摘要:
The title complex, [CuCl(C4H8OS)](n), contains infinite spiral (CuS)(n) chains linked by bridging Cl atoms into layers. The Cl atoms do not form polymeric fragments with Cu-I, but combine into isolated centrosymmetric Cu2Cl2 units. The compound is non-isomorphous with the Br-containing analogue, which contains Cu8S8 rings linked by Br atoms into chains. The O atom of the 1,4-oxathiane molecule does not realize its coordination abilities in the known copper(I)-halide complexes, while in copper(II)-halide complexes, oxathiane is coordinated via the S and O atoms. This falls into a pattern of the preferred interactions, viz. weak acid (Cu-I atom) with weak base ( S atom) and harder acid (Cu-II atom) with harder base ( O atom).
