Abstract
The reaction of cuprous bromide with a mixture of 1,1-bis-(di-phenyl-phosphan-yl)methane (dppm: C25H22P2) and N-allyl-thio-urea (ATU: C4H8N2S) in aceto-nitrile yielded the title solvated dinuclear complex, [Cu2Br2(C4H8N2S)(C25H22P2)2]·2C2H3N or [Cu2Br2(ATU)(dppm)2]·2CH3CN. Both Cu(+) ions adopt distorted tetra-hedral geometries, being coordinated by one terminal Br atom, one μ(2)-S atom of the bridging ATU ligand and two P atoms of the bridging dppm ligands. Within the complex, intra-molecular C-H⋯S, C-H⋯π, N-H⋯Br and π-π stacking inter-actions are observed. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H⋯Br and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak π-π stacking inter-actions, generating chains propagating in the [100] direction.
Highlights
Chemical contextCopper(I) complexes with mixed ligands containing diphosphine are of interest because of their attractive coordination chemistry and several potential applications resulting from their photophysical properties (Yam et al, 1999; Jin et al., 2009; Zhang et al, 2011, 2014; Tsiaggali et al, 2013), antibacterial activity and their interaction ability with native calf thymus DNA (CT–DNA) (Tsiaggali et al, 2013)
