H2(Me-sal)2dpt was prepared as reported elsewhere (Amirnasr et al., 2005). To a boiling solution of H2(Me-sal)2dpt (367 mg, 1 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 ml), a solution of Cu(OAc)2·4H2O (253.7 mg 1 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added slowly and the mixture stirred until the dichloromethane had evaporated. Solid KOH (112 mg, 2 mmol) was then added to the remaining solution and the mixture was stirred for an additional 5 min. A green precipitate was finally obtained. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the green precipitate was filtered off and washed with methanol. Green crystals of [Cu(Me-sal)2dpt], (I), suitable for X-ray crystallography were grown by slow evaporation of a hot toluene solution of the complex at 351 K. Analysis calculated for C22H27CuN3O2: C 61.6, H 6.34, N 9.80%; found: C 61.3, H 6.30, N 9.70%. We have actually recorded data from two crystals of (I). The first was bounded by a {111} dipyramid, an {012} prism and an {001} pinacoid, but on the second one - from which the data of this report stem - these forms were only partially developed and were completed by appropriate fracture planes to close the polyhedron.
All H atoms were made to ride on their carrier atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and N—H = 0.91 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). [Please check added text] Torsional degrees of freedom were allowed for the methyl groups. The somewhat high Rint value might be due to the presence of some concave regions in the measured crystal. Since we measured two different crystals on two different diffractometers, a few comparative items from the other, unpublished, crystal might be of interest. Its cell was: a = 18.118 (4), b = 11.327 (2) and c = 19.826 (4) Å, and V = 4068.8 (14) Å3. The Cu—N3 bond was 2.3068 (18) Å. The N3···O11 hydrogen bond had parameters of 2.17 Å, 3.152 (2) Å and 165°. Finally, the dihedral angles between the equatorial plane and the phenyl rings were 50.45 (7) and 60.53 (6)°, respectively.

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. |

CuII complexes have been studied widely, because of their flexibility and ability to stabilize unusual oxidation states (Xifra et al., 2005), and for their rôle in mimicking peculiar geometries around the metal atom, leading to very interesting spectroscopic properties and varied reactivities (Adman, 1991; Kitajima, 1992; Fenton, 1999). The complexity of the stereochemistry of CuII complexes is well known (Gažo et al., 1982; Hathaway, 1984; Murphy, 1993). The structures of such complexes are controlled by the type of donor atoms and the steric constraints in the ligands. For instance, five-coordinated CuII complexes, in most cases, take on many different geometries between square-pyramidal and trigonal–bipyramidal (Hathaway, 1987).
The majority of pentadentate ligands studied have been derived from the Schiff base condensation of 2 mol of an aldehyde or ketone with 1 mol of an amine containing three donor atoms. 2,2'-[1,1'-(4-Azaheptane-1,7-diyldinitrilo)diethylidyne]diphenol [(Me-sal)2dpt] is a ligand which is formed by the condensation of 2 mol of 2-hydroxyacetophenone and 1 mol of dipropylenetriamine. This ligand yields metal complexes showing distorted structures intermediate between trigonal–bipyramidal and square-pyramidal. The effect of altering the metal atom, bonded to identical ligands, can also be observed in the structures of these metal complexes. It is in this context that we have reported the nickel complexes obtained from this ligand under different experimental conditions (Amirnasr et al., 2005), and we report here the synthesis and structural characterization of the title compound, [(Me-sal)2dpt]Cu, (I).
The CuII atom of (I) is coordinated to three N and two O atoms, and the coordination geometry around the CuII atom is distorted square-pyramidal. Two imino N atoms and two phenolic O atoms reside in the basal plane, while the secondary amine N atom occupies the axial position. Bond lengths in the coordination polyhedron are in agreement with values from analogous structures. The Cu—O [1.9533 (16) and 1.9578 (16) Å], Cu—Nimine [1.9832 (19) and 1.9850 (19) Å] and Cu—N3 [2.309 (2) Å] bond lengths are in good agreement with the Cu—O [1.925 (5) and 1.951 (5) Å], Cu—Nimine [1.951 (5) and 1.983 (5) Å] and Cu—N3 [2.374 (10) Å] bond lengths found in N,N'-bis[(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)phenylmethylene]-4-azaheptane-1,7-diaminato(2-)copper(II) (Healy et al., 1975). The Cu—N3 bond in (I) is considerably longer than the corresponding Ni—N3 bond [2.0505 (12) Å] in the analogous Ni complex (Amirnasr et al., 2005) and reflects a weaker axial interaction which is typical of Jahn–Teller-sensitive copper(II) complexes. In the conformation adopted by the (Me-sal)2dpt ligand, the phenyl rings are bent unsymmetrically away from the axial position occupied by atom N3, owing to the difference in the conformations of the six-membered rings linking the salycilidene rings to the secondary amine atom N3. The angles between the normal to the equatorial plane defined by atoms Cu/O11/O21/N11/N21 and the normals to the C11–C16 and C21–C26 phenyl rings are 50.55 (10) and 60.47 (11)°, respectively.
