(Received 13 November 2007; accepted 12 December 2007; online 21 December 2007)

In the title compound, [Cu(C4H2BrO4)2(C6H6N4)2], the central CuII atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry by four N atoms from two chelating biimidazole mol­ecules in the equatorial plane and two O atoms from two 2-bromo­fumarate ligands in the axial positions. O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Because of its various deprotonation modes (H2biim, Hbiim-, biim2-), the 2,2'-biimidazole ligand exhibits rich coordination patterns with various metals such as AgI (Sang & Xu, 2006), NiII (Tadokoro et al., 1999), CuII(Atencio et al., 2005; Carraza et al., 2003) and CoIIIÖhrström et al., 2001). We report here the crystal structure of a CuII complex with neutral 2,2'-biimidazole molecule and 2-bromofumarate anion as ligands.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the Cu atom shows a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, formed by four N atoms from two 2,2'-biimidazole molecules and two O atoms from carboxylate groups offered by two 2-bromofumarate ligands at the axial positions. The asymmetric unit contains an H2biim molecule and a 2-bromofumarate anion with a CuII atom lying on an inversion center. We can see that the lengths of Cu—N bonds [2.028 (5) and 2.001 (5) Å] are slightly asymmetric (Table 1). This behavior is similar to the reported Cu complex with H2biim [2.036 (2) and 2.010 (2) Å] (Atencio et al., 2005). Three types of strong hydrogen bonds are observed. The O—H···O hydrogen bonds are formed between two adjacent uncoordinated carboxylate groups. The N—H···O hydrogen bonds are formed between H2biim and the neighboring coordinated carboxylate group. Weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds also exist in the structure (Table 2). The complex molecules are assembled into two-dimensional layers via O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds. These layers are further assembled through C—H···O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.

Experimental top

In a 50 ml two-neck bottle, the mixture of 2,2'-biimidazole (1.340 g, 10 mmol), 2-bromofumaric acid (0.195 g, 10 mmol) (Fischer, 2006), water (10 ml) and methanol (10 ml) was heated to 353 K, and then copper(II) chloride dihydrate (0.170 g, 10 mmol) was added. The suspension was stirred and kept at 353 K for 3 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solid was filtered off and the green solution was allowed to evaporate in air. After one day, block green crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were formed.

Refinement top

H atoms on C and N atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N). H atom attached to O atom was located in a difference Fourier map and fixed with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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.
