-1,1'-(butane-1,4-diyl)diimidazole-
2N3:N3']] dinitrate]In the title compound, {[Cu(C10H14N4)2(H2O)2](NO3)2}n, the CuII ion lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octahedral environment by four N atoms from four different 1,1'-butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole ligands and two O atoms from the two water molecules. Bridging by the ligands results in a ribbon structure. Adjacent ribbons are linked to the nitrate anions via O-H
O hydrogen bonds, forming layers. One nitrate O atom is disordered equally over two positions.
1,1'-Butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole was prepared from imidazole and 1,4-dibromobutane in DMSO (Ma et al., 2003). 1,1'-(1,4-Butanediyl)diimidazole (0.380 g, 2 mmol) and copper dinitrate (0.188 g, 2 mmol) were dissolved in hot methanol solution (15 ml) to give a clear solution was obtained. The resulting solution was allowed to stand in a desiccator at room temperature for several days. Blue crystals of (I) were obtained.
The O3 atom of the nitrate is refined with a split model over two positions, with occupancy of 0.5 for O3 and O3'. H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å (Caromatic); C—H = 0.97 Å (methylene) and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Water H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map, but they were treated as riding on their parent atoms with O—H = 0.85 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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 1,1'-butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole can be used as a flexible ligand to construct coordination polymeric compounds (Ma et al., 2003; Che et al., 2006). In this paper, we report the new title compound, (I), synthesized by the reaction of 1,1'-butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole ligands and copper dinitrate in methanol.
The CuII atom is located on an inversion centre and is hexacoordinated by four N atoms of four different 1,1'-butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole ligands and two O atoms of two water molecules (Fig. 1). Adjacent Cu(II) ions are linked by pairs of 1,1'-butane-1,4- diyldiimidazole molecules, resulting in a ribbon motif (Fig. 2).
In the crystal structure, uncoordinated nitrate anions link these ribbons into a layer structure via O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1,Figure 3).
