In the title compound, [CuCl2(C11H15N3O2)], the CuII ion is five-coordinated in a strongly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement, with the two methyl­oxime N atoms located in the apical positions, and the pyridine N and the Cl atoms located in the basal plane. The two axial Cu-N distances are almost equal (mean 2.098 Å) and are substantially longer than the equatorial Cu-N bond [1.9757 (15) Å]. It is observed that the N(oxime)-M-N(pyridine) bond angle for five-membered chelate rings of 2,6-diacetyl­pyridine dioxime complexes is inversely related to the magnitude of the M-N(pyridine) bond. The structure is stabilized by intra- and inter­molecular C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds which involve the methyl H atoms, except for one of the two acetyl­methyl groups.

Comment top

Remarkable advances in homogeneous catalyst technology have recently been achieved with systems comprising late transition metals and 2,6-bis(imino)pyridiyl ligands (Small & Brookhart, 1998, 1999; Britovsek et al., 1999). Upon coordination to a transition metal, the bis(chelate) framework may confer on such complexes interesting stoichiometric and catalytic reactivities (Çetinkaya et al., 1999; Dayan & Çetinkaya; 2005; Gibson & Spitzmesser, 2003). This family of catalysts has attracted great interest, both in academia and in industry (Gibson & Was, 1999; Bennett, 1999). Although a number of 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime-based CuII complexes have been reported (Glynn & Turnbull, 2002; Baugh et al., 2003; Chandra & Gupta, 2001, 2002; Singh et al., 1997; Abboud et al., 1994; Nicholson et al., 1980, 1982), the chemistry of the related 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(O-methyloxime) complexes has been studied insufficiently. In addition, copper is an oligo-element with an essential role in a number of enzymes (Price, 1987). It has been demonstrated that Cu chelates are good anticonvulsant agents for the treatment of epileptic seizures. Moreover, many classes of Cu chelates, including amino acids, salicylates and Schiff bases, as well as Cu chelates of well known anti-epileptic drugs, are more effective anticonvulsants than the parent ligand (Viossat et al., 2003).

In the present study, the title new five-coordinate compound, (II), was synthesized in good yield (81%) by the reaction sequence depicted in the scheme. The composition of this complex has been confirmed by CHN analyses and IR spectroscopy. Understanding the shape of coordination polyhedra in the case of five-coordination is one of the current problems in coordination chemistry. In order to establish the coordination geometry about the metal and to examine the structural parameters in this case, we present here the synthesis and crystal structure of this mononuclear copper 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(O-methyloxime) compound with two chloride ligands.

The molecular structure of complex (II), together with the atom-labelling scheme and the intramolecular hydrogen bonding, are shown in Fig. 1. Selected geometric parameters are listed in Table 1. The structure of the title complex is composed of a 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(O-methyloxime) ligand with a CuII metal centre and two Cl ligands. As expected, complex (II) does not crystallize with solvent molecules and the ligand, (I), with its two imino groups in ortho positions with respect to the pyridine N atom, behaves as a symmetrical tridentate N,N',N-chelate. The CuII ion is pentacoordinated by two methyloxime N atoms, one pyridine N atom and two Cl atoms (Fig. 1). The five-membered chelate rings formed by atoms Cu1/N1/C1/C8/N3 and Cu1/N1/C5/C6/N2 are essentially planar and the maximum deviations from their planes are 0.0221 (9) and −0.0368 (11) Å, respectively, [for which atoms?]. These two chelate rings make a small dihedral angle of 2.37 (10)° with each other, indicating that they are nearly coplanar.

Five-coordinate copper(II) complexes have geometries ranging from trigonal–bipyramidal to square-pyramidal. Energetically, these limiting forms are often almost equally favourable, with a low activation barrier to interconversion. The question arises as to whether the coordination polyhedron around the CuII ion in complex (II) can be best described as a distorted square pyramid or a distorted trigonal bipyramid. Further information can be obtained by determining the structural index τ, which represents the relative amount of trigonality [square pyramid τ = 0 and trigonal bipyramid τ = 1; τ = (β - α)/60°, α and β being the two largest angles around the central atom (Addison et al., 1984)]. The value of τ for the CuII ion in (II) is 0.53, indicating that the coordination geometry lies almost midway between a regular square pyramid (SQP) and a regular trigonal bipyramid (TBP), but can be accepted as a strongly distorted trigonal bipyramid, since the value of τ is a little closer to TBP than SQP, as can also be seen from the distances and angles around the metal (Table 1). Atoms Cl1, Cl2 and N1 act as the basal plane of the trigonal bipyramid, while the apical positions are occupied by atoms N2 and N3. In the axial direction, the N2—Cu1—N3 angle of the bipyramid deviates greatly from linearity. However, the bond angles within the basal plane have nearly the ideal value of 120° for a perfect TBP, and the apical N atoms are symmetrically disposed above and below the plane. This ligand disposition in (II) is consistent with approximate C2v point group symmetry for the molecule. Atoms N1, Cl1 and Cl2 are coplanar, and the CuII ion is located in the middle of the base of the TBP, 0.0148 (5) Å out of the mean plane (toward N2) formed by the equatorial ligand atoms. The axial(ax)–equatorial(eq) angles fall into two groups, with Nax—Cu—Neq values in the range 76.66 (6)–76.85 (6)° and Nax—Cu—Cleq in the range 93.72 (5)–99.73 (4)°, which also reflects the fact that the Cu atom is displaced out of the plane of the three equatorial atoms. In the molecular structure, the bond lengths of C6N2 and C8N3 conform to the value for a double bond, while those of N2—O1 and N3—O2 conform to the value for a single bond.

