A solution of Cu(NO3)2 (2.0 mmol) in water (3 ml) was mixed with a solution of KNO2NCN (4.0 mmol) in water (10 ml) and with a solution of imidazole (4.0 mmol) in methanol (10 ml). This system was left to stand for a few days and blue crystals of [Cu(NCNNO2)2(iz)4] were isolated. The mid-IR vibrational spectrum was compared with those of NaNO2NCN and free imidazole. The comparison revealed that many vibration bands of the cyanoamidonitrate ligand (e.g. 2196 and 2189 cm−1 for NCN asymmetric stretching vibration, 1171 and 1162 cm−1 for NCN symmetric vibration, 1298 and 1284 cm−1 for NO2 symmetric stretching vibration, 968 and 962 cm−1 for N—N stretching vibration, 551 and 540 cm−1 for C–N torsion, and 511 and 506 cm−1 for NCN bending vibration) are split by only a few wavenumbers. Similar small splittings can also be seen on some imidazole ligand bands. These features may indicate the presence of more than one crystallographically independent molecule in the lattice.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding atoms (C—H = 0.93 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å), with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq of the parent atom.

Experimental. Mid-IR spectra in the region 4000–400 cm−1 were measured on a Nicolet Nexus 470 F T–IR spectrometer with the resolution 2 cm−1 in KBr pellet. |
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. |

Non-linear pseudohalides, such as dicyanamide, N(CN)2−, tricyanomethananide, C(CN)3−, nitrosodicyananomethanide, ONC(CN)2− and cyanamidonitrate (can), O2NN(CN)−, exhibit a rich variety of bonding modes for coordination in 3d complexes (Jäger et al., 1997; Hvastijová et al., 1998; Kohout et al., 2000; Potočňák et al., 2001, 2002; Kožíšek et al., 2002; Díaz et al., 2003). A comparison of bond distances for compounds of the type [M(NL)4(NO2NCN)2] [where M = Co, Ni and Cu, and NL is a neutral ligand, such as iz (imidazole), pz (pyrazole) or meiz (1- or 5-methylimidazole)] found in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 1.6, 2003 release; Allen, 2002) is shown in Table 3. For Ni and Cu compounds, neutral ligands were found in the equatorial plane and anionic (can) ligands in axial positions. In all previously solved crystal structures, except for CSD refcode OFILEU, the molecules are centrosymmetric.
Cell reduction for the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), revealed that the cell could be transformed to a monoclinic C-centred one, but Rint and R(σ) were significantly better for the triclinic case (0.0301 and 0.0375, respectively) than for a monoclinic lattice (0.0570 and 0.0483). The structure could be solved in the triclinic space group P-1 only, with many difficulties. During refinement, large positional shifts led to unreasonable molecular geometry, and additional peaks appeared in the difference map. This behaviour is typical of merohedral and pseudo-merohedral twins, which are formed when the metric symmetry of the unit cell is higher than that of its contents. Under these conditions, a matrix product (monoclinic to triclinic) × (inversion) × (triclinic to monoclinic) (0 0 1 / 0.5 − 0.5 0 / 0.5 0.5 0) × (−1 0 0 / 0 − 1 0 / 0 0 − 1) × (0 − 1 −1 / 0 − 1 1 / −1 0 0) (matrices written by rows) can be expressed as TWIN 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 in the SHELXL97 code (Sheldrick, 1997).
An interesting feature of the title compound is the presence of one non-centrosymmetric and two centrosymmetric molecules in the crystal structure (Fig. 1). Although the differences in Cu—N(NL) bond distances are small, it might be supposed that the orientation of the imidazole ligands (and so the interaction of π-electron density with CuII d orbitals) could increase the asymmetry on the CuII center, the most pronounced distortion being in the axial direction [2.509 (3) and 2.570 (3) Å]. It can be seen that all Cu—Niz distances that are perpendicular to the cyanamidonitrate/CuII/imidazole `plane' are significantly shorter that the Cu—Niz distances in the `plane' [Cu1—N7 = 1.998 (3) Å, Cu1—N17 = 2.002 (3) Å, Cu34—N35 = 2.015 (3) Å and Cu51—N57 = 2.005 (3) Å]. The greatest deviations from a regular geometry are in the angles that contain atoms that are more tightly bonded (N7, N17, N35 and N57; see Table 2).
In the CSD for chromofore [CuN6], 45 crystal structures were found with monodentate nitrogen ligands and with no restrictions for centrosymmetry. However, only five of these stuctures have a non-centrosymmetric molecule [refcodes LAXTEJ (Otieno et al.,1993), LITVEP (Lipkowski et al.,1999), LOYROG (Dalai et al., 2002), MOGMUQ (Fedin et al., 2002) and SOFCEV (Kožíšek et al., 1991)]. No crystal structure containing both centrosymmetric and non-centrosymmetric moieties was found. The greatest difference between the axial distances is in SOFCEV (2.372 and 2.500 Å).
The crystal structure of (I) (see) is stabilized by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds and van der Vaals interactions (Fig. 2 and Table 2). The closest intermolecular contacts [N9—O49= 2.819 (4) Å, N59—O33 = 2.832 (4) Å and N19—O67 = 2.848 (4) Å] do not indicate significant π–π interaction.
