  The (ethylenediamine) dichlorocopper(II) complex, {[Cu(en)]Cl2}n(en:C2H8N2), was synthesized by hydrothermal technique. The X-ray structure of {[Cu(en)]Cl2}n shows that the compound crystallizes as a one dimensional chain with one chlorine that is non-bridging and the other chlorine which is triply bridging. It crystallizes at room temperature in the centrosymmetric space group P21/m. The structure of {Cu(en)Cl2}n was originally reported by Kumara et al. The surrounding copper is best described as distorted octahedral. The crystal structure was stabilized with an extensive network of N-H…Cl classical hydrogen bond interactions. The investigation on that close intermolecular interactions between the molecules via Hirshfeld surface analyses is presented to reveal subtle differences and similarities in the crystal structures. The decomposition of the fingerprint plot area provides.. Read More»
