A solution of CuCl2 (0.13 g, 1.0 mmol) in MeOH (10 ml) was added to a solution of 3-mesitylpyrazole (0.37 g, 2.0 mmol) and NaOH (0.040 g, 1.0 mol) in MeOH (20 ml), yielding an immediate green precipitate. The mixture was stirred overnight and then filtered. Slow concentration of the filtrate by evaporation yielded dark-blue crystals of (I), contaminated by a smaller amount of paler blue [CuCl2L4]. Elemental analysis of (I), found: C 46.9, H 4.9, N 9.1%; calculated for C48H56Cl6Cu4N8O: C 47.0, H 4.6, N 9.1%.
The slightly high displacement parameters on atoms C26, C27 and C30 may be indicative of a small degree of librational disorder involving these atoms. However, attempts to refine a static disorder model for the C23—C31 mesityl group to take account of this were unsuccessful and the original model has been retained. All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with the methyl group torsion angles being allowed to refine freely. The fixed C—H distances were: C—H(aryl) = 0.95, C—H(methyl) = 0.98 and N—H = 0.88 Å. The H-atom Uiso parameters were fixed at 1.2Ueq(C) for the C—H(aryl) and N—H groups, and at 1.5Ueq(C) for C—H(methyl).

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. All non-H atoms were refined anisotropically, and no restraints were applied. All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model. The asymmetric unit contains half a complex molecule lying on the crystallographic C2 axis at (-x + 1, y, −z + 0.5). |

The [Cu4(µ4-O)(µ-X)6L4]n- structural type is well known, where X− can be Cl−, Br− or I− and L is a mondentate ligand. The terminal ligand L can be a halide (giving n = 4), or a variety of neutral monodentate N or O donors (giving n = 0), such as imidazoles (Atria et al., 1999; Clegg et al., 1988), thiazolines (Bolos & Christidis, 2002), pyridines (Gill & Sterns, 1970; Händler, 1990; Kilbourn & Dunitz, 1967), pyrazines (Näther & Jeß, 2002), amines (Pavlenko et al., 1993), sulfimides (Kelly et al., 1999), phosphine oxides (Jorík et al., 1996) or sulfoxides (Guy et al., 1988) (not a complete list). Only one previous example containing a pyrazole terminal ligand has been structurally characterized, namely [Cu4(µ4-O)(µ-Cl)6(L1)4] (L1 is 3,4-dimethyl-5-phenylpyrazole; Keij et al., 1991). As part of our studies of the reactions of substituted pyrazoles with CuII salts (Liu et al., 2001; Liu, McAllister et al., 2002; Liu, McLaughlin et al., 2002), we have now isolated the title compound, (I), as a second example with a similar formulation, namely [Cu4(µ4-O)(µ-Cl)6(L2)4] [L2 is 5-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)pyrazole]. \sch
The approximately tetrahedral cluster core in (I) has crystallographic C2 symmetry, with the C2 axis at (1/2, y, 1/4) passing through atoms Cl34, O3 and Cl35. The two unique Cu centres have very similar distorted trigonal-bipyramidal stereochemistries, with τ values of 0.7198 (14) (Cu1) and 0.7560 (12) (Cu2), which are closer to the ideal value of 1 for a trigonal bipyramid than the value of 0 expected for an ideal square pyramid (Addison et al., 1984). The Cu—N, Cu—O and Cu—Cl distances in the molecule lie within the usual ranges, but show small differences between the two Cu centres.
Interestingly, the Cu—Cl bonds to the two ligands that accept N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (see below) are not notably longer than the other Cu—Cl bonds in the molecule, showing that the small Cu—Cl bond-length variations cannot be attributed to this feature of the structure. The Cu—O—Cu angles in the molecule also show small distortions from the tetrahedral angle. These small deviations from ideal tetrahedral molecular symmetry are common in [Cu4(µ4-O)(µ-X)6L4] complexes, and have a significant effect on their magnetic properties (Blake et al., 1997, and references therein). The four unique Cu···Cu distances in the structure range from 3.0570 (4)–3.1689 (5) Å.
The four L2 ligands in the molecule form two pairs of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, with N19—H19 and N19i—H19i [symmetry code: (i) 1 − x, y, 1/2 − z] interacting with atom Cl34, and N5—H5 and N5i—H5i with atom Cl35. This is the same pattern of intramolecular hydrogen bonding shown by [Cu4(µ4-O)(µ-Cl)6(L1)4] (Keij et al., 1991).
The molecules in the crystal associate through two unique π–π interactions. One is between the aryl groups C23—C28 and C9ii—C14ii [symmetry code: (ii) 1 − x, y + 1, 1/2 − z]. The least-squares planes of these two groups have a dihedral angle between them of 5.89 (11)°, and are separated by an average of 3.72 Å. The centroids of the two interacting aryl rings are offset by 1.69 Å. The second π–π interaction is between the opposite face of C23—C28 and C23iii—C28iii [symmetry code: (iii) 1 − x, 2 − y, 1 − z]. These two rings are coplanar by symmetry and separated by 3.70 Å, with centroids offset by 2.59 Å. The effect of these interactions is to associate the molecules into discrete π–π-stacked tetrads, which zigzag along the crystallographic [110] direction. There are no other significant intermolecular interactions in the lattice. Request from coeditor - please insert references to Figs. 1 and 2 at appropriate places.
