-bromido-(
-hydroxydi-2-pyridylmethanolato-
4N,O:O,N')dicopper(II)(Cu-Cu)]-di-
-bromido]The title complex, [Cu2Br3(C11H9N2O2)]n, was one of three isolated by slow evaporation of an acetonitrile reaction mixture of CuBr2 with di-2-pyridyl ketone (1:1 molar ratio). The title complex contains a 2:1 metal-to-ligand ratio of copper(II) with the hydrated form of the ligand, di-2-pyridylmethanediol. The two copper centers are bridged by a bromide ion and the alkoxy O atom, and the Cu-Cu distance is 2.9801 (5) Å. The dimeric units are further linked by bromide ions, leading to a two-dimensional extended bridged structure. O-H
O hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.
Di-2-pyridyl ketone (dpk) was purchased from Aldrich and used as received. Copper(II) bromide hexahydrate was dried in an oven at 110 C for 48 h before use. DPK (1 mmol) and copper(II) bromide (1 mmol) were combined in 40 ml of acetonitirle and stirred for 30 minutes. The resulting green crystals were isolated after 4 days by slow evaporation of the solution.
For structure solution, direct methods were used to locate the initial structural model that consisted of all non-hydrogen atoms. All ligand-based H atoms were added during the refinement stage at idealized positions (C—H 0.95 Å; O—H 0.84 Å). All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameter set equal to 1.5 times the isotropic equivalent value for the attached atom. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically.

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. |

The structure of the title compound, is shown below. The complex was one of three Cu-dpkoh complexes isolated from the 1:1 molar mixture of copper(II)bromide and di-2-pyridyl ketone. The title complex was the second isolated from solution. One other complex had been reported previously by Parker, et al., another unique complex is described elsewhere: Westcott, et al.(2008).
The complex contains two copper centers that are 2.9801 (5) Å apart and are bridged by the hydrated form of the ligand di-2-pyridylketone. Each copper center is also coordinated to the ligand through one unique nitrogen atom and a by a µ-hydroxyl bridge. Additionally, each Cu center coordinates one bromide ion. The bromide ion then acts as a bridging ligand to the next di-copper unit, leading to a polymeric structure as shown in Figure 2.
