Cu(L2)(ClO4)2 was synthesized as described in the literature (He et al., 2003). Slow evaporation of the aqueous solution of Cu(L2)(ClO4)2 and Na2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]·2H2O (molar ratio, 1:1) at room temperature resulted in red crystals of (I) suitable for single-crystal analysis.
The H atoms of the water molecule were found from difference Fourier maps and refined isotropically. The H atoms bound to C and N atoms were also visible in difference maps and were placed using the HFIX commands in SHELXL97, and they were allowed for as riding atoms (C—H 0.97 Å and N—H 0.86 Å).
It is well known that the cyanide ion may coordinate through the carbon atom acting as a monodentate ligand or through both the carbon and nitrogen atoms acting as a bridging ligand. Recently, using [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- as a building block, some cyano-bridged polymeric complexes have been prepared for the investigation of photo-functional properties (Bellouard et al., 2001; Gu et al., 2001) and semipermeable membrane properties (Mullica et al., 1990) of nitroprusside. Also, there has been much interest in clarifying the structural correlation with magnetic properties of nitroprusside-bridged complexes. Magnetic studies show that the nitroprusside anion transmits very weak antiferromagnetic interaction. Tang and co-workers reported a two-dimensional cyano-bridged [Cu2(oxpn)Fe(CN)5(NO)]n [H2oxpn = N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)oxamide] complex, in which a nitrogen atom of the cyano group in [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- is coordinated to one of the adjacent CuII ions in [Cu2(oxpn)]2+ (Chen et al., 1995). The complexes M(en)2Fe(CN)5(NO).nH2O (where en = ethylenediamine, M = NiII and CuII, n = 0 or 1) exhibit one-dimensional chain-like structure, in which weak antiferromagnetic coupling is present through the nitroprusside (Kou et al., 1998; Shyu et al., 1997), whereas Cu(L1)2Fe(CN)5(NO).nH2O (where L1 = 2-dimethylaminoethylamine, 1-dimethylamino-2-propylamine, 3,10-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5,8,10,12- hexaazacyclotetradecane and 1,2-diaminopropane) are cyano-bridged dinuclear complexes (Zhang et al., 2002). We have been interested in this versatile building block. Recently, we prepared a new tetraazabicycle–CuII complexes [CuL2](ClO4)2 [L2 = 3,7-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,2]decane], in which the CuII ion exhibits 4 + 2 coordination geometry (He et al., 2003). Reacting the precursor with [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- is anticipated to generate cyano-bridged species.
A displacement ellipsoid plot of the title compound, (I), is illustrated in Fig. 1. The central Cu atom is coordinated by five N atoms leading to a distorted pyramidal structure with four N atoms from the L2 ligand defining the equatorial plan and one N atom from the bridging CN- ligand occupying the axial position. The Cu—Nequatorial bond lengths [range 1.998 (2)–2.032 (2) Å] is shorter than the Cu—Naxial bond lengths [2.303 (2) Å] due to the Jahn–Teller effect for the d9 configuration of the CuII ion in a pyramidal environment. The equatorial atoms (N7, N8, N11 and N12) show some deviation from coplanarity [largest deviation 0.129 (3) Å]. The coordination sphere of CuII shows the distortion from square pyramidal (SP) toward trigonal bipyrimidal (TBP), which can be defined by a τ value (where τ = 1.0 for a regular TBP and τ = 0.0 for a regular SP stereochemistry; Brophy et al., 1999). For the coordination environment of Cu in the present complex, a τ value of 0.19 is obtained, emphasizing that the metal centre geometry is much closer to SP rather than TBP. The bridging cyanide coordinates to the CuII ions in a bent fashion with the C1—N1—Cu bond angle of 141.37 (19)°, which is similar to that of related compounds (Kou et al., 1998; Zhang et al., 2002; Smekal et al., 2000; Mondal et al., 2000). The Fe···Cu distance through the cyano bridge is 5.027 (1) Å.
As usual, the [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- moiety exhibits a distorted octahedral structure (C4v), with the four equatorial CN- ligands away from the NO+ ligand. This is due to the greater electronegativity of the nitrosyl group with respect to the cyanide groups. The C—Fe—NO angles are greater than 90°, and consequently the C—Fe—C5 angles are less than 90°. The mean Fe—C and C—N bond lengths are 1.938 (3) and 1.141 (3) Å, respectively. The Fe—N6 and N6—O11 bond distances are 1.657 (2) and 1.124 (3) Å. The Fe—C—N and Fe—N—O bonds are linear with the bond angles ranging from 174.8 (2) to 179.1 (3)°. These values are in good agreement with those of the previous reports (Mondal et al., 2000; Shyu et al., 1997). Like other dinuclear bimetallic nitroprussides, the cyanide ligand cis to the NO+ ligand serves as a bridging group to connect two metal ions with similar bridging bond angles (Ribas et al., 1984; Zhang et al., 2002).
