O)copper(II)]-bis(
-4-nitrophenylcyanamido-
2N1:N3)\]In the title compound, [Cu(C7H4N3O2)2(C3H7NO)], the CuII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, with the N atoms in equatorial positions and the dimethylformamide O atom in an axial position. The dihedral angle between adjacent benzene rings is 70.33 (12)°.
The 4-NO2-phenylcyanamide (Crutchley et al.,1989) (0.163 gr, 0.5 mmol) dissolved in methanol (30 ml) was added slowly to a solution of copper(II) acetate monohydrate (0.998 gr, 1 mmol) in methanol (30 ml). The mixture was stirred for 4 h. The solid filtered and crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination were obtained by dissolving in DMF then diffused by n-Hexane, after 1 week.
All of the H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic and aldehyde H atoms and with C—H = 0.93 Å for methyl H atoms, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Phenylcyanamide ligands are used in the construction of transition metal coordination complexes. The study of coordination polymeric materials holds great interest. The phenylcyanamide can function as bridging ligand and can coordinate to two different metallic centers by means of the nitrile and amine nitrogen (µ1,3 bonding mode), forming di- and polynuclear complexes (Brader et al., 1990; Crutchley et al., 2001; Ainscough et al., 1991; Escuer et al., 2004). It can modify the solubility and crystallinety of resulting compounds and there is the different coordination in complexes. We are attempting to construct conductive inorganic polymer chains that are cross-linked by cyanamide groups to a coordination complex. Coordination polymers also hold promise as novel materials because of their magnetic properties (Grosshenny et al., 1996). More recently various aromatic cyanamide complexes have been studied by x-ray crystallography.
In the molecule of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1) the selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 1. In this molecule, the {Cu(4—NO2-pcyd)2(DMF)}n one-dimensional chain coordination polymer bridged by 4-NO2-phenylcyanamide. Each copper atom has a distored square pyramidal geometry, that nitrogen atoms are in equatorial position and oxygen atom from DMF molecule is in axial position (Table 1.). The dihedral angle between adjacent phenyl rings in the polymeric chain is 70.33 (12)°.
