Abstract

1‐tert‐Butyl‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazole (tbtr) was found to react with copper(II) chloride or bromide to give the complexes [Cu(tbtr)2X2]n and [Cu(tbtr)4X2] (X = Cl, Br). 1‐tert‐Butyl‐1H‐tetrazole (tbtt) reacts with copper(II) bromide resulting in the formation of the complex [Cu3(tbtt)6Br6]. The obtained crystalline complexes as well as free ligand tbtr were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal and X‐ray analyses. For free ligand tbtr, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were also recorded. In all the complexes, tbtr and tbtt act as monodentate ligands coordinated by CuII cations via the heteroring N4 atoms. The triazole complexes [Cu(tbtr)2Cl2]n and [Cu(tbtr)2Br2]n are isotypic, being 1D coordination polymers, formed at the expense of single halide bridges between neighboring copper(II) cations. The isotypic complexes [Cu(tbtr)4Cl2] and [Cu(tbtr)4Br2] reveal mononuclear centrosymmetric structure, with octahedral coordination of CuII cations. The tetrazole compound [Cu3(tbtt)6Br6] is a linear trinuclear complex, in which neighboring copper(II) cations are linked by single bromide bridges.
