Abstract

Abstract The N‐(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐N′‐benzoylthiourea ligand (shown as L) (1) was synthesized and characterized. Reactions of 1 with CuCl2 and CuBr2 afforded the monomeric L2CuCl (2) and dimeric [LBrCu(μ‐L)]2 (3), respectively, due to the reduction of CuII. The reaction of 1 and CuCl gave the same product L2CuCl (2), while the treatment of 1 with CuBr led to the formation of a rare example of adamantanoid cage (LCu)2(μ‐L)2Cu2(μ‐Br)4 (4) containing enantiomeric couple. The product of 1 and CuI was found to be dimeric [LICu(μ‐L)]2 (5), which is isomorphous to 3. All compounds obtained were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.
