catena-Poly[[[bis(mu-4,5-dihydrothiazole-2-thiolato)-tetrahedro-tetracopper(I)]-di-mu-4,5-dihydrothiazole-2-thiolato] dihydrate].
The title compound, [[Cu(4)(C(3)H(4)NS(2))(4)] x 2H(2)O](n), was produced by diffusing a solution of 2-mercaptothiazoline in tetrahydrofuran into a solution of CuCl in CH(3)CN at room temperature. The structure is characterized by self-assembled one-dimensional chains that are condensed from butterfly-like [Cu(C(3)H(4)NS(2))](4) tetrameric units via double S-bridging at opposite ends. The Cu[bond]Cu distances within the Cu(4) butterfly cluster are in the range 2.7103 (10)-2.9764 (10) A, while the shortest Cu...Cu intercluster distance is 3.468 (1) A, much longer than the sum of the van der Waals radii.
