A novel one-dimensional CuII coordination polymer, catena-poly[bis­(μ4-3-{[2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxido­benzyl­idene)­hydrazinylidene]­methyl}­benzene-1,2-diolato)­dimethanol­tricopper(II)], [Cu3(C14H10N2O4)2(CH3OH)2]n, (I), was constructed with a di-Schiff base supported centrosymmetric trinuclear CuII subunit. In the subunit, two peripheral symmetry-related CuII cations have square-pyramidal CuNO4 geometry and the central third CuII cation lies on an inversion centre with octahedral CuN2O4 geometry. In (I), each partially deproton­ated di-Schiff base 3-{[2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxido­benzyl­idene)­hy­dra­zinyl­idene]­methyl}­benzene-1,2-diolate ligand (Hbcaz3−) acts as a hepta­dentate ligand to bind the CuII centres into chains along the a axis. A centrosymmetric Cu2O2 unit containing an asymmetrically bridging O atom, being axial at one Cu atom and equatorial at the other Cu atom, links the trinuclear CuII subunit into a one-dimensional chain, which is reinforced by intra­molecular phenol–methanol O—H...O and methanol–phenolate O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Interchain π–π stacking interactions between pyrocatechol units, with a distance of 3.5251 (18) Å, contribute to the stability of the crystal packing.

Comment top

Significant interest in the coordination chemistry of polydentate Schiff bases arises not only from their ability to construct metal–organic molecular architectures using their N- and O-atom donors (Li et al., 2003; Winpenny, 1998; Dong et al., 2000), but also from their potential applications in enantioselective processes (Sreerama et al., 2007), magnetic materials (Andruh 2011), DNA binding and cleavage activities (Kou et al., 2009), antimicrobial and antitumour activities (Poulter et al., 2011), antiradical activity (Puterova et al., 2011) and organic catalysts (Mukherjee et al., 2011). The design of these polydentate ligands remains an important element for assembling coordination polymers with fascinating topologies (Yang et al., 2009). Compared with the widely used mono-Schiff bases (Jeewoth et al., 1999), di-Schiff bases have two or more phenol –OH groups at the terminal positions and one aliphatic imine group between the aromatic rings, and therefore can exhibit diverse coordination modes of the metal ions and a concomitant tendency to form homo- and heteropolynuclear coordination complexes. In addition, they bear flexible skeletons, which can rotate freely around the C—N and N—N single bonds to meet the requirements of the coordination geometries of the metal ions in the assembly process.

The above considerations focused our attention on the polydentate di-Schiff base 3,3'-[(1E,2E)-hydrazinediylidenebis(methanylylidene)]di(benzene-1,2-diol) (H4bcaz), which has been synthesized to assemble dinuclear triple-stranded helicates with TiIV and VIV cations in the presence of alkali metal carbonate (Albrecht et al., 2003; Siegers et al., 2004). However, other metal complexes of this versatile di-Schiff base ligand have rarely been investigated. Polydentate Schiff base metal complexes usually contain mono- or binuclear metal subunits (Mandal et al., 1989; Ryan et al., 1998), but Schiff base metal complexes with higher nuclearity are very difficult to achieve (Zou et al., 2011). Remarkably, the H4bcaz ligand has four phenol –OH and two imine N coordination sites, of which the four phenol –OH groups can deprotonate, depending on the reaction conditions, so its coordination modes are difficult to control and predict when coordinating to metal centres. Based on the above points and as part of our continuing investigations of coordination polymers (Sun et al., 2009; Dai et al., 2008), we have here used H4bcaz to assemble a CuII one-dimensional coordination polymer, namely catena-poly[bis(µ4-3-{[2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxidobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]methyl}benzene-1,2-diolato)dimethanoltricopper(II)], (I), in which a triply deprotonated form of H4bcaz binds three CuII cations to form a rare trinuclear CuII subunit.

