Abstract:
In the title compound, (C12H25NH3)2[Cu(C6Cl2O4)2(C2H5OH)2], the Cu(II) atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by four O atoms of two chloranilate ligands and two O atoms of two ethanol mol-ecules which are trans to each other in the axial positions. In the crystal, the Cu(II) mononuclear dianions are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a tape along the a-axis direction. The tapes are linked through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the dianion and the n-do-decyl-ammonium cation, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane.

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature
Nomenclature of Secondary and Tertiary Amines
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
