Copper powder (0.08 g, 1.25 mmol), (NH4)2C2O4.H2O (0.18 g, 1.25 mmol), Na2[Fe(CN)5(NO)].2H2O (0.37 g, 1.25 mmol), phen.H2O (0.75 g, 3.77 mmol), and 20 ml DMF were heated to 323–333 K and magnetically stirred until total dissolution of the copper was observed (50 min). The resulting blue solution was filtered and allowed to stand at room temperature. Blue-green plate-like microcrystals of the title compound were formed after one day. They were collected by filter-suction, washed with dry PriOH and finally dried in vacuo (yield: 20%).
The non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms were placed at idealized positions (C–H = 0.95 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq C for CH and 1.5Ueq C for CH3) and refined as part of riding models.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. The Fe(CN)5(NO) anion was found to be disordered about (but not on) the crystallographic 2-fold axis. Geometries were restrained to ideal values. There was no indication from the refinement of any disorder between the nitrosyl and cyanide groups. The dimethylformamide solvent molecule was found to be disordered about the crystallographic inversion centre. |

Recently, we have shown that sodium nitroprusside could be used as a source of metalloligand or could supply the second metal upon its destruction in direct synthesis of heterometallic Cu/Fe complexes (Vreshch et al., 2009a,b). Within this study we prepared a new cation-anion Cu/Fe complex based on the self-assembly of nitroprusside anion and Cu cation containing a bidentate amine.The title compound was isolated from the solution obtained by reacting copper powder and sodium nitroprusside with (NH4)2C2O4 and 1,10-phenanthroline in DMF. Obviously, the nitroprusside partially decomposed to supply a cyanide group to the cation while sodium oxalate did not participate. To the best of our knowledge the title compound has not been structurally characterized.
The title compound, [Cu(C12H8N2)2CN]2[Fe(CN)5(NO)].DMF, is formed of discrete [Cu(phen)2CN]+ cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline), nitroprusside [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- anions and DMF molecules of crystallization. The [Cu(phen)2CN]+ cation has no crystallographically imposed symmetry (Fig. 1). The metal atom has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, coordinating four nitrogen atoms of two phen molecules and a carbon atom of the cyanide group. One nitrogen from each phen ligand coordinates to the copper centre in an equatorial position, with Cu–N distances of 2.090 (3) and 2.164 (3) Å, while the other nitrogen atoms occur at axial positions, with Cu–N distances of 2.011 (3) and 2.024 (3) Å. The cyanide group occupies the remaining equatorial position with the Cu–C bond of 1.964 (4) Å. A similar coordination geometry was observed in other complexes containing [Cu(phen)2CN]]+ cations (Dunaj-Jurčo et al., 1993; Potočňák et al., 1996a,b).
The [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- anion was found to be disordered about (but not on) the crystallographic 2-fold axis. Geometries were restrained to ideal values (Soria et al., 2002): a usual distorted octahedral pagoda-like conformation of the nitroprusside anion, with Fe–C bond distances in the range 1.933 (7)–1.959 (6) Å and a Fe–N bond distance of 1.630 (6) Å. There was no indication from the refinement of any disorder between the nitrosyl and cyanide groups.
The structure is completed by dimethylformamide solvent molecules that were found to be disordered about the crystallographic inversion centre.
