In the title compound, [Cu(NO3)2(C8H9N3)2], the CuII atom, lying on an inversion center, has a distorted octahedral coordination environment defined by four N atoms from two chelating 2-aminomethyl-1H-benzimidazole ligands and two O atoms from two monodentate nitrate anions. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into a three-dimensional network. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is also observed.

The title compound was prepared by adding a methanol-water solution (4:1 v/v, 5 ml) of Cu(NO3)2.3H2O (0.1 mmol) to a methanol solution (5 ml) of 2-(2-aminomethyl)benzimidazole (0.2 mmol) (Pascaly et al., 2001). The blue mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and then filtered. Purple crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent after several days. Analysis, calculated for C16H18CuN8O6: C 39.88, H 3.76, N 23.25%; found: C 39.92, H 3.75, N 23.30%.
H atoms bonded to C and N atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.95 (aromatic), 0.99 (CH2) and N—H = 0.88 (NH), 0.92 (NH2) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

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. |

Benzimidazole is of considerable interest as a ligand for transition metal ions. Some of their polyfunctional derivatives have been proved to possess extensive biological activities (Gómez-Segura et al., 2006). Therefore, substituted benzimidazoles have attracted interest of various research groups, especially the substitution at 1, 2 and 5 positions of the benzimidazole ring is very important for their coordination behavior. The 2-(2-aminomethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (AMBI) ligand is a suitable model system for compounds of this sort, which is a bidentate ligand and can chelate a 3d metal ion through two nitrogen atoms of the pendant aminomethyl group and the imidazole ring (Gable et al., 1996; He et al., 2003; Jiang et al., 2004). Moreover, AMBI possesses a larger conjugated π-system and a nitrogen electron-donor of the secondary amine group, which has an important effect on the structures and functions of the complexes. On the other hand, metalloproteins that contain Cu are widespread. Characterization of model Cu complexes that mimic Cu proteins has led to a better understanding of the chemistry of Cu in biological systems. A new copper(II) complex with AMBI, which is reported in this paper, may be of interest with respect to both of the above-mentioned areas.
In the title compound, as shown in Fig. 1, two bidentate AMBI ligands are coordinated to the CuII atom via two N atoms and two nitrate anions are coordinated to the CuII atom via one O atom. The coordination geometry around the CuII atom, which lies on an inversion center, is distorted octahedral, with a bite angle of 83.84 (5)° for two bidentate ligands. The other cis bond angles at the CuII atom fall in the range of 80.71 (5)–99.29 (5)° and the trans bond angles are 180°, suggesting a significant deviation from a perfect octahedral coordination. The Cu—N bond lengths are 1.9839 (12) and 2.0244 (12) Å, with an average of 2.0042 (12) Å. The Cu—O bond length is 2.5870 (12) Å. Extensive N—H···O hydrogen bonds in the crystal, as shown in Fig. 2 and Table 1, link the complex molecules into a three-dimensional network.
