N)[hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato-
3N,N',N'']copper(II)In the title copper complex, [CuBr(C15H22BN6)(C5H8N2)], the CuII atom is coordinated by one Br atom, three N atoms from the hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate ligand and one N atom from the 3,5-dimethylpyrazole ligand, forming a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The equatorial positions are occupied by the Br atom and the N atoms of the hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate ligand.
All chemicals purchased were of reagent grade or better and were used without further purification. A methanol solution of K[HB(C5H7N2)3] (2 mmol) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (1 mmol) was added to an methanol solution of CuBr (1 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 4 h at room temperature, yielding a blue solution. This was set aside to crystallize, yielding analytically pure (I) as single crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination. Yield: 0.494 g, ca 72% (based on Cu). Anal. Calcd for C20H30N8BBrCu (FW: 536.78): C 44.69, H 5.63, N 20.86%. Found: C 44.71, H 5.59, N 20.87.

Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.96, N—H = 0.86 and B—H = 0.98 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, B, N) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

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. |

Since Trofimenko discovered poly(pyrazolyl)borate (Trofimenko, 1972), these ligands have been proven to be extremely popular for coordination chemists in a wide range of applications because of their ease of synthesis, ease of functionalization, and the steric protection which they afford to transition metal centers. So poly(pyrazolyl)borate ligands have been used for a number of different purposes, including modeling of metalloprotein active site (Trofimenko, 1993, 2004), mimicking metalloenzyme systems in bioinorganic chemistry (Puerta & Cohen, 2002), polymerization catalysts (Blosch et al., 1991) and C—H activation (Ghosh et al., 1988; Fernandez et al., 1989). The donor N atoms of pyrazole (or modified pyrazole) and poly(pyrazolyl)borate can coordinate to metal atoms together to form half sandwich structure. Based on these findings, we attempted to determine the structure of the title complex, (I).
The structure of (I) shows a distorting trigonal bipyramidal geometry of CuII, which is coordinated to one Br atom and four N atoms: three from tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate ligand [Cu—N(N2, N4, N6)] with bond lengths of 2.019 (3), 2.035 (3), 2.176 (3) Å and one from 3,5-dimethylpyrazole ligand (Cu—N8) with the bond distance of 2.067 (4) Å. In the structure, the atoms Br, N2 and N6 are in the triangle plane, and N4 and N8 are at the axial positions. The copper atom is in the center of the triangle double pyramide geometry (Fig. 1). Selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 1. It can be found that the Cu—N distances (from tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand) are shorter than those of bis(hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) borato-κ3N,N',N'')copper(II) (Kitajima et al., 1988) [2.034 (13), 2.085 (12), 2.296 (12) Å], longer than those of chloro(hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-1-pyrazolyl) borato-κ3N,N',N'')copper(II) (Fujisawa et al., 2004) [2.125 (3), 2.005 (2), 1.961 (2) Å]. For the bond angles, the range of N—Cu—N (from tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand) in the title complex is from 85.28 (13) to 95.06 (13)°, but in bis(hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato-κ3N,N',N'')copper(II) (Kitajima et al., 1988) complex, the range of N—Cu—N (from tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand) is from 86.7 (4) to 88.1 (4)°.
