Abstract:
In the title compound, [Cu(NO(3))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(4)S(4))](n), the Cu(II) atom, occupying a crystallographic inversion centre, is six-coordinated by two N atoms of two 2,2'-[1,2-ethane-diyl-bis-(thio)]bis-[1,3,4-thia-diazole] ligands in trans positions, and four O atoms from two symmetry-related opposite nitrate anions, which are asymmetrically bonded, resulting in a strong distorted octa-hedral geometry of the central atom. The ethane group is equally disordered over two sites via another inversion centre. The bridging bidentate 2,2'-[1,2-ethanediylbis(thio)]bis-[1,3,4-thia-diazole] ligands link the Cu(II) centres into a one-dimensional chain. The chains are inter-connected via inter-molecular S⋯O inter-actions [3.044 (4) and 3.084 (5) Å] and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
