Four crystalline copper(I) complexes with N-derivatives of propanenitrile: [{C3H5NH(H+)C2H4CN}Cu2Br3] (I), [{(C3H5)2N(H+)C2H4CN}CuCl1.94Br0.06] (II), [{HOC2H4NH(H+)C2H4CN}CuCl2] (III) and [{HOC2H4(C3H5)N(H+)C2H4CN}CuCl2] (IV), have been obtained (by the alternating current electrochemical technique from alcohol solutions of the organic ligand and CuCl2∙2H2O or CuBr2) and investigated by X-ray diffraction. Crystals of compound I are triclinic, space group P-1, Z = 2, a = 6.5520(7), b = 7.8642(8), c = 11.2370(12) Å, α = 90.694(6), β = 94.427(6), γ = 93.690(6, V = 575.99(10) Å3. Crystals of compounds II-IV are monoclinic. For II and IV the space group is P21/c, Z = 4. For II: a = 11.6518(4), b = 7.0086(2), c = 14.6765(5) Å, β = 100.965(13)°, V = 1176.64(7) Å3; IV: a = 11.001(3), b = 7.017(2), c = 14.653(4) Å, β = 97.19(3)°, V = 1122.2(5) Å3. For III the space group is P2/c, Z = 4, a = 7.452(2), b = 7.642(2), c = 15.867(5) Å, β = 95.43(3, V = 899.5(4) Å3. The structures of the coordination compounds I-IV possess distinct polymer anionic chains (CuX2)nn- or (Ñu2X3) nn- (X = Cl, Br), which are joined together by organic cations (H+L) (I) or surrounded by them (I²-²V). Hydrogen bonding play a significant role in the stabilization of the structures.
