SINGLE-CRYSTAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE COPPER-ACETATE DIMERS CU-2(CH3COO)(4)CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O AND CU-2(CH3COO)(4)PZ

The morphology or. two forms of copper acetate, Cu-2(CH3COOH)(4) . 2H( 2)O (CuOAcH2O) grown from an acetic acid-ethanol solution and Cu-2(CH3 COOH)(4)pz (CuOAcpz) grown from aqueous solution, has been determined. The principal faces of CuOAcH2O are (10 $$($) over bar 1), (01 $$($) over bar 1), (2 ($) over bar 1 ($) over bar 1), (110), and (1 ($) over bar 1 ($) over bar 2); those for CuOAcpz are (010), (($) over bar 111 ), (11 ($) over bar 1), and (($) over bar 11 ($) over bar 1).
