Abstract: | Structural effects: disordering, twinning, polymorphism, and morphotropism due to substitution of halide atoms are considered using the results of X-ray diffraction analysis of 18 olefinic π-complexes of Cu(I). These effects are associated with the heterodesmic character of compounds, in particular, with weak interactions such as lengthened coordination bonds and hydrogen contacts.
