In the title complex, [Cu(C3H4N2)(C10H11N3)2](ClO4)2, the CuII cation has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry defined by a CuN2N′2N′′ donor set. The imidazole ligand is disordered over two orientations of equal occupancy. Two of the perchlorate ion sites are located on a twofold rotation axis, and one of is disordered over two sites of equal occupancy. In the crystal structure there is a two-dimensional infinite network of hydrogen-bonded mol­ecules parallel to the ab plane.

Comment top

Imidazole is ubiquitous in biology and chemistry. It is therefore of interest to synthesize ligands containing imidazole and related heterocyclic system (Tan et al., 1997; Kapinos et al., 1998; Matthews et al., 1998). Imidazole and its derivatives are an important class of heterocycle with N-donor atoms, therefore the investigation of mixed-ligand complexes of a variety of transitional metal ions with imidazole and its derivatives has attracted considerable interest in recent years. The copper-imidazole systems have demonstrated capacities for construction of inorganic-organic hybrid supramolecular isomers (Huang et al., 2004; Huang et al., 2005), and also have profound effects on functions in biological systems (Holm et al., 1996). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, a mixed-ligand CuII complex.

The crystal structure of the title compound contains distorted CuII complexes in which individual Cu centres exist in a CuN2N'2N'' donor set that defines a distorted trigonal bipyramid geometry. The two N atoms of pyridyl rings and the N atom of imidazole coordinate in a plane around the Cu atom. The N atoms of the two imidazole rings distribute in the axial positions; the Cu1—N2 distance is 1.990 (3) Å. The imidazole ligand is not a ordered system, and the imidazole ring is disordered over two orientations. Two of the perchlorate ion sites (containing Cl1 and Cl2) are located on a twofold rotation axis, and one of these (containing Cl1) displays disorder.

The N3 atom of 4,5-dimethyl-2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole form two hydrogen bonds with the O atom of perchlorate. The N6 atom and N8 atom also each form a hydrogen bond with the O atom of perchlorate; details are presented in Table 2. A two-dimensional infinite network of hydrogen-bonded molecules is present in the structure, running parallel to the ab-plane.

Experimental top

The title complex was synthesized by the reaction of 4,5-dimethyl-2- (2-pyridyl)imidazole (0.52 g, 3.0 mmol) and imidazole (0.10 g, 1.5 mmol) with copper(II) perchlorate (0.50 g, 1.5 mmol) dissolved in the methanol (20 ml). Single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by evaporation of the methanol solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

All H atoms were allowed to ride on their parent atoms at distances of 0.96Å (methyl H), 0.93Å (pyridyl H), 0.93Å (imidazole H) and 0.86Å (N—H imidazole), and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2–1.5 times Ueq of the parent atom.

Special details top

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.
