The Cu^II atom in the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₁₄H₂₁F₃N₄)], adopts a coordination geometry that is between distorted square-based pyramidal and very Jahn–Teller-elongated octahedral. It is coordinated by three N atoms from the bis(2-aminoethyl)(2-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene]amino}ethyl)amine and two chloride ligands. The two crystallographically unique copper complexes present in the asymmetric unit exhibit noticeable differences in the coordination bond lengths. Considering the Cu^II atoms as having square-pyramidal geometry, the basal Cu—Cl bond lengths are typical [2.2701 (12) and 2.2777 (12) Å], while the apical distances are considerably elongated [2.8505 (12) and 2.9415 (12) Å]. For each molecule, a Cu^II atom from inversion-related molecules are in nearby proximity to the remaining axial Cu^II sites, but the Cu⋯Cl distances are very long [3.4056 (12) and 3.1645 (12) Å], attributable to van der Waals contacts. Nonetheless, these contacts appear to have some structure-directing properties, leading to association into dimers. These dimers associate via stacking of the aromatic rings to form extended zigzag chains.

Keywords: crystal structure; four-coordinate copper(II) complex; trifluoromethyl group analogue; ligand disorder.

1. Chemical context

The introduction of a fluorine atom or perfluoroalkyl group into a compound can bring about significant changes in its physical, chemical, and biological properties, making organo-fluorine derivatives suitable for diverse applications in areas of material science, agrochemistry, and medicinal chemistry (Singh & Shreeve, 2000 ). Modifications include polarity and conformational changes, increased chemical or metabolic stability, and enhanced lipophilicity (Böhm et al., 2004 ). As many as 30–40% of agrochemicals and 20% of pharmaceuticals on the market are estimated to contain fluorine, including three of the top eight drugs sold in 2007 (Dubinia et al., 2008 ). Fluorination can also serve as a diagnostic tool, enabling techniques such as ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy and positron emission tomography, with some organo-fluorine compounds exhibiting interesting NMR spectra (Purser et al., 2008 ). The simplest perfluoroalkyl group, trifluoromethyl, has become an important structural component for many compounds, mainly because of its polar influence and effect on lipophilicity (Dolbier, 2009 ). Its electronegativity and relatively small size (only two and one-half times the volume of a methyl group) contribute to this behavior (Welch, 1987 ). As such, synthesis of simple and complex compounds incorporating fluorinated analogues of the methyl group has become a growing area of interest. In this context, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound [CuCl₂(C₁₄H₂₁N₄F₃)] (1).

2. Structural commentary

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains two Cu–ligand complexes (Fig. 1). The coordination geometries of both Cu^II ions are between distorted square-based pyramidal and very Jahn–Teller-distorted octahedral. The first complex displays Cu—Cl bond lengths of 2.2701 (12) and 2.8505 (12) Å, while Cu—Cl lengths of 2.2777 (12) and 2.9415 (12) Å are observed in the second (Table 1, Fig. 2). Some studies suggest that copper(II) complexes adopting square-pyramidal geometries with apical Cu—L bonds longer than the basal bonds by up to 0.5 Å may not be due to Jahn–Teller distortion, but the result of a double electron occupancy of the antibonding a₁ orbital and single occupancy of the b₁ orbital, leading to increased anti-bonding electron density along the apical Cu—L axis (Rossi & Hoffmann, 1975 ). Copper(II) complexes with a square plane of ligand donors and one or two axial Cu—L interactions of 2.1–2.8 Å are very common (Murphy & Hathaway, 2003 ). Taking into consideration the covalent and van der Waals radii of copper (1.4 Å), an axial Cu—Cl bond length of less than 2.8 Å can be viewed as a genuine bond while bond lengths between 2.8–3.2 Å represent a weaker secondary interaction that is predominantly electrostatic in nature. Distances greater than 3.2 Å can be considered as purely van der Waals contacts (Halcrow, 2013 ). Following these criteria, it would seem that the interaction observed between Cu2⋯Cl3ⁱⁱ [3.1645 (12) Å; symmetry code: (ii) −x, −y, −z + 2] is a weaker secondary interaction with electrostatic characteristics. However, an elongated Cu1⋯Cl2ⁱ distance of 3.4056 (12) Å is also observed, which can be attributed to a van der Waals contact [Halcrow, 2013; symmetry code: (i) −x + 1, −y + 1, −z). These contacts appear to have some structure-directing properties, producing chlorine-bridged dimers in the crystal structure of (1).

3. Supramolecular features

In addition to electrostatic interactions observed in each complex, the aromatic rings engage in offset face-to-face π–π interactions with an observed centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.906 (3) Å and a dihedral angle of 10.6 (3)° (Fig. 3). Inspection of the extended structure shows that the orientation of these phenyl rings (C8–C13 and C22–C27) reduces interactions of the CF₃ groups associated with these rings. Coupled with the chlorine-bridged dimer we find that chains of molecules extend through the crystal parallel to the [221] direction (Fig. 3).

