Abstract

The new crystalline compound of catena-μ-chloro-bis(acetonitrile)copper(I) [(H3CCN)2 CuCl] has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound is an infinite polymeric chain in which chlorides bridge the coppers. Copper exhibits tetrahedral coordination geometry with two acetonitrile molecules acting as coordinating ligands. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group with a = 12.585(3) Å, b = 7.496(2) Å, and c = 7.275(2) Å.
