✦ Synopsis

The preparation and the crystal and molecular structure of dichloro(P_thiodiglycol)copper(II) are reported. The structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction studies and refined by least-squares methods to R = 0.034 for I1 11 reflections measured. The compound is orthorhombic, space group P212121. The cell dimensions are a = 10.036(3), b = 12.882(3), c = 6.696(2) I%, V = 865.7 A3, d, = 1.968 and d, = 1.96 g cmS3, Z = 4. &Thiodiglycol behaves as a terdentate ligand through bonding of two oxygens and a sulphur atom to copper (Ct-01 2.429(4), Cu-02 2.024(4), CL-S 2.322(2) A). The tetragonal pyramidal geometry (distorted towards trtgonal bipyramidal) around copper is completed by the bonding of two chlorine atoms (Ci-Cll2.259(2), &-Cl2 2.258(I) K).
