Abstract

The crystals of [C9H7NC3H5]Cu(SCN)2 (I) and [C9H7NC3H5]Cu2(SCN)3 (II) were obtained in the reaction of N-allylquinolinium bromide with CuSCN and NH4SCN in a methanol solution. The crystals of I are triclinic: space group P $ \bar 1 $ \bar 1 , Z = 2, a = 8.619(2), b = 8.755(2), c = 10.463(3) Å, α = 77.18(3), β = 69.95(3), γ = 79.38(3)°, V = 718.1(3) Å3. The crystals of II are opthorhombic: space group P212121, Z = 4, a = 5.744(2), b = 16.799(4), c = 17.980(5), V = 1735.9(9) Å3. The structure of compound I is built of infinite linear {Cu(SCN)2−}∞ anions and the N-allylquinolinium cations bonded additionally by relatively weak hydrogen contacts C-H...S. The [C9H7NC3H5]+ cations are located between the corrugated layers of the {Cu2(SCN)3−}∞ anions in compound II. As in the case of the previously studied copper(I) halide complexes, the C=C bond of the allyl group in the N-allylquinolinium cation of complexes I, II does not interact with Cu(I).
