The 2(C5H6N2)4]·H2O, contains two crystallographically independent complex molecules and two water molecules. The CuII ion in each molecule is six-coordinated in an elongated octahedral geometry, with the equatorial plane defined by four pyridine N atoms of four aminopyridine ligands and the axial positions occupied by two Cl atoms. In the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H⋯Cl, O—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C/N—H⋯π interactions involving the pyridine rings.

A solution of 4-aminopyridine (0.376 g) in water (20 ml) was added to a solution of CuCl2.2H2O (0.170 g) in water (20 ml) and the mixture was stirred at 303 K for 6 h. The clear blue solution obtained was filtered and allowed to evaporate slowly. Blue crystals of the title compound were obtained after a month.
H atoms of the water molecules were located in a difference map and refined with O—H and H···H distance restraints of 0.84 (1) and 1.37 (2) Å, respectively. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.93 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N)].

Experimental. The data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment. |
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. |

4-Aminopyridine (Fampridine) is used clinically in Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome and multiple sclerosis because by blocking potassium channels it prolongs action potentials thereby increasing transmitter release at the neuromuscular junctions (Judge & Bever, 2006; Schwid et al.,1997; Strupp et al., 2004).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains two crystallographically independent complex molecules and two water molecules (Fig. 1). The CuII ion in each molecule is six-coordinated in an elongated octahedral geometry formed by four pyridine N atoms from four aminopyridine ligands and two Cl atoms. The two Cl atoms are located at apical positions and the four N atoms form the basal plane. The Jahn–Teller elongation observed in Cu1—Cl1 [3.2185 (4) Å] and Cu2—Cl3 [3.1884 (4) Å] distances are consistent with those reported earlier (Moncol et al., 2004). The average Cu—N bond length of 2.0205 (11) Å agree well with that reported for a copper complex (Zaleski et al., 2005). The bond lengths and angles in the 4-aminopyridine units agree well with those reported earlier (Anderson et al., 2005).
The crystal packing is consolidated by intermolecular O—H···Cl, N—H···O, N—H···N, N—H···Cl and C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds, and and C/N—H···π interactions (Table 2) involving the pyridine rings to form a three-dimensional framework.
