The binuclear title compound, [Cu₂(C₇H₄N₃O₂)₄(C₃H₇NO)₂], is a discrete metal–organic compound having a paddle-wheel-type structure. The Cu⋯Cu distance is 2.6366 (5) Å and an inversion center is located at the mid-point of this bond. The Cu^II cation is coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms from four 4-azidobenzoate ligands, and one O atom from a dimethylformamide molecule, forming an overall distorted octahedral geometry when the Cu⋯Cu bond is also considered.

Comment top

The title compound, tetrakis(4-azidobenzoato)bis[(N,N-dimethylformamide)copper(II)], crystallizes in the monoclinic form with centrosymmetric space group P2₁/c. The asymmetric unit contains one copper atom, two 4-azidobenzoate ligands, and one DMF molecule. The Cu atom has a coordination number of six and is coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms from four 4-azidobenzoate ligands and one O atom from DMF molecule. The Cu—Cu bond length is 2.6366 (5) Å. The main structural feature of the title compound is the presence of the well known paddle-wheel unit (Del Sesto et al., 2000; Li et al., 2011) constructed by the asymmetric unit via the inversion symmetry. The azido groups of the ligands are not coordinated and the axial positions of the octahedral coordination polyhedra are occupied by two DMF molecules, to generate the 0D compound.

Experimental top

4-Azidobenzoic acid was prepared from 4-aminoisophthalic acid by diazotization followed by azidation with sodium azide (Sato et al., 2010). A mixture of Cu(NO₃)₂3 H₂O (0.130 g, 0.5 mmol) 4-azidobenzoic acid (0.085 g,0.5 mmol) and DMF (5 ml) was sealed in a 20 ml stainless steel reactor with Teflon liner and heated at 393 K for 4 days. Blue crystals of the title complex were obtained.
