The crystal structure of the title compound, (H3O)[Cu2(C4H8NO2)2Cl3(H2O)2], contains two CuII ions bridged by the carboxyl­ate group of a dimethyl­glycinate ion in an anti-anti configuration. The CuII atoms both have an approximately square-pyramidal conformation geometry and are 5.977 (2) Å apart. The two dimethyl­glycinate ligands have similar conformations, although they play different roles in the structure. A weak antiferromagnetic inter­action between the two copper ions could be inferred from the magnetic susceptibility measurements.

Comment top

The establishment of a relationship between the magnetic and structural properties, leading to a better understanding of the fundamental factors governing magnetic properties, has been the aim of a lot of recent scientific work (Khan, 1993). Such knowledge would allow the design and production of new molecular-based magnets, and the comprehension of the structure and function of the paramagnetic active sites in metalloproteins. Metalloproteins justify the great interest in metal carboxylate complexes, since in this systems the metal ions are chelated by carboxylate groups supplied by amino acid chains. Carboxylate is a versatile anion that can display several types of bridging conformations, such as monoatomic or triatomic synsyn, synanti and anti–anti. A soft correlation has been found between the magnetic interaction of the metallic ions with the carboxylate conformation. The triatomic synsyn conformation usually mediates strong interactions, medium/weak interactions are found in the syn–anti conformation, and the anti–anti conformation favours very weak magnetic exchange interactions. The crystal structure of the title compound, (I), contains two CuII ions with different environments bridged by the carboxylate group of a dimethylglycinate ion in an anti–anti configuration (Fig. 1). According to the procedure described by Addison et al. (1984), the shapes of the polyhedra can be considered as square-based pyramidal since the τ values [τ = (θ1-θ2)/60°, where θ1 and θ2 are the largest angles in the coordination sphere) are 0.30 for atom Cu1 and 0.08 for atom Cu2, respectively. (τ is 1 for trigonal-bypyramidal D3h and 0 for square-based-pyramidal C4v geometries, respectively.)

The four short bonds occupy the basal positions, and they are of the same type for both Cu1 and Cu2, viz. a carboxylate O atom, a water O atom, an N atom and a Cl atom. As seen in Fig. 1, atom Cu1 is coordinated by a Cl atom in the apical position, with a bond distance of 2.5986 (8) Å. Atom Cu2 has a carboxylate O atom in that position, with a distance of 2.272 (2) Å. As usual, both copper ions deviate from their mean basal plane towards the apical atom [0.2511 (11) Å for Cu1 and 0.2250 (12) Å for Cu2].

The mean basal planes of the pyramids make an angle of 82.24 (5)°. The atoms in the pyramid bases are not equally spaced. The O2—Cu1—O5 angle is 90.19 (9)° and O5—Cu1—Cl2 is 90.10 (8)°, but the Cl2—Cu1—N1 angle is 96.19 (7)° and N1—Cu1—O2 is 82.46 (8)°, and a similar situation is found around atom Cu2. The smaller angle, N1—Cu1—O2, is certainly a result of the incapacity of the organic moiety to stretch further. The distances in the basal plane range between 1.972 (2) and 2.2367 (8) Å for atom Cu1, and 1.9636 (19) and 2.2131 (8) Å for atom Cu2 (Table 1). The two Cu atoms are separated by almost 6 Å. The dimethylglycine molecules crystallize in their ionic form with a total charge of −1. The carboxylate groups are deprotonated, and the C—O distances [1.240 (3)–1.279 (3) Å] are slightly elongated because of their metal coordination role. One of the dimethylglycine moieties bridges the two copper ions, while the other just coordinates atom Cu2. In spite of having distinct functions in this complex, the conformations of the substituted amino acids are similar, both carboxylate groups being rotated 18° around C—C. Usually, the carboxylate groups of bridging dimethylglycine molecules are rotated less than in those in the N,O-coordination mode (Ramos Silva et al., 2005). The molecular skeletons deviate from planarity, as indicated by the C3—N1—C2—C1 [−159.1 (2)°] and C7—N2—C6—C5 [159.4 (2)°] torsion angles. Both chelate rings are significantly non-planar, as illustrated by the N1—C2—C1—O2 [18.0 (3)] and N2—C6—C5—O3 [−17.5 (3)°] torsion angles. In a related compound, aquabis(N,N-dimethylglycinato)copper dihydrate (Cameron et al., 1973), where amino acid ions chelate each metallic cation in an N,O-chelating mode, and the apical position is taken by an water O atom, the torsion angles (of the chelate rings) are approximately 18 and 30°. Such a conformation goes against that expected from the results of a density functional study in the gas phase for Cu+– and Cu2+–glycine bonding (Bertran et al., 1999), using the hybrid three-parameter B3LYP approach. These calculations showed that for Cu+ the most stable coordination is N,O-bidentate, with the cation interacting with the N and carbonyl O atoms. For Cu2+, the preferred coordination is O,O-bidentate, with the metal interacting with the CO2 group of the zwitterionic species.

A hydronium cation compensates the complex negative charge and links three neighbouring complexes via hydrogen bonds (Table 2). The coordination water molecules also share their H atoms with the carboxylate O atoms and atom Cl1, exhausting their potential as donors. Fig. 2 shows the projection of the molecular packing down the b axis and the ring patterns formed by the hydronium hydrogen bonds. Perpendicular to the b axis, three water H atoms shared with other complexes delineate infinite chains. The remaining H atom participates in rings composed of symmetry-inverted molecules, completing a two-dimensional hydorgen-bond network parallel to the (100) plane. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of the title compound was measured using a SQUID magnetometer. An external magnetic field of 100 Oe was applied on a powder sample weighing 0.0277 g. Only a small antiferromagnetic interaction between the sample copper ions could be measured. Indeed, as previous work has pointed out, an anti–anti bridging is not favourable for an antiferromagnetic interaction, and even weak ferromagnetic coupling has been found (Suarez-Varela et al., 1995).

Experimental top

Dimethylglycine (5 mmol) was added to hydrated copper chloride (2.5 mmol) in aqueous solution. After a few months at room temperature, small single crystals had grown and their structure was determined using X-ray analysis (Ramos Silva et al., 2005). After a few weeks, all those crystals had spontaneously dissolved in the solution, and a few weeks later new crystals of the title compound formed.

Refinement top

The amino acid H atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined as riding on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.96 and 0.97 Å and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq(C). Water and hydronium H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and their positions were refined; Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq(O), respectively. Examination of the crystal structure with PLATON (Spek, 2003) showed that there are no solvent-accessible voids.

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.
