Abstract
The versatile coordination chemistry of bis(pyrimidin-2-ylthio)methane (bptm) allows the synthesis of a series of different metal complexes with diverse structures. We describe here the synthesis and structural characterization of three kinds of compounds: four cyclic dimers, [Co(2)Cl(4)(bptm)(2)] (1), [Zn(2)I(4)(bptm)(2)] (2), [Cd(2)I(4)(bptm)(2)] (3), [Cu(2)(NO(3))(4)(bptm)(2)] (4); two acyclic dimers, [Cu(2)Br(4)(bptm)(3)] (5), [Cu(2)(AcO)(4)(bptm)(2)] (6); and two 2D coordination polymers, [CuBr(bptm)] (7) and [CuI(bptm)] (8). Different structural models are obtained on making small changes in the building units under different synthetic conditions. The effects of the weak interactions in the crystal packing were also analyzed.
