Oxidation of a tricoordinated CuI complex to a tetracoordinated CuII species. A single- EPR study

Bis(N-methylimidazolidinethi-2-one)copper(I) chloride has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined. X-Irradiation of a single crystal of this compound leads to the formation of a CuII complex which was studied by EPR: it was shown that this species results from the addition of a radiogenic Cl atom on the CuI precursor. The structural changes induced by this reaction are revealed by the g-tensor and by the hyperfine tensors of one copper and two chlorine nuclei. The structure of this S2Cl2Cu type complex was compared with other sulfur- or chlorine-containing CuII complexes.
