14(1) Å (I) and 2.10(1)–2.17(1) Å (II). In both structures short contacts of 3.4—3.5 Å occur between tellurium and carbon atoms of the tetraphenylborate anion.     

Synthesis of (+)-1,3,5,7 -tetrakis[2-(1S,3S,5R,6S,8R,10R)-D3-trishomocubanylbuta-1,3-diynyl]adamantane : The first optically active organic molecule with t symmetry and of known absolute configuration

(-)-(1S,3S,5R,6S,8R,10R)-Trishomocubanethanoic acid (5) of known absolute configuration and absolute rotation was converted into (+)-(1S,3S,5S,6S,8R,10R)-2-bromoethynyl-D₃-trishomocubane (27) of C₃ symmetry. 1,3,5,7-Tetraethynyladamantane (22), with Td symmetry, was prepared from 1,3,5,7-tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)adamantane(13). Coupling of the C₃-component 27 with the Td component 22 was successfully accomplished by Chodkiewicz and Cadiot's procedure providing (+)-1,3,5,7-tetrakis[2-(1S,3S,5R,6S,8R,10R)-D₃-trishomocubanylbuta-1,3-diynyl]adamantane(4) whose highest attainable static and time-averaged dynamic symmetry are T and (C₃)⁴ XXX T,respectively.     

Preparation of spiro-cyclic organic polysulfanes of type C6H10Sn and x-ray structural analysis of C6H10S11, a derivative of cyclo-dodecasulfur

By reaction of (C₅H₅)₂Ti(μ-S₂)₂C₆H₁₀ 3 with S₂Cl₂ 7,8,9,10,11,12-hexathiaspiro-[5.6]dodecane 4 is prepared (yield 51%) and characterized by UV, IR, Raman, mass, and NMR spectra (¹H, ¹³C). The seven-membered CS₆ ring undergoes pseudorotation in solution. With S₇Cl₂ the complex 3 yields 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-undecathiaspiro[5.11]heptadecane 5 (yield 23%). The yellow, monoclinic crystals of 5 consist of spirocyclic C₆H₁₀S₁₁ molecules with the C₆ ring in a chair-conformation while the CS₁₁ ring is of the same conformation as cyclododecasulfur S₁₂. UV, IR, Raman, mass and NMR-spectra of 5 are reported. A mixture of dichlorosulfanes S_nCl₂ (n = 1 -8) reacts with 3 to give the homologous series C₆H₁₀S_m which was characterized by reversed-phase HPLC for m = 5 – 14.     

Unimolecular reactions of the isolated immonium ions CH3CH = NH+C4H9, CH3CH2Ch = NH+C4H9 and (CH3)2C = NH+C4H9

The reactions of ten metastable immonium ions of general structure R¹R²C?NH⁺C₄H₉ (R¹ = H, R² = CH₃, C₂H₅; R¹ = R² = CH₃) are reported and discussed. Elimination of C₄H₈ is usually the dominant fragmentation pathway. This process gives rise to a Gaussian metastable peak; it is interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving ion-neutral complexes containing incipient butyl) cations. Metastable immonium ions ontaining an isobutyl group are unique in undergoing a minor amount of imine (R¹R²C?NH) loss. This decomposition route, which also produces a Gaussian metastable peak, decreases in importance as the basicity of the imine increases. The correlation between imine loss and the presence of an isobutyl group is rationalized by the rearrangement of the appropriate ion-neutral complexes in which there are isobutyl cations to the isomeric complexes containing the thermodynamically more stable tert-butyl cations. A sizeable amount of a third reaction, expulsion of C₃H₆, is observed for metastable n-C₄H₉ ⁺NH?CR¹R² ions; in contrast to C₄H₈ and R¹R²C?NH loss, C₃H₆ elimination occurs with a large kinetic energy release (40–48 kJ mol^?1) and is evidenced by a dish-topped metastable peak. This process is explained using a two-step mechanism involving a 1,5-hydride shift, followed by cleavage of the resultant secondary open-chain cations, CH₃CH⁺ CH₂CH₂NHCHR¹R².     

Rate constants for the elementary reactions between CN radicals and CH4, C2H6, C2H4, C3H6, and C2H2 in the range: 295 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 700

Pulsed laser photolysis, time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence experiments have been carried out on the reactions of CN radicals with CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, C₃H₆, and C₂H₂. They have yielded rate constants for these five reactions at temperatures between 295 and 700 K. The data for the reactions with methane and ethane have been combined with other recent results and fitted to modified Arrhenius expressions, k(T) = A′(298) (T/298)ⁿ exp(?θ/T), yielding: for CH₄, A′(298) = 7.0 × 10^?13 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, n = 2.3, and θ = ?16 K; and for C₂H₆, A′(298) = 5.6 × 10^?12 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, n = 1.8, and θ = ?500 K. The rate constants for the reactions with C₂H₄, C₃H₆, and C₂H₂ all decrease monotonically with temperature and have been fitted to expressions of the form, k(T) = k(298) (T/298)ⁿ with k(298) = 2.5 × 10^?10 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, n = ?0.24 for CN + C₂H₄; k(298) = 3.4 × 10^?10 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, n = ?0.19 for CN + C₃H₆; and k(298) = 2.9 × 10^?10 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, n = ?0.53 for CN + C₂H₂. These reactions almost certainly proceed via addition-elimination yielding an unsaturated cyanide and an H-atom. Our kinetic results for reactions of CN are compared with those for reactions of the same hydrocarbons with other simple free radical species. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Solid-state structure determination and solution-state NMR characterization of the (2R,4R)/(2S,4S)- and (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-diastereomers of the agricultural fungicide propiconazole,the (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-symmetrical triazole constitutional isomer,and a ditriazole analogue

