Introduction top

Extraction studies revealed that the first-generation tetra­kis(pyrazol-1-yl)borate ligand can selectively extract Mg2+ but not Ca2+ at near neutral pH (Sohrin et al., 1993), while another classic ligand, tris­(3,5-di­methyl­pyrazol-1-yl)hydro­borate (TpMe2), selectively extracted Ca2+ and not Mg2+ (Sohrin et al., 1994); such differentiation is not achieved using conventional ligands such as ethyl­enedi­amine­tetra­acetic acid (edta). Second-generation tris- and tetra­kis(pyrazolyl)borate ligands were employed to selectively extract transition metals. Tris(3-iso­propyl­pyrazol-1-yl)hydro­borate (Tpi-Pr), for instance, extracted Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+, and to some extent Co2+ and Cd2+, but not Mn2+ and Fe2+. Tetra­kis(3-iso­propyl­pyrazol-1-yl)borate (pzi-PrTpi-Pr), on the other hand, complexed Cu2+ and Zn2+, but not Ni2+, Co2+, and Cd2+. The presence of bulky substituents in the 3- and 5-positions of the pyrazole ring control stability of the compounds, which in turn, di­cta­ted selectivity of extraction (Kitano et al., 2001).

Synthesis and crystallization top

The precursor Cu(S2CNEt2)2 was synthesized according to literature methods (Petrova & Makhaev, 2007). The synthesis of TpMe2Cu(S2CNEt2) was carried out using slight modifications of the literature procedure (Halcrow et al., 1997). Stoichiometric amounts of Cu(S2CNEt2)2 and KTpMe2 were stirred in benzene for 4 h at room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness, the crude product was collected, and purified by silica-gel column chromatography with benzene. Slow evaporation of the eluent produced dark-green crystals (yield 96.9%).

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. One of the di­thio­carbamate S atoms was disordered over two positions and was treated with equal atomic displacement parameters and a refined site-occupancy ratio of 88:12. Cu—S and S—C distances for the thiol­ate were restrained to be similar by use of SHELXL SADI commands. H atoms were placed in calculated positions with isotropic displacement parameters set at either 1.2 or 1.5 (for methyl H atoms) of the Ueq values of the attached atom.

Results and discussion top

Our initial inter­est in the selective extraction of first-row transition metals using KTpMe2 was motivated by potential applications in metallurgy and waste treatment. We found that Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ were separately extracted under different conditions, i.e., reaction times, extraction times, counter-ions, and pH. While 1:2 metal–ligand ratios were determined for Co2+ and Ni2+, a 1:1 ratio was found for Cu2+–TpMe2 when solution pH was adjusted using acetic, hydro­chloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids. Direct synthesis of tentatively formulated TpMe2CuX (where X = Cl-, Br-, I-, NO3-, CH3COO-, acac-, S2CNEt2-) was demonstrated from metathesis of CuX2 salts and KTpMe2 in MeOH or benzene (Cañada et al., 2011).

Few copper(II) compounds of the type TpMe2CuX are known (Thompson et al., 1977; Fujisawa et al., 2001). Examples include TpMe2CuI/II(SR) (where SR = p-nitro­benzene­thiol­ate and O-ethyl cysteinate), which were used as models of blue copper proteins; the CuII complexes were unstable above 243 K, and only the corresponding CuI complexes were crystallographically characterized (Thompson et al., 1977). Also motivated by copper–nitro­syl inter­actions in proteins relevant to denitrification, TpMe2Cu(NO2) was synthesized from reaction of excess NO with TpMe2Cu(NO) (Ruggiero et al., 1994). Structural effects of the substituents at the 3- and 5-positions of the pyrazolyl ring were investigated for a series of TpR,R'Cu(NO3) compounds, including TpMe2Cu(NO3), which was reported to have a bidentate nitrate ligand and a square pyramidal geometry around the copper center (Fujisawa et al., 2001).