As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit of (I) contains two crystallographically independent CuII centres, with one lying on a site of 1 symmetry, one Hbcaz3- ligand and one coordinated methanol molecule. The central Cu1 atom is six-coordinated in an octahedral environment, in which the four in-plane donors are two phenolate O atoms and two imine N atoms belonging to two inversion-related Hbcaz3- ligands, and the axial positions are occupied by O atoms from two methanol molecules. The coordinations of the outer CuII centres obviously have an identical CuNO4 ligand environment, owing to inversion symmetry. This geometry of the outer CuII centres could be described as a slightly distorted square-pyramid comprising four phenolate O and one N imine atom. The distortion of the CuNO4 square pyramid is indicated by the calculated value of the τ5 parameter (Addison et al., 1984), which is 0.014 for atom Cu2 (for ideal square-pyramidal geometry, τ5 = 0).

The Cu···Cu separation between nearest neighbours is 3.3396 (3) Å, which is longer than that of a similar trinuclear CuII subunit with acetate bridging at the axial positions (Chiari et al., 1985). The equatorial Cu—O bond lengths in the CuII coordination environment range from 1.8795 (17) to 1.9459 (16) Å and the axial Cu—O bond lengths, with an average value of 2.498 (9) Å, are obviously longer than those in the equatorial plane, indicating the Jahn–Teller effect for both CuII centres (Murphy & Hathaway, 2003). The Cu—N bond length has an average value of 1.99 (4) Å (Table 1). The ligand adopts a twisted conformation, with a C8—N2—N1—C7 torsion angle of 42.6 (3)° around the N2—N1 bond.

It is clear from the structure of (I) that each H4bcaz molecule is partially deprotonated to form the Hbcaz3- trianion, which acts as a pentadentate ligand (three phenolate O-atom donors and two imine N-atom donors) to chelate three CuII centres, giving a centrosymmetric trinuclear CuII subunit. One of the two axial Cu—O bonds plays a crucial role in extending the trinuclear CuII subunits into a one-dimensional chain along the a axis (Fig. 2). In addition, two types of intrachain O—H···O hydrogen bonds are observed within the one-dimensional chain, viz. phenol–methanol O—H···O and methanol–phenolate O—H···O (first and second entries, respectively, in Table 2), and these also play an important role in stabilizing the one-dimensional chain. According to graph-set notation (Bernstein et al., 1995), the two types of intrachain O—H···O hydrogen bond form a cyclic R22(9) motif. The crystal packing of the one-dimensional chains is primarily dominated by van der Waals interactions; no ππ or C—H···π interactions are observed in the crystal structure.

The linear trinuclear CuII subunit of (I) is very different from that of the previously reported discrete complex [Cu3(H2L)(L)].2H2O, (II) [H4L is N,N'-bis(3-hydroxysalicylidene)butane-1,4-diamine; Sanmart et al., 1999], where the three CuII centres are held together by two phenolate bridges to form an isosceles triangle with a Cu···Cu separation of 3.413 (3) Å, which is longer than the shortest Cu···Cu separation in (I). The formation of different trinuclear CuII subunits could be attributed to the existence of the long –(CH2)4– spacer between two imine groups in H4L, which allows H4L to twist and so achieves in (II) an isosceles triangle arrangement of three CuII centres, instead of the linear arrangement found in (I).

Experimental top

H4bcaz was synthesized by a modification of the procedure of Albrecht et al. (2003). 2,3-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde (2.76 g, 20.0 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid (20 mg) and hydrazine hydrate (600 mg, 12.00 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (68 ml). After heating overnight with continuous removal of water by distillation, and subsequent cooling to room temperature, the precipitated product was filtered off, giving 2.58 g (95% yield) of an orange solid. 1H NMR (300MHz CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 10.85 (s, br, 2H), 9.39 (s, br, 2H), 8.95 (s, 2H), 7.11 (dd, 2H), 6.94 (dd, 2H), 6.77 (t, 2H). A mixture of Cu(NO3)2.3H2O (30 mg 0.12 mmol) and H4bcaz (20 mg, 0.07 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (20 ml) and the solution was stirred until complete dissolution. The solution was then filtered and the filtrate was capped and allowed to stand at room temperature. Black crystals of (I) were collected after about one week (yield 47%, based on H4bcaz).

Refinement top

C-bound H atoms were placed geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.96 (methyl) or 0.93 Å (aromatic and methylene), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms of the methanol ligand and the hydroxy group were found in a difference Fourier map and refined with an O—H distance restraint of 0.82 (2) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

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.

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 > 2sigma(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.
