2-(Pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)ethanamine (0.2111 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml of ethanol. To the resulting solution, Cu(SO4).5H2O (0.2497 g, 1 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The green solution was filtered off and left for slow evaporation. Crystals that separated from the green solution, were filtered off and recrystallized from dimethylformamide. On standing for two weeks, crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained. Yield: 74.5%. Anal. Calc. for [C13H23N3O9SCu] (%): C, 33.87; H, 5.03; N, 9.12; S, 6.96. Found: C, 33.84; H, 5.01; N, 9.09; S, 6.98. Decomposition point: 305 °C. Selected IR data (cm-1, KBr pellet): 3445 s (νOH), 1646 s (νC═N), 1598 m, 1109 m (νasSO4), 774 m.
H atoms of the water molecule were located in the Fourier difference maps and refined with O—H distance restraints of 0.82 (2) Å. Additional H···O distance restraints were used for H atoms of two water molecules (O8W and O9W). H atoms of =CH and CH2 groups were placed geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H distantces between 0.93 and 0.97 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
The title complex, [Cu(SO4)(H2O)(C13H13N3)](H2O)4, was obtained by mixing copper sulfate pentahydrate and 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)ethanamine in ethanol under reflux conditions. It consists of a mononuclear Cu(II) complex and solvate water molecules with one neutral complex molecule and four not coordinated water molecules in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The Cu(II) ion displays a six coordinated-geometry where the Cu atom is coordinated by three nitrogen atoms from the ligand molecule, two O atoms from the SO42- sulfate moiety and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule. The bond distances between the N atoms and the metal ion vary between 1.965 (3) Å [Cu1—N3] and 2.030 (3) Å [Cu1—N1]. These values are comparable to the bond lengths in a similar copper complex [1.971 (4)–2.021 (3) Å] (de Bettencourt-Dias et al., 2010). The Cu—O bond distance for Cu1—O1 of the sulfate ion is 1.963 (2) Å, which is in the typical range (Liu et al., 2010). The remaining positions are occupied by one O atom from a coordinated water molecule (Cu—O = 2.230 (3) Å) and one weakly coordinated O (Cu—O = 2.750 (2) Å) atom from the bidentate sulfate ion. The angle between the central metal ion and the O atoms [O1—Cu1—O5W] is equal to 98.24 (10) °. The angles between the CuII ion and the coordinating N atoms vary between 80.77 (13) ° [N3—Cu1—N1] and 174.29 (12) ° [N2—Cu1—N1]. The Cu(II) center of the molecule complex thus adopts a distorted octahedral geometry. Atoms [N1, N2, N3, O1] are arranged in the equatorial plane with some deviations from the ideal geometry. The axial positions are occupied by the oxygen atom of the coordinated water molecule and one O atom from the bidentate sulfate. The axial bond lengths between the CuII ion and the O atoms are considerably longer than the equatorial bond distances between the CuII ion and the O atom of the sulfate ligand as a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect (Jahn & Teller, 1937).
The sulfate anion has a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry due to the fact that two of the oxygen atoms of the sulfate group are coordinated to the metal center, with one of the Cu—O distances being considerably longer than the other one (1.963 (2) and 2.750 (2) Å). The S—O bond lengths (S—O4 = 1.450 (3); S—O3 = 1.459 (3); S—O2 = 1.462 (3) and S—O1 = 1.517 (2) Å) indicate a S—O single bond for the tightly copper bonded O atom and S—O bonds between single and double bond character for the other three. The O—S—O angles, which range from 107.01 (15) to 111.23 (16) °, are close to the ideal tetrahedral angle value of 109.5 °.
