Acetonyltriphenylphosphonium 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium tetrachloridocuprate(II)

The title compound, (C 21 H 20 OP)(C 19 H 15 N 4 )[CuCl 4 ], was obtained by reacting CuCl 2 ·2H 2 O with a mixture of one equivalent of acetonyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and one equivalent of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride in acetonitrile. In the structure, the Cu centre in the dianion is...

Summary:The title compound, (C 21 H 20 OP)(C 19 H 15 N 4 )[CuCl 4 ], was obtained by reacting CuCl 2 ·2H 2 O with a mixture of one equivalent of acetonyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and one equivalent of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride in acetonitrile. In the structure, the Cu centre in the dianion is bonded to four chloride ligands and adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The phosphonium cation likewise adopts the expected tetrahedral geometry. The tetrazolium ring forms dihedral angles of 77.68 (10), 26.85 (11) and 66.48 (10)° with the planes of the benzene rings of the substituent groups. In the crystal, weak C—H...Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions involving both cations and the anion give rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
