(Received 24 October 2008; accepted 1 December 2008; online 6 December 2008)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu₂Cl₄(C₁₅H₁₄N₄)₂], contains two halves of two centrosymmetric dinuclear molecules, A and B. The conformations of the two crystallographically independent molecules are slightly different: in A, the Cu⋯Cu separation is 4.174 (9) Å and the dihedral angle between the triazole and phenyl rings is 74.23 (11)°; these values are 4.137 (9) Å and 68.58 (13)°, respectively, in B. In each molecule, the copper(II) ions have a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry with a CuCl₂NN′N′′ chromophore. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C—H⋯Cl interactions.

Comment top

As the 1,2,4-triazole ring posesses strong electron donors and coordination capability to transition metal ions, the coordination chemistry of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives has gained great attention in recent years (Klingele et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2008; Matsukizono et al., 2008). Some complexes of 1,2,4-triazoles with iron(II) have spin-crossover properties, which can be used as molecular-based memory devices, displays and optical switches (Kahn & Martinez, 1998; Moliner et al., 2001; Matouzenko et al., 2004). We report here the crystal structure analysis of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains two halves of two centrosymmetric dinuclear molecules, A and B, respectively. In A, the dihedral angle between the triazole and pyridine rings is 11.21 (16)°, and that between the triazole and benzene rings is 74.22 (11)°; those values in B are 9.02 (16)° and 68.58 (13)°, respectively.

The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C—H···Cl interactions (Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by reaction of 3-ethyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole with copper(II) chloride in ethanol and water. To a warm solution of 0.501 grams of 3-ethyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (2.0 mmol) in 10 ml e thanol, 0.682 grams of copper(II) chloride dihydrate (4.0 mmol) in 10 ml water was added. The filtrate was left to stand at room temperature for several days, and single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were collected.

Special details top

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 F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
