Abstract: | Hexakis(N—allylthiourea)tetracopper(I) Tetratrifluoromethanesulfonate, Cu4{CH2=CHCH2NHC(S)NH2}6](CF3SO3)4 (sp.gr.P21/n, a = 13.5463(8), b = 24.129(2), c = 19.128(1)Å, β = 108.053(6)°, Z = 4, R = 0.0440 for 13548 unique reflections) was obtained by reduction of Cu(CF3SO3)2 with excess of N—allylthiocarbamide in benzene medium. Four crystallographical independent Cu atoms possess trigonal environment of three S atoms of CH2=CHCH2NHC(S)NH2 moiety and form Cu4S64+ adamantane—like fragments. The latteres are connected with CF3SO3— anions via (C)—H···F hydrogen bonds. |
