The 6H9N2)2[CuCl4], consists of one cation and one half-anion, bisected by a twofold rotation axis through the metal center. The anion exhibits a geometry that is intermediate between a Td and D4h arrangement about the Cu atom. The contains chains of cations alternating with stacks of anions. The cationic groups interact via offset face-to-face π–π stacking, forming chains running along the c axis. The anion stacks are parallel to the cation chains, with no significant inter- nor intrastack Cl⋯Cl interactions. There are several anion–cation hydrogen-bonding interactions of the (N—H)pyridine⋯Cl and (N—H)amino⋯Cl types, connecting the chains of cations to the stacks of anions. Both the N—H⋯Cl and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances 3.61 (8) and 3.92 (2) Å] contribute to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.

To a hot solution (100 °C) of 2-Amino-4-methylpyridine (1 mmol) in 5 ml of CH3CN acidified with 2 ml of 3 M HCl, CuCl2.2H2O (1 mmol) dissolved in 10 ml CH3CN was added. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 1.5 h. The solution was then allowed to stand undisturbed at room temperature. After 24 h yellow parallelepiped crystals were formed (yield: 0.170 g; 80.2%).
Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically, with N—H = 0.86 Å, C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H and C—H = 0.96 Å for methyl H, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, Uiso(H) = xUeq(C,N), where x = 1.5 for methyl H, and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.

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. |

Hybrid organic-inorganic low dimensional magnetic lattices of the formula (cation)2[MX4] are of special interest (Coffey et al., 2000; and references therein). A wide variety of these complexes are known. Some examples are those containing a protonated pyridine and 2-aminopyrimidine (Coffey et al., 2000). The magnetic exchange in these compounds is mediated by van der Waals contacts between the halide ions of the [MX4]2- pseudo-tetrahedra and the contacts are determined by the crystal packing. In connection with ongoing studies (Al-Far et al., 2008; Ali & Al-Far 2008; Ali & Al-Far 2007) of the structural aspects of organic-inorganic hybrids, here we report the crystal structure of Cu(II)-chloride complex with 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium as the organic cation.
The asymmetric unit in I contains one half anion (bisected by a two fold axis through the metal) and one cation (Fig. 1). The Cu—Cl distances and Cl—Cu—Cl, angles, Table 1, fall in the range reported previously for compounds containing Cu—Cl anions (Raithby et al., 2000). The CuCl42- anion geometry is an intermediate between regular tetrahedral (Td) and square planar (D4 h); the geometry of CuX42- anions will always distort from Td due to the Jahn-Teller effect, and this generally results in a compressed tetrahedral geometry. The extent of this compression is determined principally by electrostatic interactions with the environment – in this case, the hydrogen bonding.
In the cation bond lengths and angles are in accordance with normal values (Allen et. al., 1987).
The crystal packing (Fig. 2) show alternating stacks of anions and chains of cations. The anion stacks are parallel to the cation chains, with no significant inter- and intra-stack Cl···Cl interactions. The cations interact via offset face-to-face, π–π stacking interactions leading to chains along the crystallographic c axis (Fig. 3), with alternating rings centroids separation distances of 3.61 (8) and 3.92 (2) Å.
There are extensive cation···anion intermolecular interactions (Table 2; Fig. 1). In these interactions H1A is involved in a bifurcated hydrogen bonding motif with Cl and Cl2i [N1—H1A···(Cl1,Cl2i) distances are 3.407 (6) and 3.360 (6) Å, respectively, with N1—H1A···(Cl1,Cl2i) angles being 147 and 134°; Symmetry codes: (i) -x + 1, y, -z + 3/2]. The other interactions result between N2—H2A···Cl1 [N1···Cl1 distance is 3.294 (6) and N2—H2A···Cl1 angle of 153°] and N2—H2B···Cl2ii [with N2···Cl2ii distance of 3.359 (6) Å and N2—H2B···Cl2ii angle being 164°; Symmetry code: (ii) -x + 3/2, y - 1/2, -z + 3/2]. These interactions and the symmetrically related ones connect the anion to four surrounding cations.
Both N—H···Cl and π–π stacking interactions cause to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
