(Received 7 October 2013; accepted 10 October 2013; online 16 October 2013)

In the title binuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu2(ClO4)2(OH)2(C10H8N2)2], the CuII ion is coordinated in the form of a Jahn–Teller distorted octahedron by two bi­pyridine N atoms, two perchlorate O atoms and two hydroxide O atoms, and displays a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The mol­ecule belongs to the symmetry point group C2h. The CuII ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and the hydroxide and perchlorate ligands are located on a mirror plane. Within the dinuclear mol­ecule, the Cu⋯Cu separation is 2.8614 (7) Å. The crystal structure exhibits O—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and ππ [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5374 (13) Å] inter­actions.

Comment top

Copper complexes have received much attention because of their interesting interactions with biological ligands to generate stable mixed coordinated complexes, which play a key role in life processes such as enzymatic catalysis, storage and conveyance of the matter, transfer of copper ions (Müller et al., 2003; Lo et al., 2000). In the molecular structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond distances Cu1—N1 = 1.9865 (16) Å and Cu1—O1 = 1.9097 (13) Å agree with the reported similar structures (Shaikh et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2010). Each Cu(II) cation is hexa-coordinated with two N atoms of bipyridine, two hydroxyl group O atoms bridging the copper cations and two O atoms of perchlorate anions, showing distorted octahedral environment (Fig. 1). The molecule belongs to the symmetry point group C2h. The two copper anions are separated by a distance of 2.8614 (7) Å, indicating a strong CuII···CuII interaction which is comparable with the CuII···CuII distance in the reported structure (Li et al., 2009).

The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H···O, C—H···O (Fig. 2 & Table 1) and ππ [Cg1···Cg1i distance = 3.5374 (13) Å; (i) -2-x, y, -z; Cg1 is the centroid of the ring (N1/C1/-C5)] interactions.

Experimental top

To a solution of 2,2'-bipyridine (0.25 g, 1.60 mM) in 10 mL methanol, Cu(ClO4)2. 6H2O (0.59 g, 1.60 mM) in 10 mL of methanol, was slowly added dropwise with constant stirring. The mixture was stirred well at room temperature for about 3 h, the formed blue solution was then concentrated to one third of its volume, washed well (with water, methanol and ether) and dried under vacuum. The complex was then recrystallized in ethanol by the slow evaporation method to obtain X-ray quality single crystals of the complex, which appeared gradually after several days.

Refinement top

The H atom of the hydroxyl O atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with the O1—H1 distance restrained to 0.82 (1)Å. All other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

One reflection (1 1 0) was omitted from the final cycles of refinement owing to poor agreement.

Special details top

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.
