The organic ligand (L) was synthesized according to a previously reported procedure (Bai et al. 2010). A mixture of CuBr2 (22.365 mg, 0.1 mmol), and L (49.023 mg, 0.1 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL of water of pH = 6. The resulting mixture was then transferred to a 25 mL Teflon–lined stainless steel reactor, and heated to 438 K for three days. After the reactor was slowly cooled to the room temperature yellow block-shaped crystals were obtained with a yield of 53 %.
Anisotropical displacement parameters were applied for all non-hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined in a riding model with C—H distances of 0.96, 0.97 and 0.93 Å for methyl groups, methylene groups and benzene rings and with Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(CH3), Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(CH2), Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(CH), respectively.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Due to the charming structure topologies and applications in various areas, metal-organic frameworks have been widely developed (Zhu et al. 2005). A successful stategy for the construction of metal-organic frameworks is related to the coordination sites of linker and metal ion geometry. The flexible bis(imidazole) ligands are good candidates for constructing metal-organic networks, because of their numerous possible conformations, mainly cis- and trans-geometry (Qi et al. 2008). Copper (I) shows a variety of different coordination numbers such as two, three and four, and the interconversion between copper (I) and copper (II) makes their crystal structures even more versatile (Li et al. 2006; Peng et al. 2010). Here, we have used the flexible bis(benzimidazole) ligand, 1,1'-(2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propane-1,3-diyl) bis(2-methyl-1H- benzimidazol (L), and copper (II) bromide to obtain the title compound in which copper (II) was reduced to copper (I) under hydrothermal conditions.
In the crystal structure of the title compound, each copper (I) atom is coordinated by one bromide ion, and two N atoms from two ligands L, resulting in a trigonal planar geometry. The Cu—N distances range from 1.932 (8) to 2.003 (8) Å, while the distances of Cu1—Br3 and Cu2—Br6 are 2.381 (2) and 2.316 (3) Å, respectively. Two Cu1 atoms and two Cu2 atoms are linked by eight N atoms from four organic ligands L in an alternative cis-/trans-configuration, resulting in a centrosymmetric Cu4L4 ring. Only one half of the molecule is observed in the asymmetric unit, and there is a crystallographic center of inversion in the center of the macrocyclic molecule. Each bromide ion connects a copper (I) atom in a monodentate mode, oriented outside the ring (Fig. 2). The pitches of Cu1—Cu2 and Cu1—Cu2A are 12.738 (4) and 9.939 (4) Å, respectively. The rings are further interconnected to a two-dimensional network by π–π interactions. Around the ring, benzimidazol groups connected to N3 and N4, and benzimidazol groups based on N1 and N2, are stacked with a distance of 3.803 (5) Å (red dashed) and 3.613 (4) Å (black dashed), respectively (Fig. 2).
