Tetra­kis(pyridine-κN)bis­(tetrafluorido­borato-κF)copper(II)

In the title complex, [Cu(BF₄)₂(C₅H₅N)₂], the Cu^II ion is in an octa­hedral coordination environment and is surrounded by four pyridine and two tetra­fluoridoborate mol­ecules. The four pyridine mol­ecules are coordinated to the copper ion through their N atoms in the equatorial plane and display a right-handed screw arrangement around the Cu^II ion. The remaining two trans positions in the octa­hedron are occupied by the BF₄⁻ anions, each coordinating weakly through an F atom. The crystal packing shows a two-dimensional sheet structure parallel to the ab plane that is formed by C—H...F hydrogen-bonding inter­actions.

S1. Comment

X-ray data on complexes of the type [Cu(C₅H₅N)₄Y₂] (Y = ClO₄^-, NO₃^-, BF₄^-, PF₆^-, NCS^-, I₃^-, SO₃CF₃^-, CF₃CO₂^-) started appearing from the 1950's onwards (Ibers, 1953; Brown et al., 1966; Alleyne et al., 1974; Pradilla et al., 1979; Barker et al., 1980; Haynes et al., 1988; Agnus et al., 1994; Beurskens et al., 1995; Li et al., 2004; Bowmaker et al., 2011). Among these complexes, preliminary structural investigations on [Cu(C₅H₅N)₂(BF₄)₂] were carried out by Ibers (Ibers, 1953) but were limited to the unit cell and space group determination. At that time because of the size and complexity of the unit cell no further work was completed. Based on Ibers' analysis, Agnus and co-workers in their paper on the structural determination of the related complex [Cu(C₅H₅N)₄(ClO₄)₂], predicted that the tetrafluoridoborate analogue would also crystalize as a structural enantiomer. A CCDC search reveals that although there have been many reports on Cu^II complexes with the [Cu(C₅H₅N)₄Y₂] structural motif there are no single-crystal X-ray reports with BF₄ as the counter ion (Y = BF₄). Therefore, in the present work we report the single-crystal X-ray analysis of this complex, [Cu(C₅H₅N)₂(BF₄)₂].

The molecular structure of present complex is shown in Fig. 1 along with the atom labelling scheme. In this complex, the four pyridine ligand molecules are coordinating through their nitrogen atoms forming a square plane around the Cu^II center while the remaining two trans positions in the distorted octahedron are occupied by the BF₄ molecules, each coordinating through an F atom. The Cu—N distance varies from 2.009 (4) Å to 2.037 (4) Å while the two long Cu—F trans distances of 2.406 (4) Å and 2.476 (3) Å are consistent with other hexacoordinate Cu^II complexes containing an N₄F₂ donor set (2.394 (3) Å, Su et al., 1994; 2.452 (3) Å, Heier et al., 1998; 2.376 (2) Å, Conner et al., 2006; 2.501 (3) – 2.503 (3) Å, Noro et al., 2011; 2.528 (3) – 2.587 (2) Å, Noro et al., 2009). The dihedral angle values of 47.6 (3)° (N1—Cu1—N4—C25), 58.4 (3)° (N2—Cu1—N1—C6), 40.7 (2)° (N3—Cu1—N2—C1) and 58.3 (3)° (N4—Cu1—N3—C20) indicate a similar orientation for each pyridine ring with respect to the equatorial plane (plane containing the Cu^II and the four coordinated nitrogen atoms). Fig. 2. gives a pictorial view of this similarity in orientation along with confirming the right handed screw arrangement of all the four coordinated pyridine rings. This as predicted by Agnus and co-workers is very similar to the isomorphous perchlorate complex [Cu(C₅H₅N)₄(ClO₄)₂] (Agnus et al., 1994) which also crystalizes in orthorhombic crystal system with P2₁2₁2₁ space group and similar unit-cell parameters. The crystal packing investigations in present complex show a two-dimensional sheet structure parallel to the ab plane is formed by C—H···F hydrogen bonding interactions (Fig. 3, Table 1).

S2. Experimental

Crystals of [Cu(C₅H₅N)₄(BF₄)₂] were obtained by the slow evaporation of a mixed solvent solution (MeOH: H₂O: pyridine, 15: 10: 5 ml respectively) containing copper(II) tetrafluoridoborate hexahydrate (0.345 g, 1.0 mmol). Blue crystals of [Cu(C₅H₅N)₂(BF₄)₂] were obtained after 2–3 weeks from the filtrate.

S3. Refinement

All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. All H atoms were positioned geometrically with C–H = 0.93 and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The crystal studied was an inversion twin with a 0.78 (7):0.22 (7) domain ratio.

Special details

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.
