Synthesis and structure of a complex of copper(I) with l-cysteine and chloride ions containing Cu₁₂S₆ nanoclusters.

ABSTRACT: The title hydrated copper(I)-l-cysteine-chloride complex has a polymeric structure of composition {[Cu₁₆(CysH₂)₆Cl₁₆]·xH₂O} _n [CysH₂ = HO₂CCH(NH₃ ⁺)CH₂S^- or C₃H₇NO₂S], namely, poly[[tetra-μ₃-chlorido-deca-μ₂-chlorido-di-chlorido-hexa-kis-(μ₄-l-cysteinato)hexa-deca-copper] polyhydrate]. The copper atoms are linked by thiol-ate groups to form Cu₁₂S₆ nanoclusters that take the form of a tetra-kis cubocta-hedron, made up of a Cu₁₂ cubo-octa-hedral subunit that is augmented by six sulfur atoms that are located symmetrically atop of each of the Cu_4</
