Description
Summary:The ionic title complex, [Cu(C3H10N2)2(H2O)2][Cr(NCS)4(NH3)2]·8C2H6OS, consists of complex [Cu(dipr)2(H2O)2]2+ copper cations (dipr is propane-1,3-diamine), complex [Cr(NCS)4(NH3)2]− anions and uncoordinated solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecules. All the metal atoms lie on crystallographic centers of symmetry. The cations are connected to the anions through N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the NH3 molecules of the anion and the water molecules of the cation. The DMSO molecules are involved in hydrogen-bonded linkage of the [Cr(NCS)4(NH3)2]− anions into supramolecular chains through bridging O atoms. A network of hydrogen bonds as well as short S...S contacts [3.5159 (12) and 3.4880 (12) Å] between the NCS groups of the complex anions link the molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
