(Received 25 November 2013; accepted 18 December 2013; online 24 December 2013)

The title binuclear compound, [Cu2(CH3COO)4(C6H4N2)2], lies about an inversion center, with the CuII cation bridged by four acetate anions and coordinated by a pyridine N atom in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The Cu⋯Cu distance is 2.5997 (15) Å. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supra­molecular architecture. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor twin component of 4.1 (1)%.

Comment top

The Cu–N complexes have occupied an important position in catalytic processes. In connection with on-going studies into the structural characterization of tetrakisacetatobis[(substituted 2-aminopyridyl)copper] complexes (Fairuz et al., 2010; Chang et al. (2011), the title complex, (I), was investigated. The binuclear copper(II) complex, Fig. 1, is situated about a centre of inversion and features two Cu II atoms bridged by four acetate groups. The Cu–O bond distances ranged from 1.941 (4) to 1.980 (4) Å (Table 1). The distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment for the Cu atom is completed by a pyridine-N atom and four carboxyl-O atoms of acetate anions. In the binuclear compound, the Cu ···Cu distance is 2.5997 (15) Å. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonds into three dimensional supramolecular architecture.

Experimental top

2-Cyanopyridine (23.1233 g, 30 mmol) was added to a THF solution (60 ml) of Cu(OAc)2.H2O (1.9972 g, 5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously while refluxing for 48 h. The filtrate was slowly evaporated, the blue single crystals were obtained.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in calculated position with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.96 Å (methyl), and refined in a riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atom.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
