In the crystal of the title compound, [Cu(NO3)2(C18H24N2)], the CuII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the bipyridine ligand and four O atoms from the two nitrate anions in a distorted octahedral fashion. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two pyridine rings is 11.52 (10)°. In the weak C—H⋯O interactions may help to establish the packing.

A solution of 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.15 g, 0.56 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) was added to a solution of Cu(N03)2, (0.09 g, 0.56 mmol) in H2O (20 ml), and the resulting blue solution was stirred for 10 min at 313 K. Then, it was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, blue crystals of (I) were isolated.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93- and 0.96 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(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. |

Research into transition metal complexes has been rapidly expanding because of their fascinating structural diversity, as well as their potential applications as functional materials and enzymes (Noro et al., 2000; Yaghi et al., 1998). And 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine has been used as a ligand in coordination chemistry (Huertas et al., 2001; Qin et al., 2002). We report here the crystal structure of the title copper(II)complex, (I), containing a bipyridine ligand.
In the crystal of (I), the CuII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four O atoms from the two nitrate anions. The dihedral angle between the planes of two pyridine rings is 11.52 (10)°. The title compound forms intermolecular H bond whereas the protonated C1 atom act as hydrogen-bond donor and O4 atom act as hydrogen-bond acceptor, the distance of the C1—H1···O4 hydrogen bonds is 3.124 (3) Å (Table 1). Weak C—H···O interactions may help to establish the packing.
