Synthesis and structure of CuII polypyridine complex with phenylcyanamide ligand

The new mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(phen)2(2,5Cl2 pcyd)][PF6] where phen=1,l0-phenanthroline and pcyd= monoanions of phenylcyanamide has beenprepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallized with a molecule of acetone with empirical formula of C31H20N6O F6Cl2PCu, in a triclinic crystal system and space group Pī with a= 9.2086(6)Ǻ, b= 13.3117(9)Ǻ, c =15.5313(10)Ǻ, β=104.6180(10)°, V=1643.21(19) Å3 and Z= 2. The structure was refined by using 7555 Mo Kα reflections with I > 2σ(I) and R1= 0.0276 and Rw = 0.0692.
