Abstract

The complexes [Cu(imH)5](AsF6)2·H2O and [Cu(imH)4Cl]Cl (imH = imidazole) were prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, magnetic moment measurements and X-ray crystallography. The complex cation in each species contains a five-coordinate copper atom with a distorted square-pyramidal geometry.