Neighboring [Cu(SO4)(H2O)(C13H13N3)] units are connected with each other through hydrogen bonds creating double chains that stretch parallel to the c axis direction (Fig 2, Fig. 3). The coordinated water molecules are connected with complexes through OW—H···O—SO3 hydrogen bonds between O5W and O2 and O1 of neighboring complexes' sulfate ions. The double chains thus created are in addition connected with each other through O—H···O hydrogen bonds mediated by the uncoordinated water molecule of O7W which acts as bridge between two sulfate groups of two molecules belonging to parallel strands of the double chains (SO3—O···H—OW—H···O—SO3) (Table 1). The interstitial space between the double chains is filled by the three remaining lattice water molecules which are involved in an intricate hydrogen bonding network that consolidates the crystal packing.

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. |

The title complex, [Cu(SO4)(H2O)(C13H13N3)](H2O)4, was obtained by mixing copper sulfate pentahydrate and 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)ethanamine in ethanol under reflux conditions. It consists of a mononuclear Cu(II) complex and solvate water molecules with one neutral complex molecule and four not coordinated water molecules in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The Cu(II) ion displays a six coordinated-geometry where the Cu atom is coordinated by three nitrogen atoms from the ligand molecule, two O atoms from the SO42- sulfate moiety and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule. The bond distances between the N atoms and the metal ion vary between 1.965 (3) Å [Cu1—N3] and 2.030 (3) Å [Cu1—N1]. These values are comparable to the bond lengths in a similar copper complex [1.971 (4)–2.021 (3) Å] (de Bettencourt-Dias et al., 2010). The Cu—O bond distance for Cu1—O1 of the sulfate ion is 1.963 (2) Å, which is in the typical range (Liu et al., 2010). The remaining positions are occupied by one O atom from a coordinated water molecule (Cu—O = 2.230 (3) Å) and one weakly coordinated O (Cu—O = 2.750 (2) Å) atom from the bidentate sulfate ion. The angle between the central metal ion and the O atoms [O1—Cu1—O5W] is equal to 98.24 (10) °. The angles between the CuII ion and the coordinating N atoms vary between 80.77 (13) ° [N3—Cu1—N1] and 174.29 (12) ° [N2—Cu1—N1]. The Cu(II) center of the molecule complex thus adopts a distorted octahedral geometry. Atoms [N1, N2, N3, O1] are arranged in the equatorial plane with some deviations from the ideal geometry. The axial positions are occupied by the oxygen atom of the coordinated water molecule and one O atom from the bidentate sulfate. The axial bond lengths between the CuII ion and the O atoms are considerably longer than the equatorial bond distances between the CuII ion and the O atom of the sulfate ligand as a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect (Jahn & Teller, 1937).
The sulfate anion has a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry due to the fact that two of the oxygen atoms of the sulfate group are coordinated to the metal center, with one of the Cu—O distances being considerably longer than the other one (1.963 (2) and 2.750 (2) Å). The S—O bond lengths (S—O4 = 1.450 (3); S—O3 = 1.459 (3); S—O2 = 1.462 (3) and S—O1 = 1.517 (2) Å) indicate a S—O single bond for the tightly copper bonded O atom and S—O bonds between single and double bond character for the other three. The O—S—O angles, which range from 107.01 (15) to 111.23 (16) °, are close to the ideal tetrahedral angle value of 109.5 °.
Neighboring [Cu(SO4)(H2O)(C13H13N3)] units are connected with each other through hydrogen bonds creating double chains that stretch parallel to the c axis direction (Fig 2, Fig. 3). The coordinated water molecules are connected with complexes through OW—H···O—SO3 hydrogen bonds between O5W and O2 and O1 of neighboring complexes' sulfate ions. The double chains thus created are in addition connected with each other through O—H···O hydrogen bonds mediated by the uncoordinated water molecule of O7W which acts as bridge between two sulfate groups of two molecules belonging to parallel strands of the double chains (SO3—O···H—OW—H···O—SO3) (Table 1). The interstitial space between the double chains is filled by the three remaining lattice water molecules which are involved in an intricate hydrogen bonding network that consolidates the crystal packing.
