TLDR
The tetrachlorocuprate(II) ion can crystallize in two different structures with the piperazinium dication (pipzH(2), which shows thermo/photochromism, changing from green to yellow upon heating or laser irradiation.
Abstract
The tetrachlorocuprate(II) ion can crystallize in two different structures with the piperazinium dication (pipzH(2)). Both structures contain discrete CuCl42- species. A yellow compound (pipzH(2))[CuCl4]. 2H(2)O (1) is monoclinic (C2/c, Z = 4, a = 10.538(3) Angstrom, b = 7.4312(5) Angstrom, c = 17.281(4) Angstrom, beta = 111.900(10)degrees) and contains the CuCl42- ion as a distorted tetrahedron. A green compound (pipzH(2))(2)[CuCl4]. Cl-2. 3H(2)O (2) is triclinic (P (1) over bar, Z = 2, a = 9.264(3) Angstrom, b = 10.447(2) Angstrom, c = 11.366(2) Angstrom, alpha = 68.38 degrees, beta = 82.86(2)degrees, gamma = 83.05(2)degrees) and contains the CuCl42- ion with a square planar geometry. This latter compound shows thermo/photochromism, changing from green to yellow upon heating or laser irradiation.
