Abstract
Crystals of the complex [Cu(NCO)2(C6Hi2N4)2] could be obtained by reaction of copper- (II)nitrate, hexamethylenetetramine, and KNCO in CHCI3 as a solvent. The crystals are triclinic, space group Cl, Z = 4, a = 1373.1(9), b = 2083.1(9), c = 642.6(3) pm, a = 91.05(4), β = 90.54(6), y = 107.39(6)°. The copper atom is bonded to two terminal cyanato groups via the nitrogen atoms, and to two liexamethylentetramine molecules. In the solid state the coordination of the copper atom is, however, tetragonal pyramidal, because there is an additional, rather long bond to one of the hexamethylenetetramine molecules of the neighbouring complex unit, resulting in the formation of chains
