In the title compound, [CuBr2(C5H6N2)4], the CuII cation is located on a crystallographic centre of symmetry and coordinated by four N atoms from four 1-vinyl­imidazole ligands and two trans coordinated Br anions in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, intra- and inter­molecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds form three-dimensional hydrogen-bond networks which stabilize the structure.

Comment top

In the title compound,(I), The CuII cation is coordinated by four N atoms from four 1-vinylimidazole ligand and two trans coordinated Br- anions in a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). The equatorial planes are formed by four Cu—N(1-vinylimadazole) bonds [Cu—N2 = 2.007 (6) Å, Cu—N4 = 2.029 (6) Å] and the axial positions are occupied by two Br- ions [Cu—Br = 3.0340 (11) Å]. The Cu—N bond lengths agree well with those observed in [Cu(imidazole)Br2] (Parker & Breneman, 1995), but the Cu—Br bond length is shorter than that in [Cu(imidazole)Br2]. In the crystal, the intramolecular and intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds form three-dimensional hydrogen bond networks to stabilize the structure.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by the reaction of 1-vinylimidazole (0.47 g, 5 mmol) with CuBr2 (0.72 g, 5 mmol) by means of hydrothermal synthesis in a stainless-steel reactor with a Teflon liner at 383 K for 24 h. Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol at room temperature.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Ueq(C).

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.
