Investigation of copper halide:: Hydrothermal syntheses and characterization of CuBr2(C12H8N2) and Cu3Br3(C12H8N2)2

The reaction of CuBr2 with 1, 10-phen-H2O (1, 10-phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline) gave two compounds: CuBr2(C12H8N2) Cu3Br3(C12H8N2)(2). Their Structures have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and measurement of variable tem. perature magnetic susceptibility. Crystal data for CuBr2 (C-12-H8N2): monodinic, space group P2(1) / n, a = 0.9977(3) nm, b = 0.65138(14) mn, c = 1.8207 (4) mn, beta = 91.624 (18)degrees, V = 1.1828(5) mm(3), Z = 2. Crystal data for Cu3Br3 (C12H8N2)(2): monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 1.00167(11) nm, b = 1.4523(4) run, c = 1.6295(3) nm, P = 94-386(14)degrees, V = 2.3635(8) mm(3), Z = 3.
