Tetra-[mu]-acetato-bis{[2-(chloromethyl)pyridine]copper(II)}

Abstract top

The molecule of the title compound, [Cu2(C2H3O2)4(C6H6ClN)2], lies on an inversion center and the Cu atom has a square-pyramidal CuO4N geometry. The four acetate groups act as bridging ligands.

Comment top

The acetate anion is an useful ligand and a large number of multi-atom bridge complexes have been synthesized with it as a bridging ligand (Panagiotopoulos et al. 1995; Taft et al. 1993; Tangoulis, Raptopolou, Paschalidou et al. 1997; Tangoulis, Raptopolou, Terzis et al., 1997; Tong, et al. 2000). We had intended to synthesize a multi-nuclear CuII complex by using acetate and 2-chloromethylpyridine as ligands, but the title dinuclear complex was obtained.

Two copper atoms are briged by four acetate groups; the copper atoms are also coordinated by the heterocycle so that the geometry at copper is a square pyramid. The bond dimensions are similar to those in other binculear copper systems (Moreland & Doedens, 1978)..

(1993); Tangoulis, Raptopolou, Paschalidou et al. 1997; Tangoulis, Raptopolou, Terzis et al., 1997; Tong et al. (2000). For other dinuclear copper compounds, see: Moreland & Doedens (1978).

Experimental top

Cu(OOCCH3)2.H2O (0.133 g, 0.664 mmol) and ethanolamine (0.041 g, 0.676 mmol) were dissoved in 8 ml of water; the solution was added into an 8 ml me thanol solution containing 2-chloromethylpyridine (0.170 g, 1.33 mmol). Green crystals were obtained after allowing the mixed solution to stand at room temperature for one week.

Refinement top

The H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for pyridine ring; C—H = 0.96 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl group, and C—H = 0.97 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for the chloromethyl group.

Special details top

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.
