The complex of composition CuCl2L2, where L is 2-allyltetrazole, was prepared by the method described by Degtyarik et al. (1985) and was used as the starting compound for the synthesis of (I). Dark-green single crystals of (I) were grown by the slow evaporation in air of a 2-propanol-butanol-ethyl orthoformate (%v/v 2:2:1) solution of the starting complex at 288–291 K for 3 d.
The H atoms were included in geometrically calculated positions, with C—H distances of 0.93–0.97 Å, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) equal to 1.2Ueq of the corresponding C atom. The short C═C distances in the allyl groups [1.172 (5)–1.260 (5) Å] are the result of libration.

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. |

Isomeric 1- and 2-monosubstituted tetrazoles are different in their physico-chemical properties (boiling and melting points, dipole moments, electron density distribution in the tetrazole ring etc.) and also in their ability to form complexes with transition metal salts (Butler, 1996; Gaponik, 1998). Therefore, 1-monosubstituted tetrazoles easily form complexes with copper(II) chloride, with CuCl2L2 complexes usually being produced. In contrast, special conditions are needed to obtain crystalline complexes with 2-monosubstituted tetrazoles (Gaponik, 2000), and hence their structures and properties have barely been investigated. Only one complex of copper(II) chloride with 2-substituted tetrazole has been structurally characterized, namely CuCl2L2, where L is 2-tertbuthyltetrazole (Lyakhov et al., 2003). Moreover, an inspection of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.23, September 2002 release; Allen, 2002) with respect to 2-substituted tetrazole complexes revealed only one complex [NiL6](BF4)2, where L is 2-methyltetrazole (van den Heuvel et al., 1983).
A new complex of copper(II) chloride, (I), with the unusual composition Cu3Cl6L4, where L is 2-allyltetrazole (see Fig.1), has been synthesized, and this complex is investigated in the present work. There are four 2-allyltetrazole ligands in the asymmetric unit of (I), and these are denoted A, B, C and D.
Geometrical parameters of the tetrazole rings of the four 2-allyltetrazole molecules are very similar. The tetrazole rings are planar to within 0.002 (3) Å, 0.003 (3) Å, 0.003 (7) Å and 0.003 (3) Å for ligands A, B, C and D, respectively. The lengths of the corresponding bonds in the tetrazole rings of (I) lie in the following ranges (Å): N1—N2 [1.314 (4) − 1.322 (4)], N2—N3 [1.287 (3) − 1.308 (4)], N3—N4 [1.319 (3) − 1.327 (3)], N4—C5 [1.313 (4) − 1.338 (4)], N1—C5 [1.314 (4) − 1.326 (5)]. As can be seen, there is a reasonable agreement (within the 3.2σ range) between the corresponding bond distances of the rings.
There are three Cu atoms, Cu1, Cu2 and Cu3, in the asymmetric unit of (I). Atom Cu3 adopts a distorted flattened octahedral geometry (Table 1, Fig. 2), with two 2-allyltetrazole ligands in the axial positions [Cu3—N4A = 1.990 (2) and Cu3—N4B = 1.991 (2) Å]. Four Cl atoms occupy the equatorial positions, with Cu3—Cl distances in the range 2.4431 (9)–2.5426 (9) Å (Table 1).
The Cu1 and Cu2 atoms may be considered to be five-coordinated, with square pyramidal geometry (Table 1). For either atom, three basal sites are occupied by Cl atoms [Cu1—Cl = 2.2487 (9)–2.3163 (8) and Cu2—Cl = 2.2569 (9)–2.3034 (9) Å] and one basal site is occupied by a 2-allyltetrazole ligand [Cu1—N4D = 2.028 (2) and Cu2—N4C = 2.013 (2) Å]. Cl atoms lie in the apical positions of the pyramids [Cu1—Cl6i = 2.8360 (10) Å (symmetry code: (i) 1 + x, y, z) and Cu2—Cl3ii = 2.8046 (9) Å (symmetry code: (ii) x − 1, y, z)].
Note that within a range of 3.0 Å the Cu1 and Cu2 atoms adopt octahedral geometry, with additional N3 atoms in axial positions [Cu1—N3A = 2.898 (3) and Cu2—N3B = 2.926 (3) Å] (these long contacts are shown by dashed lines in the Scheme and in Fig. 1–3). However, according to the accepted point of view, the nucleophilic reactivity of 2-substituted terazoles is due to only the N4 atom, and hence the N3 atoms should not be included in the Cu-atom coordination sphere. Nevertheless, since the Cu1 and Cu2 atoms are surrounded symmetrically in the structure of (I), and because of the favourable orientation of the A and B tetrazole rings with reference to the Cu1 and Cu2 atoms, respectively, we can assume that atoms N3A and N3B might be included in the Cu1 and Cu2 octahedra. Note that all our attempts to synthesize CuCl2L2 and CuCl2L complexes of copper(II) with 2-allyltetrazole failed because only (I) was crystallized. Additional Cu1—N3A and Cu2—N3B bonds may be responsible for the favourable formation of (I).
To investigate the Cu1—N3 and Cu2—N3 bonds in (I), DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations of the crystal structure of (I), including the neighbouring Cu1 and Cu3 atoms with all their ligands, have been carried out within the B3LYP model (Becke, 1993) using NWChem package (Harrison et al., 2002). Because the Cu1 and Cu2 surroundings are similar, analogous calculations for the Cu2 atom were not performed. The Cu1 and Cu3 atoms were described by the standard LANL2DZ double-ξ basis set with the effective core potential given by Hay & Wadt (1985). The standard STO-3 G basis set (Hehre et al., 1969) was used for the remaining atoms. Both singlet and triplet multiplicities have been considered for the fragment. The calculations showed that the triplet state energy was 31.5 kcal/mol lower than that of the singlet. For the triplet state, the overlap population for the Cu1—N4D bond (0.237) is almost two times greater than that for the Cu1—N3A bond (0.132). Therefore, the Cu1—N3A interaction is considerably weaker than the Cu1—N4D interaction. However, the overlap population value of 0.132 is neither high enough to be meaningful nor too low to be negligible in the resolution of the problem of the coordination bond Cu1—N3A (and of Cu2—N3B). In view of this ambiguity, the calculation results may be considered to be only preliminary. More detailed calculations will be the topic of future investigation.
As can be seen from Fig. 2, adjacent copper polyhedra share their edges with Cl atoms to form one-dimensional polymeric chains running along the a axis. The separations between the neighbouring Cu atoms in such a chain are listed in Table 1. Only van der Waals interactions exist between the chains. The packing structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 3. There are no hydrogen bonds in the structure of (I).
