Syntheses, crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of bis-(2-mercaptobenzimidazole)-bromo- and iodo-copper(I) complexes.

ABSTRACT: The title complexes, bromidobis(2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3-benzodiazole-2-thi-one)copper(I), [CuBr(C₇H₆N₂S)₂] (1), and bis(2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3-benzodiazole-2-thione)iodidocopper(I) acetone monosolvate, [CuI(C₇H₆N₂S)₂]·CH₃COCH₃ (2), were prepared by the reaction of copper(I) bromide/iodide with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole. Both complexes have mononuclear structures with the copper atom coordinated by two 2-mercaptobenzimidazole mol-ecules via their S atoms and one halide atom in an approximate trigonal-planar arrangement. In their extended structures, N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds and π-π contacts are found in both complexes; as a result of the acetone solvent mol-ecule
