-2,8-Dimethyl-1,4,5,6,7,10,11,12-octahydrodiimidazo[4,5-h;4',5'-c][1,6]diazecine-5,11-diacetato]bis[diaquanitratocopper(II)] trihydrateThe title compound, [Cu2(C16H20N6O4)(NO3)2(H2O)4]·3H2O, crystallizes with two dinuclear CuII complex molecules, each lying on an inversion center, and six solvent water molecules per unit cell. The central 1,6-diazecine ring adopts the common chair conformation invariably found in the family of complexes bearing such ligands. The CuII atoms have an octahedral geometry, with a very strong tetragonal distortion due to the Jahn-Teller effect. Axial sites are occupied by a nitrate ion and a water molecule. The Cu
Cu separations [7.3580 (9) and 7.3341 (9) Å] are compatible with a potential catecholase activity. Neighboring molecules in the crystal structure are connected via O-H
O hydrogen bonds formed by water molecules and carboxylate O atoms. N-H
O hydrogen bonds are also present.
The diazecine derivative was prepared as described previously (Mendoza-Díaz et al., 2002). To prepare the title compound, Cu(NO3)2.2.5H2O (0.232 g, 1 mmol) were dissolved in 20 ml of water, and an aqueous solution containing the ligand (0.251 g, 0.5 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring. The final pH was 2, at which the solution was left to stand. Blue crystals were collected after two days. Analysis, calculated for C16H34Cu2N8O17: C 26.05, H 4.61, N 15.20%; found: C 26.67, H 4.55, N 15.55%.
Water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.85 (1) and H···H = 1.34 (1) Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with N—H = 0.86 and C—H = 0.96 (CH3) and 0.97 Å (CH2), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Several dinucleating ligands containing imidazole and amines condensed via the Mannich reaction have been recently described, as well as their dicopper complexes (Driessen et al., 2005; Gasque et al., 2005; Mendoza-Díaz et al., 2002; Sosa et al., 2005), which exhibit interesting magnetic properties and a significant catecholase activity (Gasque et al., 2008). The complex presented here is an analogue of the first dicopper complex of this family reported (Mendoza-Díaz et al., 2002), in which perchlorate ion has been substituted by nitrate. As nitrate ions have a stronger ability to coordinate metal ions, the present complex is found to have six-coordinated CuII centers, while perchlorate ions afforded a cationic complex including five-coordinated metal centers.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound is formed by two half-complexes, placed close to inversion centers, and three lattice water molecules, lying on general positions. The triclinic unit cell thus contains two dinuclar centrosymmetric complexes (Figs. 1 and 2), which have similar structures. The bis(aminoimidazole) ligand coordinates two CuII atoms, via imidazole and tertiary N atoms, and one carboxylate O atom. Each CuII atom completes its coordination environment with two water molecules and one monodentate nitrate ion. The resulting coordination geometry is octahedral, with a very strong distortion due to the Jahn-Teller effect: Cu—O axial bond lengths are in the range of 2.4221 (19)–2.607 (2) Å, while the longest equatorial bond measures 2.0690 (17) Å (Table 1). The central 1,6-diazecine 10-membered ring displays a chair conformation, with a total puckering amplitude of 1.441 (2) and 1.434 (2) Å for Cu1- and Cu2-complex, respectively. The Cu···Cu separations, 7.3580 (9) and 7.3341 (9) Å, are probably compatible with a catecholase activity for this molecular compound (Gasque et al., 2008).
Lattice water molecules are active into forming a number of rather strong hydrogen bonds (Table 2), connecting neighboring molecules in the crystal. Strongest hydrogen bonds involve all water molecules, as both donor and acceptor, and carboxylate O atoms as acceptor groups (Fig. 3).
