Crystal structure of di-μ-chlorido-bis­[chlorido­bis­(1,2-dimethyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole-κN ³)copper(II)] acetonitrile disolvate

1,2-Dimethyl-5-nitro­imidazole (dimetridazole, dimet) reacts with copper(II) chloride to give dinuclear [Cu(dimet)₂(μ-Cl)Cl]₂, in which each copper moiety is coordinated to two dimet ligands in a trans arrangement.

Abstract

1,2-Dimethyl-5-nitro­imidazole (dimetridazole, dimet) is a compound that belongs to a class of nitro­imidazole drugs that are effective at inhibiting the activity of certain parasites and bacteria. However, there are few reports that describe structures of compounds that feature metals complexed by dimet. Therefore, we report here that dimet reacts with CuCl₂·H₂O to yield a chloride-bridged copper(II) dimer, [Cu₂Cl₄(C₅H₇N₃O₂)₄] or [Cu(μ-Cl)Cl(dimet)₂]₂. In this mol­ecule, the Cu^II ions are coordinated in an approximately trigonal–bipyramidal manner, and the mol­ecule lies across an inversion center. The dihedral angle between the imidazole rings in the asymmetric unit is 4.28 (7)°. Compared to metronidazole, dimetridazole lacks the hy­droxy­ethyl group, and thus cannot form inter­molecular O⋯H hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. Instead, [Cu(μ-Cl)Cl(dimet)₂]₂ exhibits weak inter­molecular inter­actions between the hydrogen atoms of C—H groups and (i) oxygen in the nitro groups, and (ii) the terminal and bridging chloride ligands. The unit cell contains four disordered aceto­nitrile mol­ecules. These were modeled as providing a diffuse contribution to the overall scattering by SQUEEZE [Spek (2015 ▸). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18], which identified two voids, each with a volume of 163 ų and a count of 46 electrons, indicative of a total of four aceto­nitrile mol­ecules. These aceto­nitrile mol­ecules are included in the chemical formula to give the expected calculated density and F(000).

Chemical context  

1,2-Dimethyl-5-nitro­imidazole, also known as dimetridazole (dimet), is structurally related to metronidazole [2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanol, MET]. Thus, both compounds contain a 2-methyl-5-nitro­imidazole core and are only differentiated according to whether one of the nitro­gen atoms possesses a methyl substituent (as in dimet) or a hy­droxy­ethyl substituent (as in MET), as illustrated in Fig. 1 ▸. Both MET and dimet are used to treat microbial infections, but dimet has specifically been used in animals for the treatment of, for instance, bovine trichomoniasis (McLoughlin, 1968 ▸), giardiasis in birds (Panigrahy et al., 1978 ▸) and swine dysentery (Messier et al., 1990 ▸). In order to control outbreaks of infection, a previous common practice was to incorporate dimet as a feed additive given, for example, to poultry and pigs (Buizer & Severijnen, 1975 ▸). However, concerns about the mutagenic properties displayed by this class of drug (Voogd et al., 1974 ▸), and the fact that trace amounts can be detected in certain animal products intended for human consumption (Arias et al., 2016 ▸), have led to a discontinuation of this practice (EC bans use of dimetridazole in food animals, 1995 ▸). Reports of structures of metal compounds involving the coordination by dimetridazole are scarce. Herein, we describe the structure of the copper compound [Cu(μ-Cl)Cl(dimet)₂]₂, which is obtained by the reaction of dimet with CuCl₂·H₂O (see Scheme).

Structural commentary  

Crystals of composition [Cu(μ-Cl)Cl(dimet)₂]₂ were obtained by addition of dimet to CuCl₂·2H₂O in chloro­form, followed by recrystallization of the blue precipitate from aceto­nitrile. The molecular structure, as illustrated in Fig. 2 ▸, shows a centrosymmetric chlorido-bridged dimer. The coordination geometry around each copper atom is a slightly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal with two axial dimet ligands, and three chlorine ligands in the equatorial plane, two of which bridge to the adjacent copper. This structure is analogous to a previously reported copper(II) dimer containing MET, instead of dimet, [Cu(MET)₂(μ–Cl)Cl]₂ (Barba-Behrens et al., 1991 ▸), and a comparison of the two structures is shown in Fig. 3 ▸. Other recent examples of metal compounds containing MET include: Cu(MET)₂Cl₂, [Ag(MET)₂](BF₄), and [H(MET)][AuCl₄] (Palmer et al., 2015 ▸; Palmer & Upmacis, 2015 ▸; Quinlivan et al., 2015 ▸).

