(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ²N,N′){N-[2-oxido-5-(phenyldiazenyl)benzylidene-κO]glycinato-κ²N,O}copper(II)

Q.-X. Zhang, G.-Q. Zhao, J.-Q. Zhu, L.-W. Xue and Y.-J. Han

In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₅H₁₁N₃O₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)], the Cu^II atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal CuN₃O₂ geometry. The basal positions are occupied by three donor atoms from the tridentate Schiff base ligand and by one N atom from the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The axial position is occupied by the other N atom of the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The crystal structure is consolidated by weak C—H

O hydrogen bonds. In addition, π–π interactions between adjacent pyridine rings (centroid–centroid distances = 3.238 and 3.313 Å) may also stabilize the crystal packing.

Comment top

Considerable efforts have been devoted to copper(II) complexes of tridentate Schiff base ligands of the N-alkylidene or N-arylidene aminoacidato type. These compound are interesting in terms of their structural varieties, their electrochemical properties as well as their nature as potential model substances for a number of important biological systems (Raso et al., 1996, 1999). Several stuctural studies have been performed on Schiff base copper(II) complexes derived from salicylaldehyde and animo acids (Reddy et al., 2002; Wang et al., 2005; Warda, 1997, 1998a,b,c). We report here the crystal structure of the title Cu^II complex.

The structure consists of a discrete monomeric square-pyramidal Cu^II complex (Fig. 1 and Table 1). The basal positions are occupied by three donor atoms from the tridentate Schiff base ligand, which furnishes an ONO donor set, with the fourth position occupied by one N atom from the 2, 2'-bipyridine ligand. The axial position is occupied by the other N atom of the 2, 2'-bipyridine igand. The Cu atom is displaced from the O1/O2/N1/N3 basal plane toward the N2 atom by -0.0169 Å.

The 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and the benzene ring (C20···C25) are essentially planar and form a dihedral angle of 92.5° and 15.8°, respectively, with the benzene ring of the Schiff base ligand.

The crystal structure is stabilized by weak hydrogen bonds, such as C4—H4···O2 (3.082 Å), C3—H3···O1 (3.365 Å) and C25—H25···O3 (3.250 Å). The π-π interactions between the adjacent pyridine rings [C1···C9 (3.238 Å) and C2···C10 (3.313 Å)] play important role in the stability of the complex (Fig. 2 and Table 2).

Experimental top

The compound of 5-(phenyldiazenyl)salicylaldehyde was synthesized as described in the literature (Wei et al., 2007). The title compound was synthesized as described in the literature (Plesch et al., 1997): To glycine (1.00 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (1.00 mmol) in 10 ml of methanol was added 5-(phenyldiazenyl)salicylaldehyde (1.00 mmol) in 30 ml of dimethylfomamide dropwise. The yellowish-brown solution was stirred for 2.0 h at 333 K. The resultant mixture was added dropwise to copper(II) acetate monohydrate (1.00 mmol) and 2, 2'-bipyridine (1.00 mmol) in 10 ml of methanol, and heated with stirring for 2.0 h at 333 K. The dark green solution was filtered and left for several days. Dark-green crystals had formed that were filtered off, washed with water, and dried under vacuum.

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.
