Summary

New complexes of copper(I) withN,N′-dialkylsubstituted imidazolidine-2-thione ligands were prepared by reduction of CuX2 (X = Cl or Br). The i.r. spectra show that in all the complexes the ligand coordinates through the sulphur atom. The crystal structure of chloro-bis(N,N′-dimethylimidazolidine-2-thione)copper(I) has been determined from x-ray diffraction data. Crystals are monoclinic. space groupC 2, with unit cell dimensions:a = 16.022(15),b = 9.942(10),c = 15.112(15) A, β = 139.84(10)2, Z = 4. The final R index is 5.2%. The copper coordination is trigonal, involving sulphur atoms of the two ligands and One chlorine atom. The steric effect of the two methyls imposes a rotation of the imidazolidine rings with respect to the coordination plane. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of thiourea moieties. parallel one with the other. and the coordination plane is 119.3°.