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the structure of a racemic diastereomer of the agricultural fungicide propiconazole [1-(2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-n-propyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl-methyl)-1-H-1,2,4-triazole] and of two by-products (a symmetrical 1,3,4-triazole racemic-constitutional isomer and a propiconazole ditriazole analogue). All three crystalline racemic-diastereomers had (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-stereochemistry in which then-propyl group was observed in atrans-to-phenyl disposition. Propiconazole (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-diastereomer gives crystals belonging to the monoclinic space group P2₁,/a, and, at 293 K,a=8.1192(3),b=18.9769(6),c=10.7137(4) å,Β=99.765(3)?,V=1626.8(1) å³, Z=4,R(F)=0.060, andR _w(F)=0.058. The constitutional isomer by-product (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-1-(2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-n-pro-pyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl-methyl)-1-H-1,3,4-triazole gives crystals belonging to the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, and, at 293 K,a=11.1763(6),b=10.7716(4),c=14.5804(8) å,Β=107.445(4)?,V=1674.6(1) å³, Z=4,R(F)=0.043, andR _w(F)=0.043. The ditriazole byproduct (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-1-(2-(2-chloro-4-(1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)phenyl)-4-n-propyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl-methyl)-1-H-1,2,4-triazole gives crystals belonging to the triclinic space groupP¯ 1, and, at 193 K,a=5.3329(8),b=8.3738(7),c=20.240(2) å, α=84.213(6)?,Β=87.20(1)?,γ=86.23(1)?,V=896.5(2) å³, Z=2,R(F)=0.046, andR _w(F)=0.051. The presence of both propiconazole (2R.4S)- and (2S,4R)-enantiomers enables the formation of a crystalline racemic modification, while the diastereomeric propiconazole (2R,4R)- and (2S,4S)-enantiomers are viscous oils. In the absence of its enantiomorphic partner, the propiconazole (2R,4S)- or (2S,4R)-enantiomers remain as viscous oils rather than form chiral crystals.     

[C6H6, C3H7 +]and [C6H7 +, C3H6] ion-neutral complexes intermediate in the reactions of protonated propylbenzenes

From the mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra of labelled ions, kinetic energy releases and thermodynamic data, it is proved that protonated n-propylbenzene (1) isomerizes into protonated isopropyl benzene (2). It is also shown that the dissociation of the less energetic metastable ions of (2), leading to [iso-C₃H₇]⁺ and [C₆H₇]⁺ product ions, is preceded by H exchange. This H exchange involves two interconverting ion-neutral complexes [C₆H₆, iso-C₃H₇⁺] (2π) and [C₆H₇⁺, C₃H₆] (2α).     

First asymmetric synthesis of a C2-symmetric 2-endo,6-endo-disubstituted bispidine

The enantioselective synthesis of a C₂-symmetric 2-endo,6-endo-disubstituted bispidine (3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) has been accomplished for the first time. The key step was a Michael addition of the protected β-amino ester methyl (R)-3-{N-benzyl-N-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]amino}-3-phenylpropionate to its α-methylene derivative delivering an anti,anti-configured α,α′-methylene-bridged bis(β-amino ester) as the major diastereomer. Deprotection, reduction and cyclisation furnished (1R,2R,5R,6R)-2,6-diphenyl-3,7-bis((S)-1-phenylethyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane in six steps and 15% overall yield.

Bis(triorganometal) 1,2-dithiolates (R₃M)₂S₂R′ [(HS)₂R′ = C₇H₈S₂ for toluene-dithiol-3,4 (H₂TDT); M = Sn, Pb; R = Ph; or (HS)₂R′ = C₁₀H₁₄S₂ for 1,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(mercaptomethyl)benzene (H₂DBB); M = Sn, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Pb, R = C₆H₅], diorganometal 1,2-dithiolates R₂MS₂R′ [(HS)₂R′ = C₆H₆S₂ for 1,2-dimercaptobenzene (H₂DMB); M = Pb, R = CH₃, C₂H₅, C₆H₅; or (HS)₂R′ = H₂TDT; M = Sn, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Pb, R = C₆H₅; or (HS)₂R′ = H₂DBB; M = Sn, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Pb, R = CH₃, C₂H₂, C₆H₅; or (HS)₂R′ = C₈H₆N₂S₂ for 2,3-dimercaptoquinoxaline (H₂QDT); M = Pb, R = C₆H₅] and some lead(IV) and lead(II) dithiolates Pb(S₂R′)_n [(HS)₂R′ = H₂DMB, n = 2; (HS)₂R′ = H₂TDT, n = 2; (HS)₂R′ = H₂DBB, n = 1 or 2] have been prepared. Vibrational, ¹H NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopic data are consistent with pentacoordination of tin in R₂SnTDT and with tetracoordination of tin in R₂SnS₂R′ and (R₃Sn)₂S₂R′ in the solid state. The soluble compounds are monomeric in solution. Coupling constants for the methyltin compounds indicate tetracoordination in solution.     

