In the title ion-pair complex, (C12H14N2)[Cu(C4N2S2)2], the complex anion exhibits a highly twisted coordination environment around the tetra­coordinated CuII atom. The dihedral angles between the 1,2-di­cyano­ethene-1,2-di­thiol­ato ligands and between the two pyridine rings in the cation are 37.49 (3) and 29.18 (10)°, respectively. Weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

During the past few years, the molecular-based materials are widely studied due to their novel applications in the areas of materials science, medicines, biology and so on (Brammer, 2004; Robin & Fromm, 2006). Among these materials, maleonitriledithiolate (mnt) transition metal complexes are a typical kind of bis(1,2-dithiolene) complexes used as building blocks, because they possess an extended electronically delocalized core comprising a central metal, four S atoms and CC units (Duan et al., 2010; Ni et al., 2005). Studies showed that weak inter- or intramolecular interactions in the complexes could influence on their properties (Ren et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2012).

In order to know how the cations affects the stacking mode of [Cu(mnt)2]2- anion, herein, we present a new ion-pair complex. As shown in Fig. 1, it consists of one ethane-1,2-dipydinium (PyEtPy)2+ cation and a [Cu(mnt)2]2- dianion in the asymmetric unit. The [Cu(mnt)2]2- anion exhibits highly twisted coordination environment around the tetracoordinated CuII atom. The dihedral angle between the two mnt ligands is 37.49 (3)°, which is the largest value in this kind complexes. The dihedral angle between two pyridyl planes in the organic cation is 29.18 (10)°. It is seen from Table 1 and Fig. 2 that the crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H···N and C—H···S hydrogen bonds, which link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional network.

Experimental top

The synthesis route of the title compound is similar to reference (Wang et al., 2012). It was prepared by a direct reaction of CuCl2 (0.171g, 1.0 mmol), Na2(mnt) (0.372g, 2.0 mmol) and ethane-1,2-dipydinium bromide (0.344g, 1.0 mmol) in a mixed solution of ethanol and H2O (v/v 1:1; 20 ml). After filtration, brown-red block-like single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of the crude in an acetonitrile solution at room temperature in about two weeks.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.97 (methylene) and 0.93 (pyridyl) Å and with 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.
