The 2Cl4(C10H8N2O2S)2(H2O)2], comprises neutral centrosymmetric μ-chloride-bridged dinuclear units. Each CuII ion is pentacoordinated by three chloride ligands, a pyridine N-oxide O atom and a water molecule. Intra- and intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur between the coordinated water molecules and the uncoordinated and coordinated pyridine N-oxide groups of the 2,2′-thiobis(pyridine N-oxide) ligands, respectively.

A dark-yellow crystal of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction was obtained when equimolar amounts of CuCl2 and 2,2'-dithiobis(pyridine-N-oxide) (Aldrich) were dissolved in methanol and the solution was left at ambient temperature. The crystal was found whithin dark-green unidentified material. The origin of the new 2,2'-thiobis(pyridine-N-oxide) ligand is not clear. Either a trace impurity in the starting material or an in situ cleavage and rearrangement of S—S and S—C(sp2) bonds can be considered. A copper catalysed example of the latter with an related disulfide was reported by Wang et al. (2007). As far we can ascertain no synthetic route to 2,2'-thiobis(pyridine-N-oxide) has been reported in the literature.
The
was refined by full-matrix least-squares on F2. Anisotropic displacement parameters were introduced for all non-hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms were placed at geometrically positions and refined with the appropriate riding model. The water hydrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier synthesis and refined with O—H distances of 0.82 (2) Å and Uiso 1.2 times that of the parent oxygen atom.Data collection: XSCANS (Bruker, 1999); cell

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. |

Pyridine-N-oxide based ligands have attracted a considerable interest in crystal engineering and the synthesis of coordination polymers (Sun et al., 2008).
The title compound, namely bis(µ-chlorido)-diaqua-dichlorido- bis(2,2'-thiobis(pyridine-N-oxide-κO)-dicopper(II), is a neutral dinuclear complex with a central Cu2Cl2-ring exhibiting Ci point symmetry (Fig. 1). The unit cell contains two molecules which reside on a crystallographic centre of inversion. Each Cu2+ ion adopts a distorted square-pyramidal coordination sphere. Two equatorial cis-coordination sites are occupied by the two bridging chlorido ligands. Another chlorido ligand in monodentate coordination mode and an oxygen atom of the pyridine-N-oxide group of the 2,2'-thiobis(pyridine-N-oxide) are located at the remaining two cis-sites. A water molecule binds to the axial position. The molecular geometry parameters are within normal ranges. The dihedral angle Cu(µ-Cl)2/CuClO(N-oxide) is 17.0 (1)°. The angle between the mean planes of the rings N1—C6 and N11—C16 is 66.4 (1)°.
The coordinated water molecule forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond to O11 of the non-coordinating pyridine-N-oxide group of the 2,2'-thiobis(pyridine-N-oxide) ligand. The graph set here is S(12) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The second water hydrogen atom is involved in an intermolecular hydrogen bond to O1 of the coordinating pyridine-N-oxide group with a centrosymmetric R22(8) motif. This leads to the formation of infitine chains via hydrogen bonding extending in the [100] direction with a period corresponding to the crystallographic a axis. Hydrogen bonding details are listed in Table 2.
To the best of our knowledge the title compound is the first coordination compound and the first crystal structure comprising 2,2-thiobis(pyridine-N-oxide).