Examination of the structure of the [Cu(μ-Cl)Cl(dimet)₂]₂ complex demonstrates that, inter­estingly, the chlorine atoms bridge in an asymmetric manner, with Cu—Cl_bridge bond lengths of 2.3811 (3) and 2.6024 (3) Å, both of which are longer than the terminal Cu—Cl bond length of 2.2822 (3) Å. Of note, these features are also observed for the MET analog, [Cu(MET)₂(μ–Cl)Cl]₂, which possesses bridging Cu—Cl distances of 2.418 (1) and 2.619 (1) Å, and a terminal bond length of 2.297 (2) Å (Barba-Behrens et al., 1991 ▸). Furthermore, the Cu—N bond lengths [2.0009 (10) and 1.9914 (9) Å] are also similar to the Cu—N bond lengths reported for the MET analog [2.002 (4) and 1.993 (4) Å]. In terms of the bond angles, the N—Cu—Cl_term and N—Cu—Cl_bridge angles are all close to 90° [ranging from 88.95 (3)° for N13—Cu—Cl1 to 91.85 (3)° for N23—Cu—Cl2], with the exception of N23—Cu—Cl2_bridge which is 85.42 (3) Å.

Supra­molecular features  

The crystal structure displays a number of weak inter­molecular inter­actions between hydrogen atoms of CH groups and the more electronegative atoms on adjacent mol­ecules, such as the oxygen atoms in the nitro groups of the dimet ligand and also the terminal and bridging chlorine atoms (see Table 1 ▸ and Fig. 4 ▸). In this regard, one of the oxygen atoms of the nitro group participates in inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions with CH₃ and CH groups of an adjacent mol­ecule. For reference, inter­molecular and intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving an O atom from a nitro group (or other O-containing groups) have been reported (Desiraju, 1991 ▸; Sharma & Desiraju, 1994 ▸; Forlani, 2009 ▸). As an illustration, inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions (involving C—H motifs from an NMe₂ substituent and the O atoms of a nitro group) are reported at 2.71 (3) Å, with C⋯O distances of 3.658 (4) and 3.725 (4) Å (Sharma & Desiraju, 1994 ▸). The results of our structure analysis are also comparable to the average values that have been reported for hydrogen-bonding inter­actions of (N,C)Csp ²—H (2.48 and 3.47 Å) and Csp ³—CH₃ (2.63 and 3.61 Å) groups with a water O atom (Steiner, 2002 ▸). For comparison, intra­molecular N—H⋯O inter­actions to an O atom of a nitro substituent form shorter contacts, e.g. 1.927 (15) Å for N-(2-nitro­phen­yl)benzamide (Saeed & Simpson, 2009 ▸) and 2.11 Å for 2-iodo-N-(2-nitro­phen­yl)benzamide (Wardell et al., 2005 ▸), which is in accord with the reports that C—H⋯O bonds are weaker than N—H⋯O bonds (Desiraju, 1991 ▸).

The bridging chlorine atoms also form weak inter­molecular inter­actions with CH₃ and CH groups of an adjacent mol­ecule. In addition, the terminal chlorine atom participates in a hydrogen-bonding inter­action with a CH₃ group of an adjacent mol­ecule.

While C—H⋯O inter­actions are widely accepted (Desiraju, 1991 ▸), C—H⋯Cl inter­actions are considered more controversial, but a survey of the literature reveals that they also represent a common phenomenon (Aakeröy et al., 1999 ▸). For example, hydrogen-bonding inter­actions of sp ² (N,C)C—H with Cl⁻ are reported at 2.64 Å (Kovacs & Varga, 2006 ▸). However, when Cl is bonded to a metal, the average C—H⋯Cl—M hydrogen-bonding distance is 2.974 Å (Thallapally & Nangia, 2001 ▸).

Fig. 4 ▸ illustrates some of these inter­molecular inter­actions. An important difference between this structure and the MET analog is that the dimet compound lacks the hy­droxy­ethyl group, which is involved in classical inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions for the MET derivative (Barba-Behrens et al., 1991 ▸).

Database survey  

There is only one structurally characterized metal compound containing dimet listed in the Cambridge Database (CSD Version 5.37; Groom et al., 2016 ▸), namely, a mononuclear cobalt complex, [Co(dimet)₂Cl₂], in which the cobalt(II) atom is surrounded by two dimet and two chlorido ligands in a distorted tetra­hedron (Rosu et al., 1997 ▸; Idešicová et al., 2012 ▸). The Co—N distances are reported to be 2.228 (2) and 2.035 (4) Å (Rosu et al., 1997 ▸).

Synthesis and crystallization  

CuCl₂·H₂O (3 mg, 0.018 mmol) was added to a solution of dimet (6 mg, 0.043 mmol) in chloro­form (0.7 mL), resulting in the precipitation of a blue solid over the course of 1 h at room temperature. The blue solid was isolated by deca­ntation and crystals of [Cu(μ-Cl)Cl(dimet)₂]₂, suitable for X-ray diffraction, were obtained by slow evaporation from a solution in aceto­nitrile.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. Hydrogen atoms on carbon were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å) and included as riding contributions with isotropic displacement parameters U _iso(H) = 1.2U _eq(Csp ²) or 1.5U _eq(Csp ³). The unit cell contains four disordered aceto­nitrile mol­ecules. In view of the disorder, the aceto­nitrile mol­ecules were modeled as providing a diffuse contribution to the overall scattering by SQUEEZE (Spek, 2015 ▸), which identified two voids, each with a volume of 163 ų and a count of 46 electrons, indicative of a total of four aceto­nitrile mol­ecules.

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
