The title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C16H12N2)]n, was synthesised under hydro­thermal conditions. The CuI ion shows distorted tetra­hedral geometry being coordinated by two N atoms from a 5-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand and by the N and S atoms from two different thio­cyanate anions. The CuI ions are bridged by thio­cyanide groups, forming a one-dimensional coordination polymer along the b axis. The crystal packing is through van der Waals contacts and C—H...π inter­actions.

Comment top

The title compound [Cu(SCN)(5-ph-2,2'-bpy)]n(I), was synthesised under hydrothermal conditions. In the complex, the CuI ion shows distorted tetrahedral geometry coordinated by two N atoms from a 5-ph-2,2,-bpy ligand, N and S atoms from the different thiocyanate anions (Fig.1 and Table 1). The CuIions are bridged by thiocyanide groups to form a one-dimensional coordination polymeric along the b axis (Fig. 2). Crystal packing is through van der Waals contacts and C-H···π interaction [C17-H···Cg(C12C17)symmetry operation: 1/2+x,3/2-y,1-z with geometric parameters H···Cg of 2.92 Å, C17···Cg of 3.757 (3) Å, and C17-H···Cg of 150 °].

Experimental top

A mixture of Cu(Ac)2 (0.086 g, 0.64 mmol), 5-ph-2,2'-bpy (0.0231 g, 0.1 mmol), KSCN (0.059 g, 0.6 mmol), and water (8 mL) was added to a 15-mL Teflon-lined autoclave and heated at 443 K for 3 d. The autoclave was then cooled to room temperature. Red block crystals of (I) deposited on the wall of container were collected and air-dried.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms bound to carbon were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model with an isotropic displacement parameter fixed at 1.2 times Ueq for the atom to which they are attached.

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.