Other known [TpR,R'CuX]0,1+ compounds utilized second- or third-generation ligands, i.e.. Tpi-Pr2, Tpt-Bu,i-Pr, TpPh,Me, Tpt-Bu,Me, TpPh,i-Pr, Tpt-Bu,H, TpPh,H, TpCy,H, Tp6-Mepy, where X = Cl- (Kitajima et al., 1990), H2O (Humphrey et al., 1999), NO3- (Fujisawa et al., 2000; Fujisawa et al., 2001), OH- (Fujisawa et al., 2000), CH3COO- (Chia et al., 2000), and NO2- (Lehnert et al., 2007), while several structurally characterized TpMe2CuL motifs were reported for Cu1+ centers (Blake et al., 2002; Kimani et al., 2010; Lim & Holm, 1998; Lobbia et al., 1997, 2004; Pellei et al., 2000; Thompson et al., 1983). Coordinated 3,5-di­methyl­pyrazole resulted in the formation of a TpMe2CuXY-type complex, i.e. trigonal bipyramidal TpMe2CuBr(HpzMe2) (Zhang et al., 2007), and other TpR,R'CuXY complexes, where Y = HpzR,R' or solvent, typically result from the decomposition of TpR,R'CuX; e.g. TpPhCu(O2CMe)(HpzPh), TpPh2CuCl(HpzPh2) (Chia et al., 2000); TpPhCuCl(HpzPh) (Halcrow et al., 1997), and Tpi-Pr2CuCl(dmf) (dmf is di­methyl­formamide; Kitajima et al., 1990). Finally, several dinuclear CuI,II compounds were also reported utilizing the TpMe2 ligand (Bartolomas et al., 2002; Di Nicola et al., 2008; Kitajima et al., 1991; Marsh et al., 2002; Mealli et al., 1976).

Employing TpMe2 is believed to result in the formation of the bis­(ligand) (TpMe2)2Cu compound, which was initially synthesized by exposing a methanol solution of (TpMe2Cu)2O to air (Kitajima et al., 1988); for example, reaction of CuCl2(2H2O) with KTpMe2 was reported to yield (TpMe2)2Cu and not TpMe2CuCl, although Tpi-Pr2CuCl is formed in moderate yield from metathesis of CuCl2(2H2O)) with KTpi-Pr2 (Kitajima et al., 1990). Initial reports (Trofimenko, 1967a,b) also indicated that only bis­(ligand) Tp2M and (TpMe2)2M compounds are formed. Second- and third-generation TpR,R'CuX complexes (see above), as well as TpMe2Cu(SR) (Thompson et al. 1977) and TpMe2Cu(NO3) (Fujisawa et al., 2001), however, were routinely prepared from metathesis reactions of the pyrazolylborate ligand with the corresponding copper(II) salts. Here, we report the crystal structure of TpMe2Cu(S2CNEt2), a hitherto unreported CuII compound of the classic TpMe2 ligand, demonstrating that TpMe2CuX compounds may be accessible using appropriate co-ligands.

IR bands typical for compounds with the ligand TpMe2 were observed. Additional bands attributed to the S2CNEt2- ligand were similar to those reported for Cu(S2CNEt2)2 (Trendafilova et al., 1984). Visible spectroscopy in benzene of TpMe2Cu(S2CNEt2) revealed two bands; i.e. a λmax at 627.0 nm with a molar absorptivity value of 420.9 M-1 cm-1, and a second band at 405.0 nm, consistent with a dd transition for a five-coordinate metal center. Four-coordinate Tpi-Pr2CuCl was reported to have a band at 996 nm, which shifted to higher energy (758 nm) for five-coordinate Tpi-Pr2CuCl(dmf) (Kitajima et al., 1990). Other five-coordinate copper(II) centers showed dd transitions ranging from 708–797 nm (Halcrow et al., 1997; Fujisawa et al., 2000; Chia et al., 2000). Further shift to higher energies (689 nm) is observed for square-pyramidal TpPhCu(O2CMe)(HpzPh), where the acetate ligand is monodentate (Chia et al., 2000), while solutions of TpMe2Cu(SR) (SR = p-nitro­benzene­thiol­ate and O-ethyl cysteinate) showed intense absorptions at 600–625 nm with molar absorptivity ranging from 1000–5000 M-1 cm-1 (Thompson et al., 1977). Finally, square-planar [Tp2-SMePhCu]PF6, with an N3S2 environment, was reported to have a dd transition at 630 nm (Humphrey et al. 1999).

