N1-benzyl-N2-(2-(benzylamino)ethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (4 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (20 ml), and an aqueous solution (10 ml) of cupric chloride (2 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred 4 h at 323–333k. The solution was then cooled slowly to room temperature and filtered. Blue crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by evaporation of an ethanol solution.
The space group was uniquely assigned from the systematic absences. All H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps. H atoms bonded to C and N atoms were treated as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å (aryl), 0.97 Å(methylene) and N—H distances of 0.91 Å (amine), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) (aryl, methylene, amine).
Dinuclear copper(II) complexes, especially those containing a chlorine bridging ligand, have been the subject of extensive reseach because of their magnetic exchange interactions between ligand-bridged copper atoms, which mimic the biological active site in copper proteins (Lee et al., 2005; Rapheal et al., 2007). In the classical case, the copper atom is five coordinate and bridged by a monochlorine atom or eventually two chlorine atoms, depending on the coordination environment. Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a new monochlorine bridged dicopper(II) complex, [Cu2 Cl3 (C18 H25 N3)2]+.Cl- (I).
In complex (I), the copper atom is five coordinated by one tridentate chelating (N-benzyl-N'-[2-(benzylamino)ethyl)]ethane-1,2-diamine) ligand and two chloride atoms, to form a distorted square pyramid geometry (Fig. 1). Three N atoms of the ligand and a monodentate chlorine are at the basal square plane, while the bridging chlorine atom is at the apical position. The Cu1 atom is shifted by 0.202 (3)Å from the basal plane towards the apical site. The dihedral angles between the basal plane and the C6—C11 (Cg1) and C13—C18 (Cg2) phenyl rings are 48.9 (3)° and 62.1 (3)°, respectively. Coordination distances are shown in Table 1. The Cu···Cu separation is 4.349 (6) Å, and the Cu—Cl—Cu angle is 109.8 (2)°.
In the crystal structure, C—H···π hydrogen bonds link the molecules into two types of chains running along b and a respectively (Fig. 2 and 3, Table 2). The chloride anion,, which also resides on a two fold axis, in turn, link these chains along the c direction (Fig. 4, Table 2), into a three-dimensinal network structure.

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. |

Dinuclear copper(II) complexes, especially those containing a chlorine bridging ligand, have been the subject of extensive reseach because of their magnetic exchange interactions between ligand-bridged copper atoms, which mimic the biological active site in copper proteins (Lee et al., 2005; Rapheal et al., 2007). In the classical case, the copper atom is five coordinate and bridged by a monochlorine atom or eventually two chlorine atoms, depending on the coordination environment. Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a new monochlorine bridged dicopper(II) complex, [Cu2 Cl3 (C18 H25 N3)2]+.Cl- (I).
In complex (I), the copper atom is five coordinated by one tridentate chelating (N-benzyl-N'-[2-(benzylamino)ethyl)]ethane-1,2-diamine) ligand and two chloride atoms, to form a distorted square pyramid geometry (Fig. 1). Three N atoms of the ligand and a monodentate chlorine are at the basal square plane, while the bridging chlorine atom is at the apical position. The Cu1 atom is shifted by 0.202 (3)Å from the basal plane towards the apical site. The dihedral angles between the basal plane and the C6—C11 (Cg1) and C13—C18 (Cg2) phenyl rings are 48.9 (3)° and 62.1 (3)°, respectively. Coordination distances are shown in Table 1. The Cu···Cu separation is 4.349 (6) Å, and the Cu—Cl—Cu angle is 109.8 (2)°.
In the crystal structure, C—H···π hydrogen bonds link the molecules into two types of chains running along b and a respectively (Fig. 2 and 3, Table 2). The chloride anion,, which also resides on a two fold axis, in turn, link these chains along the c direction (Fig. 4, Table 2), into a three-dimensinal network structure.
