The structure of the adduct between 2-ethoxycyanopyridine and copper(II) chloride

The presence of the alkoxylated intermediate formed by the addition of alcohol to the cyano group has been confirmed by the isolation of the dimeric copper(II) complex [CuCl 2C 8N 2OH 10] 2, in which each five coordinate copper atom is bound to two chlorine and two nitrogen atoms in a square planar...

More Information
Summary:The presence of the alkoxylated intermediate formed by the addition of alcohol to the cyano group has been confirmed by the isolation of the dimeric copper(II) complex [CuCl 2C 8N 2OH 10] 2, in which each five coordinate copper atom is bound to two chlorine and two nitrogen atoms in a square planar arrangement. In addition, there are weak axial interactions between the copper and chlorine atoms which allow the formation of a centrosymmetric dimer in which the copper atom has a square planar coordination.
