Abstract top

In the title compound, [CuCl2(C14H12N4)2]·3.33H2O, the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two chelating 3-methyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ligands and two chloride anions in a distorted octahedral geometry with a CuN2N'2Cl2 chromophore. The Cu atom is located on an inversion center. Two uncoordinated water molecules lie on threefold rotation axes with disordered H atoms. Two hydrogen bonds are formed between the water molecules, and another between water and a chlorido ligand.

Comment top

The coordination chemistry of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives has attracted great attention in recent years (Bencini et al., 1987; Koningsbruggen et al., 1995; Moliner et al., 1998, 2001; Klingele & Brooker, 2003; Klingele et al., 2005). Some spin-crossover complexes of 1,2,4-triazoles with iron(II) salts have been reported, which could be used as molecular-based memory devices, displays and optical switches (Garcia et al., 1997; Lavrenova & Larionov, 1998; Kahn & Martinez, 1998; Koningsbruggen, 2004; Matouzenko et al., 2004). We have synthesized some new 3,4-disubstituted-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazoles and their transition-metal complexes (Wang et al., 2005; Zhou et al., 2006a,b). We report here the crystal structure analysis of the title compound, (I).

The structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. In the crystal structure, the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two chelating 3-methyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ligands and two chloride anions in a distorted octahedral geometry with a CuN2N'2Cl2 chromophore. Two hydrogen bonds are formed between the water molecules, and another involves the chloro ligand.

Experimental top

To a warm solution of 0.944 g 3-methyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (4.0 mmol) in 20 ml e thanol, 0.270 g copper(II) chloride (2.0 mmol) was added. The filtrate was left to stand at room temperature for several days, and blue single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were collected.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and allowed to ride on their parent atoms at distances of 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.96 Å (methyl) and 0.85 (water), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O). O2 and O3 lie on threefold rotation axes, and accordingly, their H atoms are disordered with a partial occupancy of 1/3 and U values in the range 0.64–0.85 Å2.

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.
