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.

02:42Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
02:42Acidity of 1-Alkynes
The acidic strength of hydrocarbons follows the order: Alkynes > Alkenes > Alkanes. The strength of an acid is commonly expressed in units of pKa — the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. Among the hydrocarbons, terminal alkynes have lower pKa values and are, therefore, more acidic. For example, the pKa values for ethane, ethene, and acetylene are 51, 44, and 25, respectively, as shown here.
02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
02:34Structural 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...
