N3)copper(II) bromideThe CuII ion in the title molecular salt, [CuBr(C5H8N2)4]Br, is coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry by four N atoms of imidazole ligands and one bromide anion in the apical position. In the crystal, the ions are linked by N-H
Br hydrogen bonds involving both the coordinating and the free bromide species as acceptors. A C-H
Br interaction is also observed. Overall, a three-dimensional network results.
The title compound was prepared by adding a solution of 0.223 g (1 mmol) copper(II) bromide in 4 ml of methanol to a solution of 0.433 g (4.5 mmol) 2-ethylimidazole in 2 ml of methanol. After few days violet crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of solvent from the reaction mixture.
All C–H hydrogen atoms were refined as riding on carbon atoms with methyl C–H = 0.99 Å, methylene C–H = 0.98 Å, aromatic C–H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups and 1.2 Ueq(C) for the rest of H atoms.

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. |

The title compound, (I), is the third in a series of similar complex compounds (Godlewska et al. (2011)). The complex cation features square pyramidal geometry around Cu atom with four N atoms in the basal plane and apical bromide ligand. The deviation of N—Cu—N angles from the values of 90 and 180 degrees are very small and such is the deviation of Cu atom (0.1077 Å) from the basal plane formed by the four nitrogen atoms of imidazole ligands. The complex cations and Br2 anions form a three-dimensional network of intervowen NH···Br and CH···Br interactions that results in a "compact" packing of the interacting species and the relatively large density of the obtained crystals.
The asymmetric unit of (I) is shown in Fig. 1 and packing diagram is presented in Fig.2.