The Cu1—N2 and Cu1—N3 bond distances in the axial direction are longer than the Cu1—N1 bond in the equatorial plane. In addition, the basal Cu1—Cl2 distance is 0.02 Å longer than the other basal Cu1—Cl1 distance. Since the electronic ground state in this CuII complex is not likely to be degenerate, the observed variations in these bond distances are probably due to a second-order Jahn–Teller effect of the d9 metal atom. Pearson (1969) has examined this problem of molecular distortions with the aid of second-order perturbation theory and group theory. His analysis has shown that, for molecules with a nondegenerate ground state and low-lying excited states (within about 4 eV), only totally symmetric motions will occur until the energy of the molecule is minimized. Thus, the bond lengths and angles change to produce the lowest energy configuration that still retains the original point group symmetry of the molecule. The Jahn–Teller effect is also observed in the UV spectrum, in which complex (II) exhibits a weak transition at 565 nm corresponding to 2B1g2B2g, which indicates the presence of fivefold coordination around Cu (Lever, 1984). A less intense band at 364 nm is due to the Jahn–Teller effect in the complex. The absorption band below 330 nm results from the overlap of a low-energy ππ* transition mainly localized within the imine choromophore and the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer bands (LCMT).

There are several structures reported in the literature containing various metal complexes of 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime ligands (Sproul & Stucky, 1973; Nicholson et al., 1982; Abboud et al., 1994; Glynn & Turnbull, 2002). An examination of the M—N bond distances in (II) and in these examples indicates that the two M—N(oxime) bonds are ca 0.1–0.2 Å longer than the corresponding MN(pyridine) bond within each metal–tridentate chelate unit. This structural feature contrasts with that observed for α-amine oxime (Liss & Schlemper, 1975; Gavel & Schlemper; 1979; Curtis et al., 2004) and trinuclear CuII oxime complexes (Ross et al., 1974). In these particular systems, the trend is reversed, with the Cu—N(oxime) distances consistently 0.03–0.07 Å shorter than the interior Cu—N(amine) distances. Finally, it is observed that the N(oxime)—MN(pyridine) bond angle for the five-membered chelate rings of 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime complexes is inversely related to the magnitude of the MN(pyridine) bond. As the MN(pyridine) distance increases from 1.837 (4) Å for Ni(DAPD)2 (DAPD is 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioximate; Sproul & Stucky, 1973) to 1.9757 (15) Å for (II) to 2.063 (2) Å for Zn(DAPDH2)Cl2 (DAPDH2 is 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime; Nicholson et al., 1982) to 2.180 (5) Å (average) for [Mn(DAPDH2)2](ClO4)2 (Glynn & Turnbull, 2002), the corresponding inner `bite' angle decreases continually from 82.4 (average) to 76.76 (average) to 73.7 (average) to 70.65° (average), respectively.

In the molecular structure of (II), three intramolecular interactions are observed between the methyl H and Cl atoms, forming six-membered rings. In the construction of the intermolecular connections, 21 screw symmetry-related molecules, which form pairs of neighbouring molecules translated linearly along the b axis of the unit cell, play an active bridging role. Atom C7 acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H7B, to atom Cl1 at (1 − x, −1/2 + y, −1/2 − z). Extension of this hydrogen-bonding interaction along b in a zigzag arrangement results in the formation of molecular chains along the [010] direction (Fig. 2). There are no intermolecular interactions in the a or c directions. The full geometry of the intra- and intermolecular interactions is given in Table 2.

Experimental top

Melting points were determined in open capillary tubes on a digital Electrothermal 9100 melting point apparatus. IR spectra (KBr pellets) were recorded in the range 400–4000 cm−1 on an ATI UNICAM 2000 spectrophotometer. Elemental analyses were carried out by the analytical service of TÜBİTAK (the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey) using a Carlo Erba 1106 apparatus. CuCl2·2H20 (Merck), diacetylpyridine (Fluka) and methoxylaminehydrochloride (Acros) were used as received. Compound (I) was prepared by a modification of the method of Çetinkaya (Çetinkaya et al., 1999; Dayan & Çetinkaya; 2005; Gibson & Spitzmesser, 2003). Solvents were of analytical grade and were distilled after drying. A solution of CuCl2·2H20 (77 mg, 0.45 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of (I) (100 mg, 0.45 mmol) in ethanol (10 m). The resulting brown solution was refluxed for 4 h and then concentrated (5 ml). Et2O was added dropwise with stirring to a final volume of 20 ml, causing a brown powder to precipitate. The brown precipitate was filtered off, washed with Et2O and dried. X-ray quality crystals of (II) were grown from a solution in CH2Cl2–Et2O (Ratio?) (yield 130 mg, 81%; m.p. 483–485 K). Analysis, calculated for C11H15Cl2CuN3O2: C 37.14, H 4.25, N 11.81%; found: C 36.92, H 4.1, N 11.56. IR (KBr): 1621 (νCN) cm−1.

H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated using a riding model, fixing the bond lengths at 0.96 and 0.93 Å for CH3 and CH(aromatic), respectively. The displacement parameters of the H atoms were constrained as Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (1.5Ueq for methyl) of the parent atom.

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.
