Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Mononuclear Copper Complex

A new kind of Cu (II) complex [Cu(tpmb)2Cl2]·CH3OH·H2O (tpmb = 1,3,5-tri(2-pyrimidinyl)sulfanylmethyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene) was synthesized, and its structure has been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P 1 with a = 8.8397(2), b = 13.327(3), c = 13.926(3) A, α = 63.27(3), β = 86.96(3), r = 80.68(3)°, V = 1445.6(5) A3, C49H51Cl2CuN12O2S6, Mr= 1166.82,Z=1, F(000) = 604, Dc = 1.340 g/cm3, μ = 0.735 mm-1, R = 0.0545 and wR = 0.1575 for 4521 observed reflections (I 2σ(I)). X-ray analysis reveals that the Cu (II) ion is coordinated by two Cl- anions and two nitrogen atoms from different pyrimidine groups, forming a square structure.
