In the title compound, [Cu(C4H12P2S2)2]BF4, both diphosphine di­sulfide mol­ecules bind to the CuI atom, as chelating ligands via the S atoms, forming a monovalent cation with a slightly distorted tetra­hedral coordination around the CuI atom. The average Cu—S distance is 2.350 (15) Å, with small but possibly significant differences within each chelate ring. Ligand P=S distances average 1.964 (3) Å, and the P—P distances are 2.2262 (13) and 2.2166 (14) Å. The ligand chelate rings are twisted in opposite directions, with one in the λ and one in the δ configuration. Although the anisotropic displacement parameters of the F atoms of the anion are quite large compared to that of the B atom, difference Fourier syntheses indicate only one set of sites for the F atoms. In the crystal, possible C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds may stabilize the orientation. The B—F distances, uncorrected for libration, average 1.359 (6) Å.

1. Chemical context

The title compound was one of a number of phosphine sulfide copper complexes synthesized by Devon Meek and his group (Meek & Nicpon, 1965[Meek, D. W. & Nicpon, P. (1965). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 87, 4951-4952.]). Early reports by Meek and co-workers and by Cotton et al. (1974a[Cotton, F. A., Frenz, B. A., Hunter, D. L. & Mester, Z. C. (1974a). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 11, 111-117.]) on coordination complexes of diphosphinedi­sulfide ligands indicated the chelating mode for these ligands to metals such as CuI as only one of several bonding possibilities, particularly as the chelating model involves rotation about the P—P bond from the trans conformation found in the structure of the free ligands (see, for example, Lee & Goodacre, 1971[Lee, J. D. & Goodacre, G. W. (1971). Acta Cryst. B27, 302-307.]). Indeed, the tetra­methyl­diphosphinedi­sulfide ligand was shown in one case to bridge copper atoms forming a polymeric chain (Cotton et al., 1974b[Cotton, F. A., Frenz, B. A., Hunter, D. L. & Mester, Z. C. (1974b). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 11, 118-122.]). Our work was initiated to verify the chelating structure that had been predicted for the present compound.

[Scheme 1]

We have reported this structure previously at the 1973 winter meeting of The American Crystallographic Association. The crystal structure of the corresponding hexa­fluorido­phosphate salt has been reported by Liu et al. (2003[Liu, H., Calhorda, M. J., Drew, M. G. B. & Félix, V. (2003). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 347, 175-180.]).

2. Structural commentary

In this reported structure, both diphosphine di­sulfide mol­ecules bind to the CuI atom as chelating ligands via the S atoms, forming a monovalent cation with a slightly distorted tetra­hedral coordination around the CuI (Fig. 1[link]). Liu et al. (2003[Liu, H., Calhorda, M. J., Drew, M. G. B. & Félix, V. (2003). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 347, 175-180.]) have described the structure of the PF6 salt of the present cation, as well as that of the corresponding silver salt.

Selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1[link]. The average Cu—S distance is 2.350 (15) Å, and distances vary by up to 0.065 Å. The chelate S—Cu—S angles are 105.69 (3) and 106.94 (5)°, smaller than the other S—Cu—S angles, which vary from 109.10 (3) to 114.02 (4)° and average 111.1 (10)°. Ligand P=S distances are more constant, with an average of 1.964 (3) Å, and the P—P distances are 2.2262 (13) and 2.2166 (14) Å. The ligand chelate rings are twisted in the λ and δ configurations for S1P2P3S4 and S5P6P7S8, respectively, with torsional angles about the P—P bonds of 47.97 (6) and −56.37 (6)°. The geometry of the cation, including the slight distortions from regular tetra­hedral geometry at the CuI atom, is very similar to that seen by Liu et al. (2003[Liu, H., Calhorda, M. J., Drew, M. G. B. & Félix, V. (2003). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 347, 175-180.]).

The BF4 anion has regular tetra­hedral geometry, with an average F—B—F angle of 109.5 (6)° and an average B—F distance of 1.359 (6) Å, with distances ranging from 1.347 (5) to 1.370 (5) Å.

3. Supra­molecular features

The packing arrangement in the unit cell is shown in Fig. 2[link]. There are no unusual features. The shortest inter­molecular contacts not involving F atoms are H4A—H8A(x, [{1\over 2}] − y, [{1\over 2}] + z), at 2.42 Å and H7B—H7C(−x, −y, −1 − z), at 2.68 Å.

