Bis-(N,N'-diphenyl-thio-urea)iodido-copper(I) monohydrate
Abstract:
In the title compound, [CuI(C(13)H(12)N(2)S)(2)]·H(2)O, each Cu(I) ion is coordinated by two S atoms [Cu-S 2.2282 (16), 2.2377 (15) Å] from two N,N'-diphenyl-thio-urea ligands and one iodide ion [Cu-I 2.5170 (11) Å] in a trigonal planar geometry. The uncoordinated water mol-ecules are involved in N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding [N⋯O 2.947 (5), 3.055 (5) Å], which link the mol-ecules into chains extended in the [101] direction. These chains are further paired by weak inter-molecular O-H⋯S hydrogen bonds [O⋯S 3.490 (4) Å].

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
