Di-[mu]-bromido-bis[bromido(di-2-pyridylmethanediol-[kappa]2N,N')copper(II)] dihydrate

B. L. Westcott, K. M. Kopp-Vaughn, L. M. Daniels and M. Zeller

Abstract top

The centrosymmetric title complex, [Cu2Br4(C11H10N2O2)2]·2H2O, was one of three complexes 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 1:1 metal-to-ligand ratio of copper(II) with the hydrated form of the ligand di-2-pyridylmethanediol. The copper centers are bridged by bromide donors, leading to a Cu-Cu distance of 4.090 (6) Å. The crystals form as non-merohedral twins with two components related by a 180° rotation around the normal to [100]; the selected sample had a twin ratio of 0.63:0.37.

Comment top

The title compound was one of three Cu–dpkoh complexes isolated from the 1:1 molar mixture of copper(II)bromide and di-2-pyridyl ketone, and was the third isolated from solution. The remaining two strutcures are described in Parker et al. (2000) and Zeller et al. (2008).

Related literature top

Apart from the title complex, two others were isolated from the reaction mixture and structurally characterized. One complex was reported previously by Parker et al. (2000), the other is reported by Zeller et al. (2008). For other related structures, see: Wang et al. (1986); Mariezcurrena et al. (1999).

Experimental top

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 acetonitrile and stirred for 30 minutes. The resulting olive crystals were isolated after 5 days by slow evaporation of the solution. Prior to harvesting these crystals, crystals of two other distinct complexes were removed by gravity filtration.

Refinement top

The crystals form as non-merohedral twins. All reflections for both domains (44628 total) were integrated with the Rigaku TwinSolve program, to produce 3540 reflections for component 1 only, 3645 for component 2 only, and 815 containing contributions from both components (including systematic absences). The two twin components are related by a 180° rotation around the normal to [1 0 0], given by the matrix (1 0 0.549, 0 - 1 0, 0 0 - 1)

The positions of H atoms bonded to O were allowed to refine with isotropic displacement parameter set equal to the isotropic equivalent value for the attached atom. A mild restraint was applied to the two ligand O—H distances (0.84 Å). Other H atoms were used in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) with isotropic displacement parameter set equal to 1.2 times the the isotropic equivalent value for the attached atom.

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.
