Syntheses and crystal structures of two copper(I)-halide π,σ-coordination compounds based on 2-[(prop-2-en-1-yl)sulfan-yl]pyridine.

ABSTRACT: The title compounds, di-μ-chlorido-bis-({2-[(η-2,3)-(prop-2-en-1-yl)sulfan-yl]pyridine-κN}copper(I)), [Cu₂Cl₂(C₈H₉NS)₂], and di-μ-bromido-bis-({2-[(η-2,3)-(prop-2-en-1-yl)sulfan-yl]pyridine-κN}copper(I)), [Cu₂Br₂(C₈H₉NS)₂], were obtained by alternating-current electrochemical synthesis starting from an ethano-lic solution of 2-[(prop-2-en-1-yl)sulfan-yl]pyridine (Psup) and the copper(II) halide. The isostructural crystals are built up from centrosymmetric [Cu₂ Hal ₂(Psup)₂] dimers, which are formed due to the π,σ-chelating behavior of the organic ligand. In the crystals, the dimers are linked by C-H⋯Hal hydr
