Tetrakis([mu]2-phenylacetato-[kappa]2O:O')bis[(isoquinoline-[kappa]N)copper(II)]

M.-J. Li, J.-J. Nie and D.-J. Xu

Abstract top

In the title centrosymmetric binuclear CuII complex, [Cu2(C8H7O2)4(C9H7N)2], the two Cu cations are bridged by four carboxylate groups of the phenylacetate anions; each Cu cation is further coordinated by an isoquinoline ligand to complete the distorted CuO4N square-pyramidal geometry. The Cu cation is displaced by 0.2092 (8) Å from the basal plane formed by the four O atoms. Within the dinuclear molecule, the Cu...Cu separation is 2.6453 (6) Å. Although a parallel, overlapped arrangement of isoquinoline ligands exists in the crystal structure; the longer face-to-face distance of 3.667 (5) Å suggests there is no [pi]-[pi] stacking between isoquinoline ring systems.

Comment top

As part of our ongoing investigation on the nature of π-π stacking (Su & Xu, 2004; Xu et al., 2007), the title complex incorporating isoquinoline ligand has recently been prepared in the laboratory and its crystal structure is reported here.

The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. Four phenylacetate anions bridge two CuII cations to form the centro-symmetric complex. Within the dinuclear molecule the Cu···Cu separation of 2.6453 (6) Å is consistent with 2.646 Å found in a related binucealr CuII complex bridged by acetate anions (Li et al., 2009) and 2.642 Å found in a polymeric CuII complex bridged by thiourea (Li et al. 2007). The CuII cation is coordinated by four carboxyl-O atoms from phenylacetate anions in the basal plane, an isoquinoline molecule further coordinates to the CuII cation in the apical position to complete the distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry; the CuII cation is 0.2092 (8) Å deviated from the basal coordination plane.

The parallel, overlaped arrangement of isoquinoline ligands of adjacent complexes is observed in the crystal structure (Fig. 2). The face-to-face distance of 3.667 (5) Å suggests no π-π stacking between isoquinoline ring systems in the crystal structure.

Experimental top

Isoquinoline (0.23 ml, 2 mmol), copper dicholoride dihydrate (0.17 g, 1 mmol) and 2-phenylacetic acid (0.27 g, 2 mmol) were dissolved in ethanol (10 ml) at room temperature. The single crystals of the title compound were obtained from the solution after 2 d.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.97 Å (methylene) and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
