-2,2'-[(3-azapentane-1,5-diyl)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}dicopper(II) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvateThe title compound, [Cu2(C18H19N3O2)2]·2C2H6OS or [Cu2(SalenN3H)2]·2DMSO, where SalenN3H is the multidentate Schiff base 2,2'-[(3-azapentane-1,5-diyl)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolate dianion and DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide, is a solvated dinuclear CuII complex. The neutral complex is built from two Cu(SalenN3H) units related by an inversion center. All heteroatoms in the Schiff bases coordinate the CuII ions, which display highly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries. The solvent molecules are located in the structural voids of the complex and are disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.642 (15) and 0.358 (15). The previously characterized acetone disolvate of the same complex presents identical molecular and crystal structures, and crystallizes with cell parameters very close to those of the DMSO disolvate reported here.
The title compound was prepared by direct synthesis, mixing equimolecular amounts (0.8 mmol) of elemental copper and neutral Schiff base SalenN3H3 in DMSO (2.4 ml). The mixture was heated at 353 K with magnetic stirring for 5.5 hrs, and then filtered. A crystalline compound, was collected after six days. Yield: 30%.
The asymmetric unit contains one DMSO molecule which is clearly disordered over two positions (Fig. 1, inset). S, O and C atoms were splitted over two sites. Refined occupancies converged to 0.642 (15) and 0.358 (15) for sites A and B, respectively. Geometry was regularized through restraints applied to bond lengths: S—O = 1.475 (20) and S—C = 1.750 (20) Å. Finally, sites in each pair of disordered atoms were restrained, with a standard deviation of 0.04 Å2, to have the same Uij components. All H atoms were placed in idealized positions, and were allowed to ride on their carrier atoms, with C—H bond lengths fixed to 0.93 (aromatic CH), 0.97 (methylene CH2) or 0.96 Å (methyl CH3), and N—H bond length fixed to 0.91 Å. Isotropic displacement parameters for H atoms were calculated as Uiso(H) = xUeq(carrier atom) where x = 1.5 for methyl groups and x = 1.2 otherwise.

The title compound was obtained during a general study about direct synthesis in coordination chemistry, i.e. effective synthesis of complexes using zero-valent metals, neutral ligands, and polar solvents as starting materials (Gutiérrez et al., 2001). We expect that new molecular arrangements, as well as new compounds including solvent molecules as ligands, may be achieved using such reactions (Reyes-Ortega et al., 2005). We are also interested in the influence of lattice solvents on magnetic properties of paramagnetic coordination compounds.
The title compound is a dinuclear centrosymmetric CuII complex, formed through coordination of two Schiff base dianions SalenN3H to two CuII ions; the complex is solvated by two DMSO molecules (Fig. 1). In the complex, all heteroatoms of the Schiff base ligands are coordinated to the metallic centers, which present a highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Atoms O1, O2 and N2 form the equatorial plane, while atoms N1 and N3 occupy apical positions, with an angle N1—Cu1—N3 = 176.4 (2)°. DMSO molecules are located in the structural voids of the complex (Fig. 2), and poorly interact with the Schiff bases, as reflected in the disorder found for this molecule (Fig. 1, inset).
The whole complex presents a rigid conformation, as ten coordination bonds are formed. It may thus be expected to be a good candidate for hosting small solvent molecules with a steric volume similar to that of DMSO. This hypothesis is, at least partially, confirmed by the previous X-ray characterization of the acetone disolvate of the same complex (McKenzie & Selvey, 1985). This compound crystallizes in the same space group, with cell parameters very close to those of the title disolvate. The complex conformation is identical, regardless of the solvent inserted in voids. For example, the non-bonding Cu···Cu separation is virtually not modified: 5.7716 (18) Å in the DMSO disolvate, vs. 5.809 Å in the acetone disolvate.
