The title dimeric complex, [Cu2(L)2(BNPP)2(NO3)2], is formed between 4,4′-methyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine (L, C12H12N2), copper(II), and the substrate BNPP [bis-(4-nitro­phenyl)­phosphate, C12H8N2O8P], with the two subunits, [Cu(L)(BNPP)NO3)] related by a center of inversion. The coordination geometry about the Cu atoms is square pyramidal, with phosphate O atoms occupying both an in-plane and an out-of-plane sites. While the dimeric scheme is similar to other five-coordinate copper(II) complexes of bi­pyridine, the alternating in-plane and out-of-plane bridging of the copper(II) centers by BNPP is unusual.

Comment top

The role of metal ions in the enhanced hydrolysis of phosphate esters has long been known and the mechanism of these reactions extensively investigated. We have been exploring ways to incorporate these active homogeneous catalytic systems into insoluble polymers in order to take advantage of both the fast rates of homogeneous catalysis, as well as the ease of handling of inhomogeneous systems (Lu et al., 2000; Singh et al., 2000; Deschamps, 2002; Hartshorn et al., 2002).

In early research in this field, it was shown that 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy) copper(II) complexes are among the most efficient in hydrolyzing selected phosphorofluoridates, a class of compounds closely related to phosphate esters (Courtney et al., 1957). A more recent report comprehensively detailed the hydrolysis of other phosphate esters with bpy–CuII (Morrow & Trogler, 1988). Since copper bipyridyl complexes are so effective across a wide range of substrates, we have sought to functionalize a 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine in order to incorporate it into polymers using a cross-linker, such as trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM). The resulting insoluble polymers are even more effective than the soluble monomer catalytic complexes, with catalytic rates up to 6.7 × 105 times faster than the uncatalyzed rates for methyl parathion, a phosphotriester (Hartshorn et al., 2002).

A potential approach for further improving the catalytic properties of these enhanced polymeric catalysts would be to make imprinted nano-cavities within the polymers that can be customized to accommodate individual active metal-ion complexes and their targeted substrate. To this end, we have prepared a complex with copper coordinated to the dimethyl bpy molecule and a phosphodiester substrate. The complex serves as a prototype template for imprinting and also as a model to better understand the geometrical dimensions and constraints that would be necessary for making imprinted sites within polymers.

We report here the crystal structure, (I), of a CuII complex of 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (L) coupled to bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate, BNPP, a model phosphodiester. The structure is based on a dimeric complex, [Cu2(L)2(BNPP)2(NO3)2] (Fig. 1), with the two identical subunits, [Cu(L)(BNPP)NO3)], related by a center of inversion. The dimeric nature of the crystal unit is reminiscent of other mixed-ligand systems based on bpy with phosphomonoesters (Aoki, 1978; Fischer & Bau, 1978; Glowiak et al., 1986; Kovari & Kramer, 1996). Interestingly, despite being a phosphodiester, two O atoms in BNPP act as a bridge between the Cu ions, just as in the phosphomonoesters. In this case, however, the two bridging P—O bond lengths of 1.466 (2) and 1.486 (2) Å (Table 1) are much shorter than that of a standard P—O single bond (1.64 Å; Cruickshank, 1961), or the bridging P—O bonds of a monophospate (e.g. Fischer & Bau, 1978). A further difference is found for BNPP, which bridges the two CuII centers with alternate square-planar and axial positions. This is in contrast to the usual planar positions occupied by bridging monophosphate complexes (Aoki, 1978; Fischer & Bau, 1978; Kovari & Kramer, 1996).

The subunit [Cu(L)(BNPP)NO3)] (Fig. 2) is square pyramidal, with BNPP in both one axial and one basal position (not shown). The subunit exhibits some in-plane asymmetry, with one of the Cu—N bonds [i.e. Cu1—N12 2.011 (3) Å] longer than the other, and C—O lengths of 1.961 (2) and 1.975 (2) Å. This is in contrast to the simpler [CuL(NO3)2] complex, where the two Cu—N bonds are of equal length (unpublished data). While the Cu—O bond with nitrate forms part of the base, the rest of the nitrate ion, with a Cu—O—N angle of 111.2 (2)°, is located below the plane.

The axial phosphate C—O bond is much longer at 2.149 (2) Å, although still shorter than the average Cu—O(water) distance of 2.455 Å (Glowiak et al., 1986). The P—O bonds that connect the nitrophenyls to the phosphate group are about the same length, at 1.598 (2) and 1.608 (2) Å, while the nitrophenyl rings are approximately at right angles to each other [92.05 (13)°].

In summary, the ternary complex, [Cu(L)(BNPP)(NO3)]2, exhibits the characteristic features, such as a five-coordinate square-pyramidal geometry, typical of previously reported mixed-ligand copper(II) complexes with monophosphate compounds. Similarly, the crystallization of the complex as a dimer conforms to the trend, even to the extent of BNPP playing the role of a bridge between the two CuII ions. The existence of a stable nitrato complex of CuLBNPP is promising for both preparing imprinted polymers and for incorporating binuclear complexes into polymers.

Experimental top

All reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used as received. To prepare the title complex, Cu(NO3)2·2.5H2O, mbpy, and BNPP were mixed in ethanol in an equimolar ratio. The resulting solution was allowed to slowly evaporate, producing blue crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

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.
