(Received 15 June 2011; accepted 21 June 2011; online 25 June 2011)

The title compound, (C₅H₁₄N₂)[CuCl₄], was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of CuCl₂ with 1-methylpiperazine in an HCl/water solution. Both amine N atoms are protonated. The piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The Cu—Cl distances in the tetrahedral anion are in the range 2.2360 (7)–2.2732 (7) Å. In the crystal, moderately strong and weak intermolecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the anion and cation units into an infinite two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane.

Comment top

Amino derivatives of piperazine have found a wide range of applications in material science, due to their magnetic, fluorescent and dielectric properties. There has also been an increased interest in the preparation of amino coordination compounds (Aminabhavi et al. 1986; Dai & Fu 2008a; Dai & Fu 2008b; Fu, et al. 2009). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, Bis-(1-methylpiperazine-1,4-diium) tetrachloride copper(II).

The asymmetric unit is composed of one CuCl₄^2- anion, and one 1-methylpiperazine-1,4-diium cation (Fig.1). Both amine N atoms are protonated, thus indicating two positive charges on the 1-methylpiperazine-1,4-diium cation that balance the two negative charges on the CuCl₄^2- anion. The Cu-Cl distances are in the range from 2.2360 (7) to 2.2732 (7) Å, shorter than its bromide analogue in this issue (Peng, 2011). The piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The geometric parameters of the title compound are in the normal range.

In the crystal structure, all H atoms of the amine groups are involved in intermolecular N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds with the bond angles ranging from 130.4° to 164.0° and N···Cl distances from 3.179 (2)Å to 3.306 (2)Å, respectively. Following the survey by Brammer et al. (2001), the N2—H2B···Cl1 and N2—H2B···Cl2 H-bonds should be considered to be clearly weaker than the N2—H2A···Cl3 and N1—H1···Cl4 interactions (Table 1). The hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into an infinite two-dimensional network parallel to the ab-plane (Fig.2). The bromide analogue of the title compound is reported elsewhere in this issue (Peng, 2011).

Experimental top

A mixture of 1-methylpiperazine (0.4 mmol), CuCl₂ (0.4 mmol) and HCl/distilled water (10ml,1:4) sealed in a teflon-lined stainless steel vessel, was maintained at 100 °C. Blue block-shaped crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after 3 days.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
