Abstract

At ambient temperatures, in acetonitrile, S,S-diphenylsulfimide reacted with CuCl2 (molar ratio 2:1) to give trans-[CuCl2{N(H)SPh2}(2)]; depending upon the crystallisation technique this can be isolated as either blue (perfect square-planar geometry) or green (pseudo-tetrahedral) crystals which do not interconvert in the solid state.
