Dichloridobis(1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-di­methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-2-thiol­ate-κS)copper(II)

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₁₁H₂₀N₂S)₂], shows the Cu^II atom with a distorted tetra­hedral geometry from two Cl atoms [Cu—Cl = 2.2182 (6) Å] and two thione S atoms [Cu—S = 2.3199 (6) Å]. The angles at the copper cation, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, are Cl—Cu—Cl = 142.84 (4)°, Cl—Cu—S = 94.80 (2) and 99.97 (2)°, and S—Cu—S = 132.46 (4)°. The planes of the two imidazolium rings make a dihedral angle of 76.92 (8)°.

2-Benzyl­sulfanyl-N-(1,3-dimethyl­imidazolidin-2-yl­idene)aniline

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₁N₃S, shows a twisted conformation with a dihedral angle of 67.45 (4)° between the aromatic ring planes and an N-C-C-S torsion angle of -5.01 (13)°. The imidazolidine ring and the aniline moiety make a dihedral angle of 56.03 (4)° and the asscociated C-N-C angle is 125.71 (10)°. The guanidine-like C=N double bond is clearly localized, with a bond length of 1.2879 (14) Å. The C-S-C angle is 102.12 (5)° and the S-C(aromatic) and S-C bond lengths are 1.7643 (11) and 1.8159 (12) Å.