A number of recent structural papers in this journal have postulated that C—H. . . O hydrogen bonds were contributing to packing of organic structures (see, for example: Salas et al., 2011[Salas, C. O., Tapia, R. A. & Prieto, Y. (2011). Acta Cryst. E67, o318.]; Corfield et al., 2014[Corfield, P. W. R., Paccagnini, M. L. & Balija, A. M. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, o400-o401.]). This led us to investigate the possibility that F⋯H—C hydrogen bonds were stabilizing the orientation of the BF4 ion. We list six putative F⋯H—C hydrogen bonds in Table 2[link], and they are represented in Fig. 2[link]. F⋯C distances are all less than 3.5 Å, and F⋯H distances range from 2.45 to 2.60 Å, while angles at the H atoms are reasonably close to linear.

4. Database survey

A search of the in the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD, Version 5.35; Groom & Allen, 2014[Groom, C. R. & Allen, F. H. (2014). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53, 662-671.]) with a substructure containing the diphosphine di­sulfide ligand of the present study chelated with any metal, M, found 11 structures whose coordinates were given. Database P—P and P=S distances average 2.224 (5) and 1.993 (8) Å, while the M—S—P and S—P—P angles average 102.1 (9) and 106.1 (6)°, respectively. In the present compound, the P=S distances average 1.965 (2) Å and the average Cu—S—P angle is 98.6 (12)°, both close to values for the other copper(I) compound listed, but somewhat less than values for compounds with other metals. The geometry reflects the lack of π bonding seen in the copper complexes, as indicated by the small change in P=S bond length and νP-s vibrational mode upon coordination to copper (Liu et al., 2003[Liu, H., Calhorda, M. J., Drew, M. G. B. & Félix, V. (2003). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 347, 175-180.]). Database torsional angles indicate no preference between λ and δ configurations.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Details of the synthesis and characterization of a number of phosphine sulfides, including the title compound, are given in Meek & Nicpon (1965[Meek, D. W. & Nicpon, P. (1965). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 87, 4951-4952.]).

6. Refinement details

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. Each of 18 standard reflections was measured 18–19 times during the 114 h of data collection. No significant crystal decay was noted; indeed we recorded an overall increase in intensity of 1.6% over the entire data collection. No corrections were made. Data were collected in two shells, θ = 0–22.5 and θ = 22.5–35°.

Inorg. Chem. 12, 1734-1740.]), SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008[Sheldrick, G. M. (2008). Acta Cryst. A64, 112-122.]) and ORTEPIII (Burnett & Johnson, 1996[Burnett, M. N. & Johnson, C. K. (1996). ORTEPIII. Report ORNL-6895. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, USA.]).

The original data reduction deleted reflections with I < 2σ(I), and their details are no longer available. Near the end of the final refinements, 2217 missing weak reflections were reinserted into the data file, with F2 values set equal to σ(F2) found for reflections with F2 < 3σ(F2), averaged over ten ranges of θ values. The arbitrary assignment of F2 values for these weak reflections perhaps explains the high K value noted for the weakest reflections in the final refinement, where the Fcal2 values will be near zero.

The 6 7 1 reflection was omitted from the final refinements, due to evidence of a transcription error: the chart record clearly indicates a very weak reflection, while the intensity retrieved from our backup storage is very large. Further, the chart record shows that the very strong 1 0 0 reflection was truncated during the scan, and this record was also omitted.

Positions of all non-hydrogen atoms were found by superposition methods. H atoms in the eight methyl groups were constrained to idealized tetra­hedral positions with C—H distances of 0.96 Å. The methyl torsional angles were refined. The Ueq values for all H atoms were fixed at 1.2 times the Uiso of their bonded C atoms.

Initial refinements with anisotropic temperature factors for the heavier atoms and constrained hydrogen atom parameters converged smoothly, to R1 = 0.0443 for 4223 reflections with F2 < 2σ. In case there were systematic anisotropic scaling errors in the data collection that might have affected the detailed electron density around the BF4 anion, the intensity data were now smoothed by a 12-parameter model with XABS2 (Parkin et al., 1995[Parkin, S., Moezzi, B. & Hope, H. (1995). J. Appl. Cryst. 28, 53-56.]). The smoothing lowered R1 to 0.0399, but had little effect on the electron density or on the atomic parameters: the average δ/σ was 0.9; two F atoms moved by 3σ.

We made extensive efforts to develop and refine a disordered model for the BF4 anion, in light of the large Uij values for the F atoms, but were unable to find a model with improved Uij and R values. Difference Fourier syntheses phased on the cation parameters always yielded four large peaks corresponding to the current F atom positions; final difference Fourier maps did show several much smaller peaks in the vicinity of the B atom, but no tetra­hedral array emerged.

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.
