In the structure of the title complex, [Cu2(C25H22P2)2(C12H8N2)2](BF4)2·2CH2Cl2, the two Cu centres are bridged by two bis­(diphenyl­phosphino)methane (dppm) ligands to form a centrosymmetric eight-membered Cu2P4C2 ring. The coordination of polyhedron of each Cu atom is distorted tetra­hedral.

Comment top

The four-electron-donor diphosphine ligand, bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm), is a very efficient bridging bidentate ligand and can form polynuclear complexes with most metal ions (Puddephatt, 1983; Morton & Orpen, 1992). Copper(I) complexes with dppm have received the most attention, due to their diverse coordination geometry and rich photophysical properties (Jitendra et al., 1999; Yam et al., 2001). Here, we report the preparation and crystal structure determination of the title compound, (I), a new dinuclear copper(I) complex with dppm.

The molecular structure of (I) is illustrated in Fig. 1, and selected bond distances and angles are given in Table 1. Compound (I) consists of a centrosymmetric dimer of [Cu(phen)(dppm)]+ cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline), tetrafluoroborate anions and solvent dichloromethane molecules. The two Cu centres are bridged by two dppm ligands to form a centrosymmetric eight-membered Cu2P4C2 ring. The remaining coordination sites on each Cu atom are occpuied by two N atoms of a phen ligand. The CuI atoms adopt a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, with the angles around the Cu atoms ranging from 79.2 (2)° for N1—Cu1—N2 to 133.33 (8)° for P1—Cu1—P2A.

Compound (I) can be regarded as similar to [Cu2(µ2-dppm)2(phen)2](PF6)2·2(CH3COCH3) (Kitagawa et al., 1991). The Cu—N and Cu—P bond distance are within the normal ranges (Reference for standard values?) and similar to those in the above-mentioned complex. The Cu···Cu separation of 4.720 (5) Å is shorter than that in the trinuclear complexes [Cu3(dppm)33-X)2]+ (X is Cl, Br and I; Jitendra et al., 1999).

Experimental top

Reaction of equimolar amounts of [Cu(CH3CN)4]BF4, phen and dppm in dichloromethane under a dinitrogen atmosphere gave an orange solution. Yellow crystals of (I), suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis, were obtained by vapour diffusion of diethyl ether into the dichloromethane solution.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding atoms, with C—H bond distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The tetrafluoroborate anion and solvent dichloromethane molecules are disordered, with occupanices of 0.768:0.232 for the tetrafluoroborate anion and 0.5:0.5 for dichloromethane. [Please state how these occupancies were derived, and give s.u. values if appropriate]

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.