The lattice water molecules are hydrogen bonded to the non-bridging cyanide N atom and to the primary amine atoms to produce a hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional network; details are available in Table 2.

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. |

It is well known that the cyanide ion may coordinate through the carbon atom acting as a monodentate ligand or through both the carbon and nitrogen atoms acting as a bridging ligand. Recently, using [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- as a building block, some cyano-bridged polymeric complexes have been prepared for the investigation of photo-functional properties (Bellouard et al., 2001; Gu et al., 2001) and semipermeable membrane properties (Mullica et al., 1990) of nitroprusside. Also, there has been much interest in clarifying the structural correlation with magnetic properties of nitroprusside-bridged complexes. Magnetic studies show that the nitroprusside anion transmits very weak antiferromagnetic interaction. Tang and co-workers reported a two-dimensional cyano-bridged [Cu2(oxpn)Fe(CN)5(NO)]n [H2oxpn = N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)oxamide] complex, in which a nitrogen atom of the cyano group in [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- is coordinated to one of the adjacent CuII ions in [Cu2(oxpn)]2+ (Chen et al., 1995). The complexes M(en)2Fe(CN)5(NO).nH2O (where en = ethylenediamine, M = NiII and CuII, n = 0 or 1) exhibit one-dimensional chain-like structure, in which weak antiferromagnetic coupling is present through the nitroprusside (Kou et al., 1998; Shyu et al., 1997), whereas Cu(L1)2Fe(CN)5(NO).nH2O (where L1 = 2-dimethylaminoethylamine, 1-dimethylamino-2-propylamine, 3,10-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5,8,10,12- hexaazacyclotetradecane and 1,2-diaminopropane) are cyano-bridged dinuclear complexes (Zhang et al., 2002). We have been interested in this versatile building block. Recently, we prepared a new tetraazabicycle–CuII complexes [CuL2](ClO4)2 [L2 = 3,7-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,2]decane], in which the CuII ion exhibits 4 + 2 coordination geometry (He et al., 2003). Reacting the precursor with [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- is anticipated to generate cyano-bridged species.
A displacement ellipsoid plot of the title compound, (I), is illustrated in Fig. 1. The central Cu atom is coordinated by five N atoms leading to a distorted pyramidal structure with four N atoms from the L2 ligand defining the equatorial plan and one N atom from the bridging CN- ligand occupying the axial position. The Cu—Nequatorial bond lengths [range 1.998 (2)–2.032 (2) Å] is shorter than the Cu—Naxial bond lengths [2.303 (2) Å] due to the Jahn–Teller effect for the d9 configuration of the CuII ion in a pyramidal environment. The equatorial atoms (N7, N8, N11 and N12) show some deviation from coplanarity [largest deviation 0.129 (3) Å]. The coordination sphere of CuII shows the distortion from square pyramidal (SP) toward trigonal bipyrimidal (TBP), which can be defined by a τ value (where τ = 1.0 for a regular TBP and τ = 0.0 for a regular SP stereochemistry; Brophy et al., 1999). For the coordination environment of Cu in the present complex, a τ value of 0.19 is obtained, emphasizing that the metal centre geometry is much closer to SP rather than TBP. The bridging cyanide coordinates to the CuII ions in a bent fashion with the C1—N1—Cu bond angle of 141.37 (19)°, which is similar to that of related compounds (Kou et al., 1998; Zhang et al., 2002; Smekal et al., 2000; Mondal et al., 2000). The Fe···Cu distance through the cyano bridge is 5.027 (1) Å.
As usual, the [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- moiety exhibits a distorted octahedral structure (C4v), with the four equatorial CN- ligands away from the NO+ ligand. This is due to the greater electronegativity of the nitrosyl group with respect to the cyanide groups. The C—Fe—NO angles are greater than 90°, and consequently the C—Fe—C5 angles are less than 90°. The mean Fe—C and C—N bond lengths are 1.938 (3) and 1.141 (3) Å, respectively. The Fe—N6 and N6—O11 bond distances are 1.657 (2) and 1.124 (3) Å. The Fe—C—N and Fe—N—O bonds are linear with the bond angles ranging from 174.8 (2) to 179.1 (3)°. These values are in good agreement with those of the previous reports (Mondal et al., 2000; Shyu et al., 1997). Like other dinuclear bimetallic nitroprussides, the cyanide ligand cis to the NO+ ligand serves as a bridging group to connect two metal ions with similar bridging bond angles (Ribas et al., 1984; Zhang et al., 2002).
The lattice water molecules are hydrogen bonded to the non-bridging cyanide N atom and to the primary amine atoms to produce a hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional network; details are available in Table 2.