Inspection of intermolecular/intramolecular contacts reveals that amine nitrogen atoms N2, N3, N6 and N7 are involved in N—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonds (Table 2). However, several of the contacts [N3⋯Cl3ⁱ, N3⋯Cl2, N7⋯Cl4; symmetry code: (i) −x + 1, −y + 1, −z] have severely constrained N—H⋯Cl angles and are merely contacts to chlorine atoms bonded to the same Cu^II atom. The remaining hydrogen-bond contacts are intermolecular interactions, and while relatively long, they likely contribute to structure-directed organization.

4. Database survey

There are 318 structures that incorporate the N-2-bis(2-aminoethyl)aminoethyl ligand skeleton (Groom & Allen, 2014 ; CSD Version 5.36). Of those 318 structures, five incorporate one para-substituted benzene ring as presented in this article. Of those five, two have bromo-substituted phenyl rings displaying a nickel metal atom with perchlorate counter-ion and a zinc metal atom with tetrafluoridoborate counter-ion, respectively. Two display nitro-substituted phenyl rings with a copper metal atom and perchlorate counter-ions. Of those two, one contains a bidentate ligand with an ammonium derivative group not coordinating to the metal atom. The final structure is a zinc complex incorporating an unsubstituted phenyl ring with a perchlorate counter-ion. Of the 318 structures, none incorporates the trifluoromethyl-substituted phenyl group presented here and none displays the dichloride counterions presented here. A survey of Cu—Cl bond-length elongations of similar structures in the literature produced examples such as 2.6061 (18) and 2.609 (2) Å (Tucker et al., 1991 ), 2.843 (1) to 3.140 (1) Å (Krysiak et al., 2014 ), 2.665 (3) and 2.731 (2) Å (Ferrari et al., 1998 ) and 2.7546 (9) Å (Odoko et al., 2002 ).

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Synthesis of tris(2-(4-trifluoromethylbenzylideneamino)ethyl)amine ligand: In a drybox, tris(2-(amino)ethyl)amine (2.56 mL, 17.10 mmol) was dissolved in 100 mL methanol in a 250 mL round-bottom flask (Fig. 4). Ligand precursor 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (6.90 mL, 51.29 mmol) was added to the flask to give a light-yellow colored solution. Reaction was sealed and allowed to mix for 48 h producing a clear yellow solution. Solvent was removed using a rotary evaporator and dried under vacuum for one h to yield a yellow solid (10.40 g, 99%). ¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 500 MHz): δ 2.94 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2H), 3.70 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2H), 7.56 (br, 2H), 8.08 (s, 1H). ¹³C NMR (CDCl₃, 500 MHz): δ 55.62, 60.32, 122.85 (q), 125.73 (q), 128.35, 132.44 (q), 139.62, 160.42. FT–IR (solid) v (cm⁻¹): 1321 (s), 1169 (s), 1118 (s), 1062 (s), 834 (s). Melting Point: 344 K. TOF–ESI–MS: (m/z) [M + (H)]⁺ calculated for C₃₀H₂₈N₄F₉ = 615.2165, found 615.2194 (4.8 p.p.m.).

Synthesis of 2-(4-trifluoromethylbenzylideneamino)ethyl)amine-bis(2-αminoethyl)amine copper(II) chloride complex: tris(2-(4-Trifluoromethylbenzylideneamino)ethyl)amine (1.000 g, 1.63 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL methanol in a 100 mL round-bottom flask. CuCl₂ (0.219 g, 1.63 mmol) was added to the flask to give a teal-colored solution. The reaction was allowed to mix for six h then 20 mL of pentane was slowly added to the solution to generate a teal-colored precipitate. Solvent was removed from the round-bottom flask by connecting it to a rotary evaporator. The precipitate obtained was washed twice by transferring 15 mL of pentane into the flask and stirring vigorously for thirty minutes. Solvent was removed and precipitate dried under vacuum for one h to yield a teal-colored solid (1.140 g, 93%). FT–IR (solid): v (cm⁻¹) = 1636 (m), 1506 (s), 1473 (s), 1317 (s), 1163 (s), 1109 (br), 830 (s). UV–Vis (MeOH) λ_max = 668 nm. TOF–ESI–MS: (m/z) [M – 2(Cl)]²⁺ calculated for C₃₀H₂₇N₄F₉Cu = 677.1383, found 677.1381 (0.2 p.p.m.). Blue single crystal plates suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow diffusion of diethyl ether into a complex solution made in acetonitrile at room temperature. The structure obtained is indicative of hydrolysis occuring on two amine positions of the intended copper(II) complex.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
