These complexes have been characterized on the basis of analytical, IR, electronic (UVvis), ‘H NMR, conductivity and magnetic measurements. In all cases there is a distorted tetrahedral environment around copper(I), and the ligands (LH) bind through the thione sulphur atom to copper(I).
The application of heterocyclic thioamides in and the biological imcorrosion protection’ portance of copper-sulphur interactions’.3 have stimulated much of the research efforts exemplified by reports on the ligating behaviour of heterocyclic thiones.“16 Moreover, the copper(I) complexes may adopt di-, ” tri-, ’ 8 tetra-2*’’ and penta-coordination,2o which basically depends upon the bulk as well as the electronic properties of the ligands. This has stimulated many workers to study the ligating behaviour of heterocyclic thiones, possessing an a-nitrogen heteroatom. Specifically, in this field of research the group of Karagiannidis has characterized structurally a number of mixed-ligand coordination compounds of copper(I) with heterocyclic thiones, possessing an m-nitrogen heteroatom and triaryl-phosphines7-‘4 and -arsines. ‘5,‘6 The properties of triphenylphosphine, heterocyclic thione mixed-ligand complexes are fairly well known, but their arsine, stibine and bismuthine analogues are not well studied.

have recently reported the phosphine counterpart6 of the complexes. For the sake of comparison and in view of the unique properties of copper coordinated triphenylarsine,24~25 we describe the syntheses and characterization of novel copper(I) distorted tetrahedral complexes, [Cu(AsPh,),(LH)X], with the title ligands, which behave as monodentate thione sulphur donors. EXPERIMENTAL Starting materials
All the chemicals used were either of Analar or chemically pure grade. Complexes of the type [Cu(AsPh3)3X],26 (X = Cl, Br or I) and the ligands 3-phenyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one6 (ptiH) and 5mercapto- 1-phenyl- 1,2,3,4-tetrazole6 (mptH) were prepared by literature methods. Physical methods
Snlphur, halide and copper were determined gravimetrically. The carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen analyses were performed at the Microanalytical

Laboratory, I.I.T. Kanpur, India. The IR spectra were recorded in KBr in the range 400&400 cm- I on Perkin-Elmer and Shimadzu IR-420 spectrophotometers. The electronic (UV-vis) spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu double beam W-160 spectrophotometer. The’ ‘H NMR spectra were recorded on a JEOL JN -PMX 60 SI NMR spectrometer in the range d-20 ppm in CDCl, using TMS as an internal calibrant at room temperature. Conductivity measurements were performed on an Elico conductivity bridge type CM 82T in acetonitrile solution. Magne ’ measurements were performed using a parallel- eld vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), mod % -150A (Princeton Applied Research Corporation, ~Princeton, NJ). Melting points of the complexes were recorded on a FisherJohn melting point apparatus and are uncorrected.

zene solution (30 cm’) of [Cu(AsPh,),X] (0.2 mmol) was added an equivalent amount (0.2 mmol) of the ligand mptH and the resulting clear solution was stirred for cu 3 h. During the stirring some crystals of the complex were separated. The volume of the reaction mixture was reduced to ca 5 cm3 under vacuum and excess petroleum ether (60-8OC) (50 cm3) was added to ensure the maximum precipitation of the complexes. These complexes were centrifuged and washed several times with petroleum ether and dried in vucuo. All these compounds are stable in air for several days but a few complexes are susceptible to air oxidation when left in air for more than a week. The air-oxidized products were not further studied. Melting points, yields and colours of the complexes are given in Table 1 along with the analytical data.

During refluxing t almost clear. After cooli g, the solution was filtered through a Whatman N . 1 filter paper to remove any insoluble particles. t he resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to half its volume. The addition of petroleum ether (6&8O”C) (50 cm3) resulted in the brecipitation of the microcrystalline products on s anding for 2-3 h.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The analytical data are in good agreement with the stoichiometry proposed as [Cu(AsPh,),(LH)X] (Table 1). These compounds are soluble in most of the organic solvents like CsH6, CHC13, CH2C12, DMSO, DMF, CH,CN, etc. All the compounds are diamagnetic at room temperature. The conductivity of the complexes was found in the range 50-65 R- ’ cm2 mol- ’ in acetonitrile and, consequently, were interpreted according to Geary27 as being nonelectrolytes. The IR spectra of the ligands and complexes are summarized in Table 2. All the ligands adopt the thione form both in the free state and in their complexes. This is evident by the absence of the v(SH) band in the 2500 cm-’ region in each, and by

The discernible v(N-H) bands of the ligand mptH (Table 2) shift a little on complexation, indicating the non-involvement of the (H-I&--&S) and give rise to four characteristic thioaxnide bands, namely, I, II, III and IV, N-H group in the coordination. Bonding via sulphur is also favoured in the comin the regions 1500, 1300, 1000 and 800 cm-’ and have contributions from &N-H)+ v(C---N), plexes because copper(I), being a soft acid, should prefer to interact with a soft base such as sulphur v(W) -I-v(C=N) + v(C-H), v(C-N) + v(C-S) and v(C-S) modes of vibrations, respectiveIy6~2p-31and, indeed, the presence of a sulphur--copper(I) bond was confirmed by X-ray single-crystal struc(Table 2). All complexes exhibited the characteristic bands ture of many complexes having a heterocyclic of t~phenylarsine. 32In the case of coordination of thione ligand possessing an ol-nitrogen heterothe ligand with a carbonyl group, namely ptiH, atom . 7-16*34Very recently the mixed-ligand coordination compounds of copper(I) with heterocyclic through the carbonyl oxygen atom the v(C=O) band should shift to a lower wave number and the thiones and triphenylarsine’ ’ have been synthesized thioamide band I [&N-H) + v(C-N)] should shift and their X-ray crystal structural characterization to a higher wave number. However, if coordination is through the nitrogen atom the thioamide band I I ’ I ’ will shift to a lower wave number. However, the position of the band at ca 1770 cm-“, assigned to v(C=O), remains almost unaffected or slightly shifts to the higher wave number (cu Av = 1-6 cm-‘) in the complexes, ruling out coordination through the carbonyl group. The band at cla 1165 cm- ‘, assigned to v(C=S) in the spectra of the ligand ptiH, either splits or shifts to a lower wave number (ca Av = 10-15 cm- ‘) on coordination. The thioa~de band IV, which contains a major contribution from v(C!=S), splits or shifts to the lower region by cu Av = 41-42 cm-‘, which indicates the involvement of the C&S group in the coordination (Fig. 1). On complexation v(C=S) of the l&and mptH (Fig. 2) at 1050 cm-’ splits. The thioamide band I at 1492 cm- ’ undergoes a blue shift by 3-16 cm- I. The thioamide band IV at 793 cn- ’ undergoes a red shift (lit.33 value 785 cm-‘). These observations support the bond formation between the metal and thione sulphur. +i7 (cm-‘) The band at 3 180 cm- ‘, assigned to v(N-H), for Fig. 1.

proton of the complexes appeared as a broad signal. The broadening of the signals may be due to hydrogen bonding. 8,I5,’6 The 6 values become lower as the halogen atomic radius increases (10.27 and 9.47 in the bromine and iodine complexes of the ligand ptiH, respectively). l6 The proportions of the protons, observed by integration, exactly match the proposed stoichiometry of the complexes.
