The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(H2O)6](BF4)2·3C4H4N2O2, comprises discrete [Cu(H2O)6]2+ cations and BF4− anions along with three equivalents of pyrazine 1,4-dioxide (pzdo). The hexa­aqua­copper(II) ion and all three pzdo mol­ecules lie about crystallographic inversion centers. The lattice is supported by an extensive hydrogen-bonding network. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the [Cu(H2O)6]2+ and pzdo units creates a pseudo-hexa­gonal lattice parallel to the bc plane. The BF4− anions lie in the voids of that lattice, held in place by O—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, and also generate BF4−–pzdo–BF4−–pzdo stacks via short F⋯N contacts [2.866 (3)–3.283 (4) Å].

Hexaaquacopper(II) tetrafluoroborate tris-1,4-pyrazinedioxide, 1, crystallized from aqueous solution as part of our efforts in the synthesis of low-dimensional Cu(II) antiferromagnetic lattices (Schlueter, et al. 2012). The hydroscopic material crystallizes as discrete [Cu(H2O)6]2+ cations with the Cu2+ atoms located on inversion centers and BF4- anions along with three equivalents of 1,4-pyrazine dioxide (pzdo) each of which sits athwart an individual inversion center, Fig. 1. The lattice is supported by an extensive hydrogen bonding network between the coordinated water molecules and both the tetrafluoroborate anions and the pzdo molecules. The [Cu(H2O)6]2+ cations are linked, via hydrogen bonds with water molecules O1 and O2, into a pseudo-hexagonal layer parallel to the bc-plane via the pzdo molecules (see Figure 2). A similar compound with hexaaquacopper(II) chloride and 4,4'-bipyridine-N,N'-dioxide molecule (Ma et al., 2001) also shows hydrogen bonding to the amine oxide O-atoms, but does not generate the same layer pattern, likely due to the much greater length of the ligand and smaller anion which would create large cavities in the structure. The BF4- anions occupy the roughly triangular holes generated by that lattice and are held in place via hydrogen bonds to the O3 water molecules. Additional hydrogen bonds link the layers parallel to the a-axis, generating a three-dimensional structure.

Further structural support for the lattice is found via pairs of short contacts between the BF4- anions and the pyrazine nitrogen atoms which generate a chain-like motif (Figure 3). These contact distances range in length from 2.866 (3) to 3.283 (4) Å. Similar F···N interactions are seen in a number of complexes with F···N distances near 3 Å, such as the Cu(II)(hat) tetrafluoroborate complex (Shatruk et al., 2006), while distances as short as 2.837 Å have been reported in 2,5-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)-3,6-dimethylpyrazinium bis(tetrafluoroborate) (Turksoy et al., 2003) and catena-(tris(µ3-pyrazino(2,3 - f) quinoxaline)-tri-silver(I) tris(tetrafluoroborate) nitromethane) (Blake et al., 2000). Fewer structures are known with pairs of short F···N contacts to a single ring, such as seen in 1. These include 2,5-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)- 3,6-dimethylpyrazinium bis(tetrafluoroborate) (Turksoy et al., 2003), 2,3-dicyano-1-ethyl-5-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrazinium tetrafluoroborate (Verbitsky et al., 2008) and N,N'-diethylpyrazinediium bis(tetrafluoroborate) (Lu et al., 2009). We find no examples of the stacked pairwise interactions resulting in a chain-like motif such as seen in 1.

Experimental top

Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate hexahydrate and 1,4-pyrazine dioxide were dissolved in equimolar amounts in water. The solution was left for slow evaporation in air at room temperature. Over the course of two months, crystals of compound 1 were recovered. The crystals are hygroscopic and were transferred directly from the mother liquor into a perfluoropolyalkylether for data collection.

Refinement top

All H-atoms bound to carbon were refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, Uiso=1.2Ueq (C). Hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen atoms were located in the difference map and their positions refined using fixed isotropic U values.

Special details top

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.
