In the title compound, [Cu2(C13H10NO2)2Cl2(C12H8N2)2], the coordination geometry around the CuII atom is square-pyramidal, comprising one O atom from a 2-anilinobenzoate ligand, two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl anions. In addition, there is a weak inter­action of 2.700 (2) Å between the CuII atom and the other O atom of the 2-anilinobenzoate ligand. The two Cl anions bridge two CuII atoms to form a dimeric complex mol­ecule, which lies on an inversion centre. There is an intra­molecular N—H...O hydrogen bond in the 2-anilinobenzoate ligand.

Comment top

As part of our investigation of the transition metal complexes, there is a need to prepare further examples of these compounds. In this paper, the structure of the title compound, (I), is described.

As shown in Fig. 1, the coordination polyhedron around the CuII atom is a square pyramid, comprising one O atom from a 2-anilinobenzoate ligand, two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl- anions. In addition, there is a weak interaction of 2.700 (2)Å between Cu1 and O2 (Table 1). The two Cl- anions bridge two CuII atoms to form a dimeric complex molecule, which lies on an inversion center. The bond distances and angles are normal (Atria et al., 1994). There exists intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond in (I) (Table 2).

Experimental top

A mixture of CuCl2.2H2O (0.171 g, 1 mmol), NaOH (0.08 g, 2 mmol) and 2-anilinobenzoic acid (0.426 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol (15 ml) was stirred for 10 min at room temperature. Then 1,10-phenanthroline (0.360 g, 1 mmol) was added to the solution with stirring for 30 min and a blue precipitate was obtained. The precipitate was dissolved by dropwise addition of ammonia (5 M). Green single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of the solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

H atoms on C atoms were poisitioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atom bonded to N atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N).
