There are two formula units (Z′ = 2) in the asymmmetric unit of the title compound, [CuBr(C16H32N4)]Br·2H2O. The title crystal consists of two [Cu(C16H32N4)]2+ cations, two Br anions and four uncoordinated water mol­ecules. The metal atom is five-coordinate square pyramidal, with a long apical Cu—Br bond [2.9734 (11) and 2.9229 (11) Å in the two cations]. The two cations form a loosely associated dimer through the formation of hydrogen bonds between both N—H and O—H and Br. In addition, there is a network of N—H⋯Br, O—H⋯Br and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a chain structure.

Comment top

The structures of several related macrocyclic complexes have been reported (Whimp et al., 1970; Tebbe et al., 1985). The unsubstituted parent compound exists in the zwitterionic form (Maurya et al., 1991; Spirlet et al., 1991). The copper teraazamacrocyclic complex cation, [Cu(C16H32N4 Br)]+, can combine with different anions to form many kinds of structures.

The title compound, [Cu(C16H32N4Br)]Br.2H2O, was synthesized by reaction of CuSO4.5H2O and the complex C18H32N4.2HBr.2H2O in methanol solution. The two similar macrocycles are linked via N—H···O (water) and O—H···Br hydrogen bonds to form a loosely associated dimer (see Fig. 1). One of the macrocycle units is further associated with the remaining Br anions and water solvent molecules. In the two macrocyclic cations each Cu is square pyramidal five coordinate [τ = 0.07 and 0.11, respectively (Addison et al. 1984)] with long Cu—Br bonds [Cu(1)—Br(1), 2.9734 (11); Cu(2)—Br(2), 2.9229 (11)]. The six-membered rings contain double bonds between N(4)—C(4) and N(2)—C(10); N(6)—C(26) and N(8)—C(20) [distances of 1.273 (7) Å and 1.279 (7) Å in molecule 1 and 1.282 (7) and 1.287 (7) Å in molecule 2, respectively]. The average Cu—N(amine) and Cu—N(imine) bond distances are similar to those found previously (Szalda et al., 1989). The Cu and 4 N atoms are coplanar (r.m.s. average deviation of 0.06 Å). The dihedral "fold" angle between the planes formed by N1, N2, N3 and N1, N4, N3 is 4.39 (2)°. In the crystal structure, the cations, anions and water molecules are linked via intermolecular N—H···Br, O— H···Br and N—H···O hydrogen bonds forming discrete chains, and the structure is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. (see Fig. 2).

Experimental top

All chemicals were of reagent grade and were used as received with out further purification. The precursor complex C18H32N4.2HBr.2H2O was prepared previously. To a 10 ml me thanol solution of CuSO4.5H2O (0.2 mmol,0.087 g), a 5 ml me thanol solution of C18H32N4.2HBr.2H2O (0.2 mmol, 0.0957 g) was added dropwise with stirring. The resulting solution was continuously stirred for about 30 min. Purple crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature over several days.

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.
