The ligand, L, bis(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)(2-phenylethyl)amine, was synthesized by the reaction of two equivalents [Please give actual amounts] of (2-bromomethyl)(6-methyl)pyridine with 2-phenylethyl-amine in refluxing acetonitrile (Volume?) for 24 h in the presence of sodium carbonate. The title copper(II) dimer was obtained by the treatment of a dichloromethane solution of the copper(I) complex [prepared in situ from Cu(CH3CN)4ClO4 and the ligand] with molecular oxygen at room temperature. After standing overnight, crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were separated.
Caution: Perchlorate complexes are potentially explosive, and should be handled very carefully. The small quantities used in our studies were not found to present a hazard.
H atoms bound to C atoms were included in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and allowed to ride with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq(C). The hydroxy atom H1 was located in a difference Fourier map and its isotropic displacement parameter was subsequently refined, but its coordinates were kept fixed. During the last stages of refinement, some disorder was observed for the perchlorate O atoms not involved in hydrogen bonding (O3, O4 and O5). This was modelled using two positions, A and B, for each O atom. The partial occupancies were first refined and then held constant at the convergence values of 0.55 and 0.45, respectively. The Cl—O distance for the disordered atoms was restrained to be 1.42 (1) Å.

Experimental. Each frame was mesured during 10 s, using 0.3 /% between frames. |
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. |

The finding that the reaction of molecular oxygen with aromatic organic substrates can be catalyzed by CuI complexes has produced an increasing interest in the study of its properties (Spodine & Manzur, 1992; Mizuno et al., 2006). It has also attracted interest for modelling oxygen-carrying (van Holde et al., 2001) and oxygenating or oxidoreductase proteins (Solomon et al., 2001; Brazeau et al., 2004). Normally, bis(hydroxo)-bridged dicopper(II) complexes are the final products of the reaction between cuprous complexes and dioxygen (Mirica et al., 2004; Rojas et al., 2004). In this context, one of the most interesting family of ligands is the bis(pyridine-2-ylalkyl)amines (Mirica et al., 2004; Shearer et al., 2005), since their steric and electronic properties can be varied over a wide range (Hayashi et al., 2000).
The structure of the title compound, (I), consists of a molecular cation with the charge counterbalanced by two perchlorate anions. The molecular dication corresponds to a dimer exhibiting two [CuL]2+ units which are connected by two hydroxyl ligands, acting in a µ2-fashion. The ligand L is connected to each CuII centre in a tridentate fashion through its N donor atoms. The coordination geometry around each CuII centre is best described as a square-based pyramid (τ < 0.01; Addison et al., 1984), with two pyridyl N atoms (N1 and N3) and two hydroxyl O atoms [O1 and O1i; symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] in a cis configuration occupying the basal positions, leaving the amine atom N2 at the remaining apical one. The dication is then constructed around a central Cu2O2 parallelogram of sides 1.931 (2) (Cu—O1) and 1.935 (2) Å (Cu—O1i) with a Cu—O—Cu angle of 102.55 (11)°. The existence of a (crystallographic) inversion centre is a consequence of the anti configuration of both apical sites with respect to the central Cu2O2 plane. This coordination mode for 6-methylpyridyl tridentate amine complexes has been previously described in related cupric compounds as an amine-e/e mode (Rojas et al., 2004; Manzur et al., 2007). The measured Cu···Cu distance is 3.0161 (8) Å, which lies in the longest segment of the values described for this coordination mode in some closely related complexes (Rojas et al., 2004; Manzur et al., 2007).
Interestingly, the centroid of the C12–C17 phenyl group on the phenylethyl arm of the L ligand coordinated to one of the CuII centres points directly to the methyl group [C7ii; symmetry code: (ii) 2 - x,2 - y,1 - z] of its neigbouring L ligand in the dimer. The centroid-to-carbon distance, Cg1···C7ii, is 3.671 (1) Å, while the three H···Cg1 distances amount to 3.47 (1) Å.
As described for [L'(CH3CN)Cu(µ-OH)2Cu(CH3CN)L'](ClO4)2, where L' is bis{dibenzyl[6-methyl-2-(pyridylmethyl)amine]} (Rojas et al., 2005), the perchlorate anions and hydroxyl groups of (I) interact via hydrogen bonding (Fig. 2 and Table 2). These interactions cause the deviation of the O—H vector by 63.9° from the Cu2O2 plane, with each of the two H atoms on opposite sides of the plane. It has been pointed out that the deviation of these H atoms from the Cu2O2 plane plays an important role in determining the magnetic coupling exchange in binuclear copper(II) complexes (Ruiz et al., 1997).
Although a packing view of the structure of (I) suggests some additional Cl—O···H interactions, the disorder observed for three of the perchlorate O atoms precludes their accurate characterization.
