Abstract top

In the title centrosymmetric mononuclear copper(II) compound, [Cu(C14H9O3)2(C7H6N2)2], the central CuII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry-related benzimidazole (bim) ligands and two O atoms from two symmetry-related 2-benzoylbenzoate (2-byba) ligands in a square-planar geometry. The molecules are linked into chains running along the b axis by N-H...O hydrogen bonds and the chains are cross-linked by C-H...[pi] interactions.

Comment top

Altough the crystal structure of 2-byba was investigated in 1990 (Lalancette et al., 1990), only a limited number of articles have focused on 2-byba complexes. Consequently, this study, among with our ongoing study of characterization of mixed-ligand metal complexes, will provide a new example of copper(II) complexes with 2-byba.

In title compound, the CuII ion lying on a centre of symmetry, is in a square-planar coordination geometry formed by two symmetry related 2-byba and two symmetry related bim ligands. Both ligands are monodentate with the 2-byba coordinates through carboxylate O atom and bim coordinates through the aromatic N atom.

The molecular packing is mainly stabilized by strong intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2 and Fig. 2) and C—H···π interactions. Atom N2 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via H2, to atom O2 in the molecule at (x, y - 1, z) forming C(8) chains with R22(16) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995). These chains run parallel to the [010] (Fig. 2). The chains are inter-connected to each other by C5—H5···Cg1iii and C11—H11···Cg2iv interactions along the [001] and [101], respectively. Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of the C9–C14 and N1/C15/N2/C16/C21 rings, respectively and symmetry codes (iii) and (iv) are as in Table 2.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title complex, a solution of cupric acetate (0.18 g, 1 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of 2-byba (0.45 g, 2 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) and the solution was stirred for 15 min at 333 K. Solution of bim (0.23 g, 2 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added to the former solution. Final solution was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, violet stick crystals of the title complex were isolated.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parents atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

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.
