In the title complex, [Cu(N3)2(C15H26N2)], the Cu atom is surrounded by the two N atoms of the chelating (−)-α-isosparteine ligand and another two N atoms from the two azide anions, forming a distorted CuN4 tetrahedron. The two azide anions are terminally bound to the CuII atom, and the dihedral angle between the Nsparteine—Cu—Nsparteine and Nazide—Cu—Nazide planes is 50.0 (2)°.

Comment top

The crystal structures of several copper(II) complexes with the neutral alkaloid (-)-sparteine (C15H26N2) and its diastereomer, (-)-β-isosparteine, have been determined by several workers (Childers et al., 1975; Choi et al., 1995; Kim et al., 2001; Lee et al., 1998, 2000; Lopez et al., 1998). It has been recognized that, with one exception (Lee et al., 1998), sparteine copper(II) complexes are four-coordinate and tetrahedrally distorted (Childers et al., 1975; Choi et al., 1995; Kim et al., 2001; Lee et al., 2000; Lopez et al., 1998). The pseudo-tetrahedral geometry around the CuII centre of these complexes is due to the steric requirements imposed by the bulky chelating sparteine ligand. However, the anionic ligands L in these complexes of the type [Cu(L)2(C15H26N2)] are also important in controlling the molecular structures. The X-ray crystallographic structures of sparteine copper(II) complexes have shown that the average dihedral angles between the L2Cu and N2Cu planes in these complexes are in the range 31.7–87.3° (Childers et al., 1975; Choi et al., 1995; Kim et al., 2001; Lee et al., 2000; Lopez et al., 1998). (-)-α-Isosparteine, one of three diastereomers of sparteine, has been reported to react with CuII halides to produce the corresponding stable complexes (Boschmann et al., 1974), although no structures of (-)-α-isosparteine copper(II) complexes have been reported. The present investigation of (-)-α-isosparteine copper(II) diazide, (I), was also prompted by the possibility of the complex having a tetrahedrally distorted CuIIN4 chromophore, and the likely influence of the azide anion on the molecular structure. \sch

In complex (I), the Cu atom is surrounded by two N atoms (N1 and N9) of the chelating (-)-α-isosparteine ligand and by two N atoms (N18 and N21) of the two azide anions, forming a distorted CuN4 tetrahedron. All four of the six-membered rings in the coordinated (-)-α-isosparteine are in the chair conformation. The conformation of the coordinated (-)-α-isosparteine in (I) consists of two terminal rings folded down over the CuII (endo), identical to the conformation of the free ligand (Boschmann et al., 1974; Wrobleski & Long, 1977).

The molecule of (I) possesses a nearly perfect twofold axis of rotation along a line through atoms C17 and Cu. Two azide anions are bound terminally to the CuII. The N1—Cu—N9 plane is twisted by 50.0 (2)° from the N18—Cu—N21 plane.

The CuII-azide distances (Table 1) found in (I) are similar to the CuII—N distances found in other copper(II) complexes containing a terminally bound azide ligand (references?). The Cu—Nsparteine bond lengths of approximately 2.0 Å have previously been established for several other sparteine copper(II) complexes (Childers et al., 1975; Choi et al., 1995; Kim et al., 2001; Lee et al., 1998; Lee et al., 2000; Lopez et al., 1998).

The coordinating azide anions are nearly linear, but the (Cu)—N—N bonds are longer than the (Cu—N)—N—N bonds. This result, together with the nonlinear M—N—N angle, suggest that the covalency in copper(II)-azide bonding is appreciable and that the main contribution to the ground-state geometry of the coordinated azide is provided by the two canonical structures, –NN+N- \leftrightarrow –N-—N+N.

Experimental top

(-)-α-Isosparteine was derived from commercially available (-)-sparteine by the literature method of Leonard & Beyler (1950). The precursor copper(II) complex, [Cu(NO3)2(C15H26N2)], was prepared in a glove box by mixing a solution of copper(II) nitrate in ethanol-triethylorthoformate (5:1 v/v) with a stoichiometric amount of (-)-α-isosparteine. The resulting blue precipitate was filtered, washed with cold absolute ethanol and dried in a vacuum. Complex (I) was prepared by the reaction of [Cu(NO3)2(C15H26N2)] with a stoichiometric amount of NaN3 in an ethanol-triethylorthoformate (5:1 v/v) solution. Single crystals of (I) were obtained by recrystallization at about 278 K from a solution in dichloromethane-triethylorthoformate (5:1 v/v) under carbon tetrachloride vapour.

Refinement top

The positional parameters of the H atoms on the sparteine ligand were calculated geometrically and constrained to ride on their attached atoms, with C—H = 0.97–0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