A molecular diagram of TpMe2Cu(S2CNEt2) is presented in Fig. 1. Selected bond metrics are shown in Table 2. The CuII center adopts a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with the basal plane defined by pyrazolylborate atoms N1 and N5, and di­thio­carbamate atoms S1 and S2, and the apical site is occupied by the pyrazolyl N3 atom. As expected, the apical Cu1—N3 bond length is longer than the Cu1—N1 and Cu1—N5 distances. The Cu—S thiol­ate bond lengths are comparable to that observed for the blue copper protein model compound (see below), although a second shorter position was solved for the disordered contribution. Distortion from ideal square-planar geometry is given by τ = 0.37 (Addison et al., 1984), with the CuII atom displaced by 0.25 (7) Å from the least-squares plane defined by atoms N1, N5, S1, and S2 towards the apical N3 atom.

Little structural information was given for TpMe2Cu(NO3) (Fujisawa et al., 2001), while only the tetra­hedral [TpMe2CuI(p-NO2C6H4S)]- was characterized with an Cu—S bond length of 2.19 (1) Å; the corresponding CuII compound was unstable above 243 K (Thompson et al., 1977). Key structural features, i.e., τ values, apical Cu—N bond lengths, and displacement of the Cu atom from the basal plane, are consistent with other CuII compounds of second- and third-generation pyrazolylborate ligands. For example, Tpi-Pr2Cu(NO3) was reported to have τ = 0.22, while the trigonal pyramidal Tpt-Bu,i-PrCu(NO3) had a τ value of 0.77 (Fujisawa et al., 2000). Square-planar [Tp2-SMePhCu]PF6, with τ = 0.15, has an N3S2 environment where the apical Cu—N bond length is 2.141 (5) Å and the Cu atom deviates by 0.09 Å above the least-squares plane towards the apical ligand (Humphrey et al., 1999), while Tpi-Pr2Cu(NO2), τ = 0.17, has an apical Cu—N bond length of 2.110 (3) Å (Lehnert et al., 2007). Recognition of the role of the co-ligand, e.g. NO- and NO2- (Ruggiero et al., 1994), NO3- (Fujisawa et al., 2001), and S2CNEt2- (this work) in formulating strategies for selective extraction of CuII using TpMe2 from aqueous solutions may prove useful.

Experimental. All reagents and solvents were analytical grade or better and were used as received and all reactions were performed in air at ambient conditions. Infrared analysis was carried out using a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum 100 FTIR as KBr disks, while UV-visible spectrometry employed a Shimadzu UV-1601 double-beam spectrophotometer using benzene as solvent.

Infrared (KBr, cm-1): 2975.3, 2925.6, 2865.9, ν(BH) 2508.8, TpMe2 ν(CN) 1544.6, S2CNEt2 ν(CN) 1504.9, 1445.5, 1429.1, 1414.9, 1380.5, 1356.0, 1302.4, 1276.8, 1207.9, 1184.7, 1148.9, 1089.8, 1065.1, 1039.0, 1000.2, 976.4, 914.6, 848.8, 808.3, 780.1, 688.8, 646.5, 464.0.

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.

The total exposure time was 15.38 h. The frames were integrated with the Bruker SAINT software package using a narrow-frame algorithm. The integration of the data using a monoclinic unit cell yielded a total of 24027 reflections to a maximum θ angle of 27.44° (0.77 Å resolution), of which 5598 were independent (average redundancy 4.292, completeness = 99.5%, Rint = 3.49%, Rsig = 2.88%) and 4583 (81.87%) were greater than 2σ(F2). The final cell constants of a = 10.9499 (9) Å, b = 13.4234 (12) Å, c = 16.8469 (15) Å, β = 94.593 (2)°, volume = 2468.3 (4) Å3, are based upon the refinement of the XYZ-centroids of 6123 reflections above 20 σ(I) with 4.81° < 2θ < 54.84°. Data were corrected for absorption effects using the multi-scan method (SADABS). The ratio of minimum to maximum apparent transmission was 0.841. The calculated minimum and maximum transmission coefficients (based on crystal size) are 0.7007 and 0.8467.

The structure was solved and refined using the Bruker SHELXTL Software Package, using the space group P 1 21/c 1, with Z = 4 for the formula unit, C20H32BCuN7S2.

The final anisotropic full-matrix least-squares refinement on F2 with 292 variables converged at R1 = 3.73%, for the observed data and wR2 = 10.53% for all data. The goodness-of-fit was 1.032. The largest peak in the final difference electron density synthesis was 0.808 e-3 and the largest hole was -0.344 e-3 with an RMS deviation of 0.066 e-3. On the basis of the final model, the calculated density was 1.370 g/cm3 and F(000), 1068 e-.
