(Received 13 October 2010; accepted 21 October 2010; online 30 October 2010)

The title compound, [Cu2(C12H21N2Si)2], is a binuclear CuI complex. The dimeric mol­ecule has an inversion center located at the mid-point of the Cu—Cu bond [Cu—Cu = 2.7209 (7) Å]. The bidentate ligand behaves in an N:N′-bridging mode, coordinating the metal atoms. The N—Cu—N unit is close to being linear [176.60 (8)°]. The two N atoms exhibit different affinities for the metal atom. The Cu—Namino bond is longer than the Cu—Nanilido bond by 0.079 Å. The core of the mol­ecule, the [Cu—N—Si—N]2 eight-membered ring, adopts a chair configuration.

Comment top

In the past decades, considerable attention was paid to monovalent copper amides because of their potential applications in chemical vapor deposition (CVD), organic electroluminescent devices (EL), as well as their structural diversity. The tetranuclear copper(I) amide, [CuN(SiMe3)2]4, has proved to be a useful precursor in these areas (Chen et al., 1992; James et al., 1998; Noto et al., 2003). In contrast to the traditional monodentate amido ligands, the N-silylated anilido ligands with a pendant amino group were developed and supposed to be bidentate. They were employed for synthesizing compounds with different metals including Zn (Schumann et al., 2000), Zr (Chen, 2009; Yuan et al., 2010) and Fe (Chen, 2008). Here, the synthesis and crystal structure of a new copper(I) anilido complex will be described.

The molecular structure is illustrated in Fig. 1. The N-silylated anilido ligand has an N—Si—N chelating moiety, which is presumed to be a "quasi" conjugated unit owing to d–π interaction between the Si and N atoms. In the binuclear copper compound, each CuI atom coordinates to two N from two ligands, one being an anilido group and another being an amino group. Therefore, the bidentate ligand behaves as N,N'-µ-bridging mode. Each N—Cu—N unit is close to linear and the two N—Cu—N units are nearly co-planar. The two silyl groups are located above and beneath the plane, respectively, which leads to the "chair" configuration of the [Cu—N—Si—N]2 eight-membered ring. The bond lengths N1—Cu1, N2—Cu1A (Cu1A is generated by symmetry operation 1-x, 2-y, 2-z), N1—Si1 and N2—Si1 are 1.848 (2), 1.927 (2), 1.687 (2) and 1.819 (2) Å, respectively. The central Cu—Cu bond is 2.7209 (7) Å, which is comparable to the metal-metal interaction in another reported copper(I) compound (Guo et al., 2009). It is noteworthy that the packing is stablized by a C—H···π interaction between H12A and the phenyl ring C1-C6.

Experimental top

CuCl (0.25 g, 2.50 mmol) was added into the solution of [LiN(SiMe2NMe2)(2,6-Me2C6H3)]2 (0.57 g, 1.25 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) at 273 K. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and kept stirring for 12 h. It was dried in vacuum to remove all volatiles and the residue was extracted with CH2Cl2 (30 ml). Concentration of the filtrate under reduced pressure and recrystallization in hexane gave the title compound as colorless crystals (yield 0.51 g, 71%).

Refinement top

The methyl H atoms were constrained to an ideal geometry, with C—H distances of 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), but each group was allowed to rotate freely about its C–C, C–N or C–Si bonds. The other H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.94 Å and 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.

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.
