Preparation, Characterization, X-Ray Structure Determination and Solution Properties of some Novel Copper(I) Bisulfate and Sulfate Salts and Their Stable Derivatives
Two highly unstable copper(I) salts, i. e. copper(I) bisulfate tetraacetonitrile, [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)]HSO(4), and dicopper(I) sulfate octaacetonitrile, [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)](2)SO(4), and their stable derivatives with 2,9-dimethy1-1,10-phenanthroline (DMPhen) have been prepared in pure form and characterized by elemental, spectral and chemical analysis. Single-crystal X-ray studies of [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)]HSO(4) and its derivative [Cu(DMPhen)(2)]HSO(4) have been carried out. The solution behavior of both of these salts and their derivatives have been investigated using UVNis, IR, (63)Cu NMR spectroscopy and molar conductance in a number of non-aqueous solvents. Furthermore, a simple method for the preparation of Cu(2)SO(4) is presented.
