Hexa­kis­(μ₃-1-methyl­thio­urea-κ³S:S:S)hexa­kis­[iodidocopper(I)]

The title compound, [Cu₆I₆(C₂H₆N₂S)₆], was obtained from the reaction of copper(I) iodide with N-methyl­thio­urea (Metu) in equimolar amounts in acetonitile. The complex consists of two six-membered trinuclear Cu₃S₃I₃ cores that combine through triply bridging Metu, forming a hexa­nuclear core which has -3 symmetry. The Cu^II atom is coordinated by three S atoms of Metu and one iodide ion in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H...I hydrogen bonds and cuprophilic inter­actions [Cu...Cu = 3.0264 (9) Å].

2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)acetohydrazide

In the title compound C₁₀H₁₁N₃O, the mean plane of the indole ring system (r.m.s. deviation 0.0131 Å) subtends a dihedral angle of 87.27 (5)° to the almost planar acetohydrazide substituent (r.m.s. deviation 0.0291 Å). In the crystal, bifurcated N—H...(O,N) and N—H...N hydrogen bonds involving the pyrrole N–H grouping combine to form zigzag chains along a. Additional N—H...O contacts from the hydrazide N–H group augmented by C—H...π inter­actions link the mol­ecules into chains along the a axis. The overall effect of these contacts is a three-dimensional network structure with mol­ecules stacked along the b-axis direction.

N,N-Bis(2-hy­droxy­eth­yl)-4-methyl­benzene­sulfonamide

In the title compound C₁₁H₁₇NO₄S, an intra­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bond forms an S(8) ring and determines the conformation of the bis­(2-hy­droxy­eth­yl) segment of the mol­ecule, holding the two CH₂CH₂OH groups close to coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.185 Å). In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into zigzag chains along the b axis. Weaker additional C—H...O and C—H...π contacts generate a three dimensional network, with mol­ecules stacked along the b-axis direction.
