Keywords: crystal structure, trigonal prismatic hexa­nuclear copper pyrazolate, μ6-Cl coordination, chloride encapsulation

Abstract

The hexa­nuclear title compound, [{Cu33-OCH3)(μ-C3H2ClN2)3}2(μ-C3H2ClN2)36-Cl)] or [Cu6(C3H2ClN2)9(CH3O)2Cl], crystallizes in the space group Pbcn, with individual mol­ecules being located on a twofold rotation axis. The mol­ecule adopts a trigonal prismatic shape, with two trinuclear units linked by three 4-chloro­pyrazolate ligand bridges by encapsulating a Cl anion in a μ6-coordination mode. In the crystal, individual mol­ecules are stacked into rods parallel to [1-10] that are arranged in a pseudo-hexa­gonal packing. Cohesion between mol­ecules is accomplished through weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions.

Chemical context  

Multinuclear transition metal ion complexes often have inter­esting properties, such as magnetic, electrochemical, and catalytic functions. N-donor ligands have coordination plast­icity and large affinity for transition metals, and their employment has provided structures of various nuclearities and dimensionalities, which have been shown to be of inter­est in catalysis, bio-inorganic chemistry and mol­ecular magnetism. There have been several reports concerning multinuclear copper(II) complexes supported by pyrazolato (pz) bridging ligands. In this context, we have investigated a family of redox-active Cu6-pyrazolato complexes with trigonal prismatic shapes (Mezei et al., 2007; Zueva et al., 2009), including one with a μ6-F central ligand (Mathivathanan et al., 2015). In connection with our earlier work, the title compound, [{Cu33-OCH3)(μ-C3H2N2Cl)3}2((μ-C3H2N2Cl)36-Cl)], has been prepared recently; it contains an encapsulated μ6-Cl ligand at the center of the hexa­nuclear complex.graphic file with name e-73-00266-scheme1.jpg

Structural commentary  

The crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1) consists of two trinuclear [Cu33-OMe)(μ-4-Cl-pz)3]2+ (OMe is a methoxide, 4-Cl-pz a 4-chloro­pyrazolato ligand) units bridged by three μ-4-Cl-pz ligands; the complete mol­ecule adopts .2. point group symmetry. The six CuII ions form a trigonal prismatic array and a chloride ion is located at the center of the cage, coordinating to the two {Cu}3 units in a μ6 mode. All six CuII atoms are five-coordinate with distorted square-pyramidal N3OCl coordination sets with the Cl atom occupying the apical position. Each Cu3 triangle is capped by an OMe group with the O atom 0.8472 (1) Å above the Cu3 plane, a somewhat smaller deviation from the Cu3 plane than the one found in the previously reported structure of [{Cu33-OMe)(μ-pz)3}2(μ-pz)36-Cl)], where μ3-bridging meth­oxy groups are located ca 1.0 Å above this plane (Kamiyama et al., 2002). The distance between two Cu3 planes is 3.3858 (2) Å. The six Cu—O bond lengths range from 2.033 (2)–2.044 (2) Å, while the Cu—O—Cu angles are in the 102.70 (10)–105.62 (10)° range. The Cu⋯Cu distances within each triangle, 3.1801 (9)–3.2526 (9) Å, are slightly shorter than those between the triangles, 3.356 (2)–3.401 (2) Å). The μ6-Cl ligand is located close to the center of the trigonal prism defined by the six Cu atoms and non-equidistant from the three pairs of CuII ions. The longest Cu—Cl distance of 2.6222 (13) Å (Cu2) is longer than the sum of the ionic radii (2.38 Å), indicating that the two [Cu33-OMe)(μ-4-Cl-pz)3]2+ units are not templated by the encapsulated chloride. The other two Cu—Cl bond lengths are 2.424 (2) (Cu1) and 2.4859 (13) Å.

Differences in structural parameters between the four known {Cu6-pyrazolato} complexes with trigonal prismatic shape are compiled in Table 1. The inter-trimer and intra-trimer Cu⋯Cu distances are shorter in the title compound than those in the [Cu6Cl] compound reported earlier with 4-H-pz as a ligand (Kamiyama et al., 2002), indicating the effect of electron-withdrawing Cl-substitution of the pyrazolato ligands. The Cu—N distances of the pyrazolato ligands connecting the two trimers are longer compared to those in {Cu66-F} (Mathivathanan et al., 2015) or {Cu66-Cl} (Kamiyama et al., 2002). However, the Cu—N distances are similar to those in the empty Cu6-pyrazolato cage (Mezei et al., 2007).

Supra­molecular features  

In the trigonal prismatic mol­ecules, the six pyrazolato ligands of the eclipsed {Cu3-pyrazolato} trimers exhibit weak π–π stacking inter­actions, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.8489 (6) and 3.6059 (6) Å. These distances are comparable to the ones found in the Cu6-pyrazolato complex with no encapsulated anion, where the pyrazolato ring centroids are 3.741 (6), 3.700 (6) and 3.680 (6) Å apart (Mezei et al., 2007).

While conventional hydrogen bonds are absent in the structure, there are three weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl inter­actions observed in the crystal structure (Fig. 2 and Table 2). Individual {Cu66 -Cl}-mol­ecules are stacked in rods parallel to [1Inline graphic0] that, in turn, are arranged in a pseudo-hexa­gonal packing (Fig. 3).

Database survey  

Polynuclear complexes with a μ6-coordinating halide anion are not uncommon. However, they are rarely encountered in a trigonal prismatic environment. According to the Cambridge Structure Database (Groom et al., 2016), only three hexa­nuclear Cu6-cages with a μ6-coordinating halide anion have been reported in the literature: [{Cu33-OMe)(μ-pz)3}2(μ-pz)36-Cl)] (pz = pyrazole; Kamiyama et al., 2002), [{Cu33-OMe)(μ-3,5-Me2pz)3}26-F)(μ2-OH)] (3,5-Me2pz =3,5-di­methyl­pyrazolato; Cañon-Mancisidor et al., 2014) and [{Cu33-OH)(μ-pz)3}2(μ-3,5-Ph2pz)36-F)] (Mathivathanan et al., 2015).

Synthesis and crystallization  

The complex was formed in an one-pot reaction when CuCl2·2H2O (0.06 mmol, 10.2 mg), 4-Cl-pzH (0.09 mmol, 8.9 mg) and ethyl­amine (0.08 mmol, 11.3 µl) were stirred in 10 ml CH2Cl2 for 24 h at ambient temperature. The green solution was transferred to a test tube after filtration. A 4 ml 1:1 mixture of CH2Cl2:MeOH (v/v) was layered over the CH2Cl2 layer, 1,2-di(4-pyrid­yl)ethyl­ene (1,2-bpe) (0.01mmol, 1.9 mg) in 4 ml MeOH was added as the third layer on top of the lower two. Suitable crystals for X-ray diffraction were obtained one week later. Yield: 29%. Analysis calculated/found for C29H24Cl10Cu6N18O2: C, 25.15/25.22; H,1.75/1.76; N, 18.22/18.17.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3. Hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined with a riding model. Structure refinement indicates a minimum (−1.56 e Å−3) near the μ6-Cl atom (Cl6), which decreases if the structure is refined with a free site-occupation factor for this atom. This can be explained if some of the Cu6-cages (< 10%) are vacant. Such a discrepancy is within the experimental error of the CHN elemental analysis, and we decided to refine the model with full occupancy for this Cl atom. In the final cycles, restraints were applied to obtain acceptable Uij parameters for Cl6.

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.
