(Received 17 January 2008; accepted 23 January 2008; online 30 January 2008)

In the title compound, [Cu(C2H3O2)2(C6H16N2)], the CuII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from the chelating N,N,N′,N′-tetra­methyl­ethane-1,2-diamine ligand and two O atoms from two acetate anions in a distorted square-planar geometry. In addition, there are longer contacts between Cu and the second O atom of each acetate ligand, which could be considered to complete a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The mol­ecules in the crystal structure are connected via inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding contacts.

Comment top

The aspiration of our work is to gain insight into the underlying mechanisms of the catalytic transformations of hydrocarbons by C—H bond activation (Slootweg & Chen, 2006; Gerdes & Chen, 2004) and subsequent oxidative coupling using heterobimetallic catalysis (Gerdes, 2004). Well defined platinum or palladium catalysts are suited for the C—H activation, whearas a copper-catalyzed coupling cycle is ideal for the C—X bond forming step. The intersection of the two cycles, that is transmetallation of the hydrocarbon group from platinum/palladium to copper, is poorly understood while being decisive for the outcome of the reaction. To connect two different catalyticallly active metal fragments, bridging acetate ligands are ideally suited (Gerdes, 2004) and therefore deserve our current attention. The title complex, [(TMEDA)Cu(OAc)2] (TMEDA = tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine), is a promising building block for the generation of the mixed [(TMEDA)Cu(κ1-acetate)(µ-acetate)MLn] complexes.

In the mononuclear title complex, the copper(II) atom is in a distorted, square-planar coordination geometry (Fig. 1, Table 1) and bonded to the bidentate tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine ligand [Cu—N 2.037 (2), 2.047 (2) Å] and to the two acetate anions (Dalai et al., 2002; Margraf et al., 2005). The acetato groups in [(TMEDA)Cu(OAc)2] are mono-coordinating [Cu—O 1.979 (2), 1.9810 (19) Å] (Devereux et al., 2007), but the second oxygen atom of each ligand shows an additional weak interaction with the copper atom [Cu—O 2.509 (2), 2.531 (2) Å], and could be considered to complete a distorted octahedral geometry (Dalai et al., 2002). A similar situation is observed for the zinc analogue, [(TMEDA)Zn(OAc)2], which displays more pronounced κ2-coordination of the acetates [Zn—O 2.052 (2), 2.353 (4) Å] (Brown et al., 2002).

The molecules in the crystal are connected via hydrogen bonding. There are four short intermolecular C—H···O contacts with O···H distances between 2.34 and 2.58 Å and C—H···O angles between 160 and 176° (Table 2).

Experimental top

General Procedures. ESI-MS measurements were performed on a Finnigan MAT TSQ Quantum triple-quad mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray sources. Elemental analyses were performed by the Microanalytical Laboratory of the Laboratorium für Organische Chemie, ETH Zürich.

The title compound was obtained as follows. To a suspension of copper(II)acetate (1.78 g, 9.78 mmol) in MeOH (40 ml) an equimolar amount of TMEDA (1.48 ml, 9.78 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 18 h at room temperature yielding a deep blue solution. After filtration, the solvent was removed in vacuo yielding analytically pure [(TMEDA)Cu(OAc)2] (2.64 g, 91%) as a blue powder. Crystallization from THF at room temperature yielded blue plates suitable for X-ray crystallography. M.p. 178 °C (decomp.). MS (ESI, positive ions, DCM) m/z (%): 238 (100) [M - O2CCH3]+. Elem. anal.: Found C, 40.18; H, 7.15; N, 9.41. Calcd. for C10H22N2O4Cu: C, 40.33; H, 7.44; N, 9.41.

Refinement top

The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares analysis using an isotropic extinction correction. All non H-atoms were refined anisotropically, H-atoms isotropically, whereby H-positions are based on stereochemical considerations. For CH3 groups, C—H distances are 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5U(eq) on the respective C-atom, while for CH2 groups, the corresponding values are 0.98 Å and 1.2U(eq), respectively.

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.
