Diaqua(5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylato)(4-nitrobenzoato)copper(II)
In the title complex, [Cu(C7H4NO4)(C5H5N2O2)(H2O)2], the CuII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal enviroment. The basal plane is formed by an N atom and an O atom from a 5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate ligand and by two O atoms from two water ligands. The apical position is occupied by a carboxylate O atom from a 4-nitrobenzoate ligand. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H
O and N-H
O hydrogen bonds link complex moleclues, forming extended chains parallel to the a axis.
5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid,4-nitrobenzoic acid and
CuCl2.6H2O were available commercially and were used without further
purification. Equimolar amounts of 5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic
acid (0.5 mmol, 63.02 mg) and 4-nitrobenzoic acid (0.5 mmol, 83.51 mg) were
dissolved in anhydrous alcohol (15 ml). The mixture was stirred to give a
clear solution, to this solution was added CuCl2.6H2O (0.5 mmol, 113 mg)
in anhydrous alcohol (10 ml). After keeping the resulting solution in air to
evaporate about half of the solvents, blue prisms of the title compound were
formed. The crystals were isolated, washed with alcohol three times and dried
in a vacuum desiccator using silica gel (Yield 75%). Elemental analysis:
found: C, 36.82; H, 3.38; N, 10.65%. calc. for C12H13CuN3O8: C, 36.88;
H, 3.35; N, 10.75%.
H atoms attached to C amd N atoms were positioned geometrically and refined
using a riding-model approximation with C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å; N-H = 0.86Å
and Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C, N).
The water H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and included
in 'as found' positions in a riding-model approximation with
Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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. |

The chemical and pharmacological properties of pyrazoles have been investigated extensively, owing to their chelating ability with metal ions and their potentially beneficial chemical and biological activities (Montoya et al., 2007.) As part of our studies on the synthesis and characterization of these types of compounds, we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (I).
The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The Cu atom is five-coordinated by four O atoms and one N atom. The basal plane is formed by an N atom and an O atom from a 5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylato ligand and two O atoms from coordinated water molecules. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2) link complex molecules, to form extended chains parallel to the a axis. The coordinated water molecules act as hydrogen donors for symmetry related carboxyl O atoms (see Table 2). In addition, the crystal structure contains various π-π stacking interactions involving the C7-C12, N1/N2/C2-C4 and Cu1/O1/C1/C2/N1 rings with a range of centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.265 (1)-3.849 (1)Å (see Fig. 3).
