A heavy-walled Pyrex tube containing a mixture of CuCl2.2H2O (0.02 g), 5-Ethyl-2-(5-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)- nicotinic acid (0.03 g), 0.65 mol/l NaOH solution (0.3 ml) and H2O (2 ml) was frozen in liquid N2, sealed under vacuum and placed in an oven at 423 K. Blue single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were then obtained after heating for one month.
The water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and included in the 'as found' positions with with Uiso(H)= 1.5Ueq(O); All other H atoms were included in calculated positions and refined as riding (C—H= 0.93–0.98 Å; N—H = 0.86 Å), with Uiso(H)= 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl and 1.2 Ueq(C,N) for all other H atoms. Atoms C9 and C10 of the ethyl group are disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.503 (7) and 0.497 (7) for the major and minor components, respectively. Atoms C13, C14 and C15 of the isopropyl group are disordered, with the ratio between the major and minor components refining to 75 (3):25 (3).
The synthesis and characterization of binuclear copper(II) complexes has made an impact on bio-inorganic chemistry (Solomon et al., 1996). The exchange mechanism of bridged copper(II) complexes has been published (Johnson et al., 1984). An excellent treatise on the orbital interaction in metal dimer complexes was also published (Hoffman et al., 1975).
The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. The bridging Cu2Cl2 unit is exactly planar. The Cu1—Cl1 and Cu1—Cl1i [symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] distances are not equal [2.2301 (11) and 2.7249 (11) Å]. The distance between Cu and Cu1i is less than the value in di-u-chloro- bis{chloro[1,2-diphenyl-2-(phenylamino)ethanoximato]copper(II)} (Puschmann, Batsanov et al., 2001) [3.4275 (4) versus 3.5172 (4) Å] and is longer than that in di-[µ]-chloro-bis{chloro[1,2-diphenyl-2-(4-chlorophenylamino) ethanoximato]copper(II)} [3.3514 (3) Å] [Puschmann, Howard et al., 2001]. In the asymmetric unit, the dihedral angle between the plane of the pyridine ring and the imidazole group plane is 2.49 (4) °. In the crystal structure, there is a O4—H4B···O1ii [symmetry code: (ii) x, y, z + 1] hydrogen bond (H4B···O1 = 1.70 Å), which links molecules into chains in the c axis direction.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The synthesis and characterization of binuclear copper(II) complexes has made an impact on bio-inorganic chemistry (Solomon et al., 1996). The exchange mechanism of bridged copper(II) complexes has been published (Johnson et al., 1984). An excellent treatise on the orbital interaction in metal dimer complexes was also published (Hoffman et al., 1975).
The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. The bridging Cu2Cl2 unit is exactly planar. The Cu1—Cl1 and Cu1—Cl1i [symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] distances are not equal [2.2301 (11) and 2.7249 (11) Å]. The distance between Cu and Cu1i is less than the value in di-u-chloro- bis{chloro[1,2-diphenyl-2-(phenylamino)ethanoximato]copper(II)} (Puschmann, Batsanov et al., 2001) [3.4275 (4) versus 3.5172 (4) Å] and is longer than that in di-[µ]-chloro-bis{chloro[1,2-diphenyl-2-(4-chlorophenylamino) ethanoximato]copper(II)} [3.3514 (3) Å] [Puschmann, Howard et al., 2001]. In the asymmetric unit, the dihedral angle between the plane of the pyridine ring and the imidazole group plane is 2.49 (4) °. In the crystal structure, there is a O4—H4B···O1ii [symmetry code: (ii) x, y, z + 1] hydrogen bond (H4B···O1 = 1.70 Å), which links molecules into chains in the c axis direction.
