catena-Poly[[tetraaquacopper(II)]-[mu]-trithionato-[kappa]2O:O']

Abstract top

The title supramolecular polymer, [Cu(S3O6)(H2O)4]n, features a tetragonally distorted octahedral CuII centre within an O6 donor set with the longer Cu-O bonds linking the dication and the trithionate dianion. Extensive O-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions connect the supramolecular chains into a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

The title compound, (I), was obtained from an hydrothernal synthesis (see Experimental) and characterized crystallographically. The asymmetric unit comprises a tetraaqua copper(II) cation and a trithionato dianion, Fig. 1. In the crystal structure, the ions are connected as each trithionato dianion bridges two CuII centres thereby forming a supramolecular chain, Fig. 2. The CuII centre exists in a tetragonally distorted O6 octahedron with the Cu—Oaqua bonds [2.047 (3) - 2.047 (3) Å] being significantly shorter than the Cu—Otrithionato bonds [2.524 (3) and 2.564 (3) Å]. The Cu atom lies 0.025 (2) out of the basal plane defined by the four aqua-O atoms (RMS = 0.080 Å) in the direction of the O8i atom, and the O5–Cu–O8i axial angle is 157.74 (10) ° for i: 1 + x, y, 1 + z. Within the trithionato dianion, the S1–S2 and S2–S3 bond distances are 2.1450 (11) and 2.1184 (12) Å, respectively, and the S1–S2–S3 angle is 101.68 (5) Å. In the crystal structure, there is a considerable number of hydrogen bonding interactions. These occur within the supramolecular chain as well as between chains to form a 2-D array in the ac plane, Fig. 3. Connections between layers lead to a 3-D network, Fig. 4.

Structures containing the trithionato dianion are comparatively rare, with only three such examples (Chun et al., 2000; Díaz de Vivar et al., 2005; Ferrari et al., 1977). In the same way, structures having [Cu(OH2)4]2+ centres bridged by bi-functional sulfonato ligands are uncommon (Charbonnier et al., 1977a, b; Pasquale et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2005).

Experimental top

The blue crystal used in the present study was harvested from the hydrothermal reaction of stoichiometric amounts of CuCl, SeS2, S, and N2H4.H2O. The reagents were heated to 420 K for 3 d in a 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave. After the reaction, the bomb was cooled to room temperature. The solution was filtered and layered with methanol. After four weeks, blue needles of (I) were collected and dried in air.

Refinement top

The O-bound H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined with O–H and H···H restraints of 0.840±0.001 Å and 1.39±0.01 Å, respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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.
