Block-like pale-yellow crystals of (I) were obtained by diffusing a solution of 2-mercaptothiazoline (0.160 g) in tetrahydrofuran (6 ml) into a solution of CuCl (0.033 g) in CH3CN (6 ml) at room temperature for four weeks.
The H atoms on the ligands were located at geometrically calculated positions with H-atom parameters constrained (C—H = 0.97 Å). The aqua H atoms were not located in the structure. The highest residual peak (1.60 e Å-3) is located at the position (0.142, 0.816, 0.460), which is 0.59 Å from O (which O atom?); the deepest hole (-0.67 e Å-3) is located at the position (0.185, 0.582, 0.070), which is 0.80 Å from Cu.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Polynuclear d10 metal complexes are potential luminescent sensor materials due to their interesting photochemical and photophysical properties (Ford et al., 1999; Yam & Lo, 1999). In a recent effort to investigate the dependence of the optical properties of coinage metal complexes on molecular structure and metal-metal interactions (Zhou et al., 2002), a variety of novel polynuclear compounds have been obtained through the selective use of different chelating ligands. Copper complexes with 2-mercaptothiazoline (or 2-thiazolidine-2-thione) ligands have been reported previously, e.g. for mononuclear [Cu(C3H5NS2)3Cl] (Zhao et al., 1985) and [(PPh3)2Cu(C3H4NS2)] (Aslanidis et al., 1998), as well as for polymeric [Cu(C3H4NS2)]4·C7H8, which was prepared electrochemically (Raper et al., 1995). In this paper, we report the solution synthesis and single-crystal structure of the title compound, (I), which features similar tetracopper(I) chain structures but with different dimensions, due to solvation effects. \sch
The marked structural feature of (I) is the formation of one-dimensional chains that are built up from butterfly-like [Cu(C3H4NS2)]4 tetrameric units. As shown in Fig. 1, each building block consists of four Cu atoms divided into two categories, with Cu1 and Cu2 in a distorted S3N tetrahedral coordination geometry, and Cu3 and Cu4 in a distorted S2N triangle. The distance between atoms Cu1 and Cu2 on the `wing-tip' [3.775 (1) Å] is much longer than that between the `spinal' atoms Cu3 and Cu4 [2.9764 (10) Å], yielding a butterfly-like shape.
These butterfly-like tetramers link with neighbouring units through the wing-tip atoms Cu1 and Cu2 via S bridging atoms (S21 and S11) at opposite ends, leading to an infinite one-dimensional structure along the [110] direction (Fig. 2). The chain extension at both ends is actually generated through centrosymmetrically related Cu2S2 motifs. The intra-tetramer Cu—Cu distances are in the range 2.7103 (10)–2.9764 (10) Å, slightly longer than the range of 2.692 (4)–2.882 (5) Å reported in [Cu(C3H4NS2)]4·C7H8 (Raper et al., 1995).
The intercluster distances of 3.468 (1) Å for Cu1—Cu1i and 3.487 (1) Å for Cu2—Cu2ii (Fig. 1) [symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, -z; (ii) -x, 2 - y, -z Are these the correct symmetry codes?], are significantly longer in comparison with the intracluster distances, and are well above the sum of the van der Waals radii, implying no direct metal-metal interaction between tetramers. It is worth noting that the Cu—Cu distances around atom Cu3 are slightly longer than those around atom Cu4, presumably because 2-mercaptothiazoline is a very asymmetric bidendate ligand. Uncoordinated water molecules are located between the polymeric chains to serve for efficient solvation and packing.
While each C3H4NS2 moiety serves as a bidendate ligand through the N and thionato S atoms, the four ligands around the tetrameric CuI unit are grouped into two types in accordance with the butterfly-like configuration. Ligands 3 and 4 are coordinated to only one tetramer, whereas ligands 1 and 2 play additional roles to bridge two neighbouring tetramers via the thionato S atoms. The bond distances associated with the centrosymmetrically related Cu2S2 units are Cu1—S21 2.4393 (14) and 2.6702 (14) Å, and Cu2—S11 2.4463 (14) and 2.5880 (14) Å, which are slightly shorter than those in [Cu(C3H4NS2)]4·C7H8 [2.539 (3) and 2.790 (3) Å], presumably due to the presence of the water solvent molecules, which are smaller than the toluene. The remaining Cu—S distances are in the range 2.2191 (13)–2.3163 (14) Å, with Cu—N distances ranging from 1.991 (4) to 2.021 (4) Å; both are in good agreement with those reported in [Cu(C3H4NS2)]4·C7H8 (Raper et al., 1995) and [Cu(1-methylimidazoline-2(3H)-thionate)]4 (Raper et al., 1991).
