In the centrosymmetric binuclear title compound, [Cu2Br2(C12H10N5S)2]·2CH3OH, the CuII ion adopts a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The hydrazine carbothioamide moiety and one of the pyridyl rings together adopt an almost planar arrangement, with a maximum deviation of 0.052 (4) Å for the C atom of the thiourea moiety. There are two molecules of methanol solvent per complex in the asymmetric unit. The nonconventional intramolecular C—HBr hydrogen bonds make the molecule more rigid, whereas the conventional N—HN and O—HBr intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions, supported with N—Hπ interactions, establish a supramolecular linkage among the molecules in the crystal. An intermolecular C—HO interaction is also present.

The CuII atoms in the title coordination polymer, {[Cu(C13H11N4O)(C2N3)]·H2O}n, are N,N′,O-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base ligands, and adjacent metal atoms are bridged by the dicyanamide ions, generating a polymeric chain that propagates along the b axis. The two independent metal atoms show a square-pyramidal N4O coordination. The two independent water molecules are disordered over two positions; each water molecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to a carbonyl O atom. Weak N—HN hydrogen bonding is also observed.

The CuII atom in the title compound, [Cu(C13H11N4O)(NCO)], is N,N′,O-chelated by the mono-deprotonated Schiff base ligand and it is also covalently bonded to the nitrogen end of the cyanate ion. The CuII atom shows a square-planar coordination that is distorted towards square-pyramidal owing to an intermolecular CuNcyanate interaction [2.623 (2) Å], which gives a centrosymmetric dimer. In the square-planar description, the CuII atom is displaced out of the square plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.048 Å] by 0.084 (1) Å in the direction of the apical occupant. In the crystal, adjacent complex dimers are linked by an amine N—HN hydrogen-bond pair, also giving a centrosymmetric cyclic association [graph set R22(8)], generating a linear chain parallel to [110].

The CuII atom in the title compound, [CuCl2(C16H15N3O)]·H2O, is N,N′,O-chelated by the neutral Schiff base ligand and exists in a square-pyramidal geometry. It is displaced by 0.316 (1) Å out of the square plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å) in the direction of the apical Cl atom. The apical Cl atoms of adjacent complex units are hydrogen-bond acceptors to two water molecules, the interaction generating a centrosymmetric dimer through a cyclic R42(8) association.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C9H10N3O3)Cl], contains two independent molecules with similar structures. The CuII cation is N,O,O′-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base ligand and is further coordinated by a Cl− anion in a distorted ClNO2 square-planar geometry. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by N—HO and N—HCl hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to [100].

In the title compound, [Cu2(C13H11N4S)2(N3)2], the CuII cation is N,N′,S-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base ligand and is coordinated by the azide anion, while an N atom from an adjacent azide anion bridges the CuII cation at the apical position with a longer Cu—N distance of 2.533 (3) Å, completing the distorted N4S square-pyramidal coordination geometry. A pair of azide anions bridge the two CuII cations, forming a centrosymmetric binuclear molecule. In the crystal, the binuclear molecules are linked by an N—HN hydrogen bond into a ribbon running along the a axis.

The CuII atom in the title compound, [Cu(NCS)2(C16H15N3O)], is bonded to the N atoms of two thiocyanate ions, and is N,N′-chelated by the Schiff base ligand. The four N atoms surround the metal atom to form a distorted square; the square environment is distorted towards a square pyramid by a long CuO interaction. In the crystal, two C atoms of the pyrrolidin-2-one ring are disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio.
