Characterization of a Cu(II) complex of sulfadimethoxine

J Inorg Biochem. 2003 Feb 1;94(1-2):200-4. doi: 10.1016/s0162-0134(02)00632-3.

Abstract

The molecular structure of [Cu(sulfadimet)(2)].SO(CH(3))(2) (sulfadimet=sulfadimethoxine=4-p-aminobenzenesulfonamido-2,6-dimethoxypyrimidine) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with Z=4. The Cu(II) cation is in a distorted CuN(5) square pyramidal coordination, involving four sulfadimethoxine molecules, one of them acting as a bidentate ligand. The infrared spectrum is briefly discussed on the basis of the structural peculiarities of the complex.
