In the structure of the title compound, [CuBr2(C4H6­N2)4]·2H2O, the CuII atoms are surrounded by four 4-methyl­imidazole ligands within a slightly distorted square plane. The coordination sphere is completed by two contacts to bromide ligands which are elongated due to Jahn–Teller distortion. The coordination polyhedra around the CuII cations can be described as strongly distorted octahedral. There are two crystallographically independent half-complexes in the asymmetric unit, in which the CuII cations are located on centres of inversion; the two crystallographically independent 4-methyl­imidazole ligands, the bromide anions and the water mol­ecules occupy general positions. The complexes are connected via N—H...Br, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

In the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), the CuII atoms are coordinated by four N atoms of 4-methylimidazole ligands, forming a slightly distorted quadratic plane. The Cu—N distances of 2.003 (3), 2.014 (3), 1.993 (3) and 2.029 (3) Å are comparable to those in other 4-methylimidazole–copper(II) complexes, such as dichlorotetrakis(4-methylimidazole)copper(II) and dibromotetrakis(4-methylimidazole)copper(II) (Näther et al., 2002a,b), and tetrakis(4-methylimidazolyl)bis(perchlorato-O)copper(II) (Su et al., 1992), as well as tetrakis(4-methylimidazol-1-yl)bis(cyanamidonitrate)copper(II) (Kohout et al., 1999). The coordination sphere of the CuII atoms is completed by two longer contacts to two symmetry equivalent Br atoms located above and below the tetragonal plane. The Cu—Br distances of 3.2851 (8) Å (Cu1—Br1) and 3.1957 (9) Å (Cu2—Br2) are strongly elongated due to Jahn-Teller distortion and the coordination polyhedrons around the CuII atoms can be described as strongly distorted octahedrons. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent half-complexes in which the 4-methylimidazole ligands, the water molecules and the Br atoms occupy general positions, whereas the CuII atoms are located on centres of inversion. In contrast to the non-hydrated compound dibromotetrakis(4-methylimidazole)copper(II) (Näther et al., 2002b), the title compound contains additional water molecules and crystallizes as the dihydrate. Therefore, this compound represents a pseudo-polymorphic modification of the former compound. There are short N—H···Br and O—H···Br distances between the NH H atoms of the 4-methylimidazole ligand, as well as the OH H atoms of the water molecules, and the Br atoms. The distances and angles of this interaction indicate hydrogen bonding. The water molecules are additionally connected to the 4-methylimidazole ligand via N—H···O hydrogen bonding. From all of these intermolecular interactions, a three-dimensional hydrogen bonded network results.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by the reaction of 335.1 mg (4 mmol) 4-methylimidazole and 223.4 mg (1 mmol) copper(II) bromide in 5 ml water. The reaction mixture was stirred over a period of 3 d, filtered and was washed with dimethyl ether. The precipitate consists of a blue crystalline powder and a few blue single crystals which are suitable for X-ray structure determination.

Refinement top

The aromatic H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry (C—H = 0.93 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å). The positions of the methyl H atoms were idealized (C—H = 0.96 Å), then refined as rigid groups allowed to rotate but not tip. The water H atoms were located in the difference map and the bond lengths were set to ideal values (O—H = 0.82 Å). All H atoms were refined with fixed isotropic displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl), 1.5Ueq(O), 1.2Ueq(Cmethylene) or 1.2Ueq(N)], using a riding model. One water O atom is disordered over two positions and these were refined with a split model (O2 and O3) and site-occupation factors of 0.8 for O2 and 0.2 for O3. The H atoms attached to O3 were not considered. Atom O3 was refined with isotropic displacement parameters.

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.
