On the short carbonyl bond in bis[mu-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxido-kappa2N:O]bis[[1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxido-kappaN]bis(imidazole)copper(II)]

Abstract

The short carbonyl bond in the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(7)H(4)NO(3)S)(4)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(4)] [Liu, Huang, Li & Lin (1991). Acta Cryst. C47, 41-43], is an artifact of disorder in the isothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide part of the 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one entity. In the present redetermination, all bond dimensions in the centrosymmetric dinuclear molecule are normal. The five-coordinate Cu atom shows trigonal-bipyramidal coordination. Hydrogen bonds from the imidazole donor ligand link adjacent molecules into a two-dimensional layer structure.
