Abstract: The use of 1-{[dimethyl(phenylthiomethyl)silyl]methyl}piperidine piperidine as chelating ligand has been probed by complexation on CuI and CuBr in MeCN solution to afford the dinuclear S , N -chelate title complexes, [Cu 2 I 2 (C 15 H 25 NSSi) 2 ] and [Cu 2 Br 2 (C 15 H 25 NSSi) 2 ], which feature a halide-bridged rhomboid-shaped Cu(μ 2 - X )Cu ( X = I, Br) core with Cu...Cu contacts of 2.8249 (5) and 2.7631 (6) Å, respectively. The two isostructural complexes crystalize in the triclinic space group P 1 with half molecule in the asymmetric unit. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces shows that H...H (van der Waals) interactions dominate with a contact percentage of over 80% in both complexes.