New synthetic routes for the preparation of the triangular trinuclear clusters of tungsten-containing bromine atoms as terminal ligands: Structural characterization of [W3S4Br3(depe)3]PF6·0.5C7 H8 and [W3S4Br3(depe)3]Br·2CH3OH

Synthetic methods are reported for the preparation of compounds containing the trinuclear triangular cluster [W₃S₄Br₃(depe)₃[⁺. These involve reactions between WBr₅ and NaB(C₂ H₅)₃H or NaBH₄ as reducing agent in THF, and subsequent addition of methanolic solutions of NaHS and depe ligand. Both compounds, [W₃S₃Br₃(depe)₃]PF₆·0.5C₇H₈,1, and [W₃S₄Br₃(depe)₃]Br·2CH₃OH,2, are characterized by x-ray single crystal studies. Compounds1 and2 crystallize in space group \(P\bar 1\) . For1,a=10.427 (3) Å,b=15.415(4) Å,c=18.140(5) Å, α=79.36(2)°, β=73.59(2)°, γ=81.54(2)°, andV=2734.8(2) ų;R=0.050 and for 2a=10.491(3) Å,b=15.074(3) Å,c=18.246 Å, α=95.76(2)°, β=105.82(2)°, γ=98.18(2)°, andV=2718.4(3) ų;R=0.081. The two cations in1 and2 possess C₃ symmetry. The W-W distances are in the range 2.783?2.891 Å (for1) and 2.778?2.785 Å (for2) and the average W-Br distances in1 and2 are 2.616[2] Å and 2.594[4] Å, respectively. Each metal atom in the [W₃S₄Br₃(depe)₃]⁺ ions is attached to one capping sulfur atom, two bridging sulfur atoms, one bromine atom, and one chelating depe ligand. One P atom in depe ligand istrans to μ₃-S and the otherP atom istrans to a μ₂-S atom. UV-Vis and NMR spectra for these compounds are also reported.     

Synthesis,characterization and in vitro antitumor activity of some arylantimony ferrocenecarboxylates and crystal structures of C5H5FeC5H4CO2SbPh4 and (C5H5FeC5H4CO2)2Sb(4‐CH3C6H4)3

A series of arylantimony ferrocenecarboxylates with the formula (C₅H₅FeC₅H₄CO₂)_nSbAr_(5?n) (n = 1, 2; Ar = C₆H₅, 4‐CH₃C₆H₄, 3‐CH₃C₆H₄, 2‐CH₃C₆H₄, 4‐ClC₆H₄, 4‐FC₆H₄) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra. The crystal structures of (C₅H₅FeC₅H₄CO₂)₂Sb(4‐CH₃C₆H₄)₃ and C₅H₅FeC₅H₄CO₂SbPh₄ were determined by X‐ray diffraction. Four human neoplastic cell lines (HL‐60, Bel‐7402, KB and Hela) were used to screen these compounds. The results indicate that these compounds at 10 µM show certain in vitro antitumor activities.

Unique Isle Anion [Cu6Cl10]4- in π-Complex of Cu(I) Chloride with 1-(2-Pyridyl)-4-allyl-piperazinium. Synthesis and crystal structure of [(C5H4NH)NC4H8NH(C3H5]2+[Cu3Cl5]2-

Single crystals of [(C₅H₄NH)NC₄H₈NH(C₃H₅)]²⁺[Cu₃Cl₅]^2? are obtained by ac synthesis in ethanol from 1-(2-pyridyl)-4-allyl-piperazinium and Cu(II) dichlorides and their structure is studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (space group P-1, a = 7.246(7) Å, b = 8.54(1) Å, c = 16.41(1) Å, α = 70.76(8)°, β = 77.24(8)°, λ = 80.42(9)°, V = 30(4) ų, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.0686. In the structure of this π-complex, the Cu and Cl atoms form unusual centrosymmetrical Cu₆Cl₁₀ fragments, each fragment being bonded to two 1-(2-pyridyl)-4-allyl-piper-azinium cations via π-interaction Cu-(C=C). A three-dimensional structure is formed by means of N-H…Cl hydrogen bonds. The trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(1) atom includes three Cl atoms and the C=C bond, while the tetrahedral surrounding of Cu(2) and the trigonal surrounding of Cu(3) involve the Cl atoms only.