Within the ligand, all refined distances and angles are well within the accepted ranges (Reference for standard values?). The C11–C16 phenyl ring (mean deviation 0.006 Å) and indeed the whole O11/C11–C16/C17 group (mean deviation 0.014 Å), is quite flat. The C21–C26 ring is slightly twisted (mean deviation 0.022 Å), and the O21/C21–C26/C27 group (mean deviation 0.039 Å, greatest deviation 0.059 Å for atom C27) is even more warped. Atom C27 links to the twist–boat Cu/N3/C211/C210/C29/N21 ring [topological D2 symmetry, puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople 1975) θ = 87.0 (2)° and ϕ = 273.61 (17)°]. As shown below, the fact that the O21–C27 group is more warped than the analogous O11–C17 group is a consequence of a packing impossibility. The other chelate ring is in an approximate chair conformation (Fig. 1). This is in contrast with [Ni(Me-sal)2dpt] (Amirnasr et al., 2005) and [Co((Me-sal)2dpt))(benzylamine)]PF6 (Amirnasr et al., 2006), in which a clear chair and a neat boat conformation, as well as rigorously flat O/C11–C16/C17 rings, were observed.
The shape of the title complex resembles a chubby angle-iron. On its convex side it is decorated with a Lissajous-like bulge of H atoms, within the loop of which are embedded the phenyl rings. Two of these irons are held together by means of two moderate intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds [Table 1, in which normalized H-atom positions are used (Jeffrey & Saenger 1991)], to form centrosymmetric dimers vaguely reminiscent of an X-shaped branding-iron. These dimers then build up the structure according to van der Waals considerations and C—H···π interactions (Fig. 2) (Hunter & Sanders 1990). Indeed, almost the whole of the surface of this branding-iron consists of hydrogen. During the build-up of the structural edifice, the bulges of the complexes fit into the dips of neighbouring complexes in such a way that a rather compact structure is obtained (Fig. 2). This is certainly so when viewed along the a and c axes, but there are four tiny (roughly 2 Å wide) channels per unit cell along the b axis. These are the places where a methylene group stands perpendicular to the C21–C26 phenyl ring (shortest contacts ≈ 1.8 Å). In these instances, there is obviously a steric compromise to tolerate the channels mentioned above.
It is interesting to note that the N—H.·O hydrogen bond is corroborated by IR spectroscopy. Indeed, the sharp band corresponding to the amine ν(N—H) stretching vibrations of free H2(Me-sal)2dpt appears at 3295 cm−1, but the band is shifted by about 83 cm−1 in (I) relative to the uncoordinated amine and becomes relatively broad, owing to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. These data thus confirm the attribution of the N—H.·O hydrogen bonds. The same behaviour was also observed in [Co((Me-sal)2dpt))(benzylamine)]PF6 (Amirnasr et al., 2006), in which the H···O distances are even shorter. These hydrogen bonds are further corroborated by the chemical shift of the Hc atoms on the C—N groups. In the free ligand, the chemical shift of the H atom NHCH2CH2CH2—N═C is 3.63 (4H, t, Hc), and that of NHCH2CH2CH2N═C is 2.15 (1H, br, N—H). The Hc atom is even more deshielded in metal complexes. For example, the chemical shifts of Hc protons in [Co((Me-sal)2dpt))(benzylamine)]PF6 are in the range 3.65–5.20 p.p.m. The Hc protons are therefore capable of forming intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the O atom. It is also interesting to note that the broad band characteristic of the OH group of the free H2(Me-sal)2dpt ligand (3300–3400 cm−1) is absent in the IR spectrum of the Title? complex, indicating that the equatorial ligand is coordinated in its deprotonated form.
Furthermore, there are two intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds in the complex (Table 1). Again, the lengths and angles of all hydrogen bonds fall perfectly in the ranges given by Jeffrey & Saenger (1991) or Desiraju & Steiner (1999). These weakish hydrogen bonds manifest themselves in the IR spectrum as a splitting of the ν(C—H) band at 3052 cm−1 in the free ligand into two bands at 3046 and 3013 cm−1. The same situation also occurs in the Co complex.
