Poly[μ-chlorido-[μ₄-5-(4-pyrid­yl)tetra­zol­ato]dicopper(I)]

Abstract

The title three-dimensional coordination polymer, [Cu₂Cl(C₆H₄N₅)]_n, is the product of the hydro­thermal reaction of CuCl₂·2H₂O and 5-(4-pyrid­yl)-1H-tetra­zole (4-Hptz). The two independent Cu^I ions are coordinated in distorted tetra­hedral and distorted trigonal coordination environments. In the unique 5-(4-pyrid­yl)-1H-tetra­zolate ligand, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and tetra­zole rings is 17.3 (2)°.

Comment

Tetrazoles have found a wide range of applications in areas as diverse as coordination chemistry, medicinal chemistry and materials science (Butler, 1996). The study of complexes containing substituted tetrazole ligands is of interest to delineate the ways in which tetrazoles bind to metal centres. Recently, a series of 5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-tetrazole complexes of transition metals have been reported in which a range of coordination modes for the ligand were observed and extended two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures identified (Xue et al., 2002; Jiang et al., 2004; Luo et al., 2005; Lin et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2008). Herein, we report the crystal structure of a three-dimensional coordination polymer, [Cu^I₂Cl(4-ptz)]_n, derived from 5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-tetrazole and CuCl₂.2H₂O under hydrothermal reaction.

The asymmetric unit of the title complex contains of two independent Cu^I ions, one Cl^-, and one 4-ptz ligand. As shown in Fig. 1, atom Cu1 adopts distorted tetrahedral geometry with a Cl₂N₂ donor set and atom Cu2 is in a disorted trigonal coordination geometry with an N₂Cl donor set. Atom Cl1 is bonded to three Cu^I atoms, and the 4-ptz ligand coordinates to four Cu^I ions. It is noteworthy that atoms N1, N2, and N3 bond to three Cu^I atoms, respectively, forming a µ₃-1,2,3-tetrazolyl coordination mode. The overall structure of title complex is a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2).

Experimental

A mixture of CuCl₂.2H₂O (0.172 g, 1 mmol), 5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-tetrazole (0.074 g, 0.5 mmol) in 8 ml deionized water was homogenized at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then the final solution was sealed in a 20 mL stainless-steelautoclave at 433 K for 72 h. A quantity of crystals was obtained after the solution was cooled to room temperature. The crystals were filtered, washed with deionized water and dried at room temperature. The yield is ca 64% based on CuCl₂.2H₂O.

Refinement

All H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 and U_iso(H) = 1.2 U_eq(C). The crystal is an inversion twin with the ratio of twin components 0.81 (3):0.19 (3).

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.
