Copper complexes with N-allylisoquinolinium halides: Synthesis and crystal structures of [C9H7N(C3H5)]2CuIICl2.86Br1.14, [C9H7N(C3H5)CuIBr2] · H2O, and [C9H7N(C3H5)CuIBr2]

Crystals of the copper bromide complexes with N-allylisoquinolinium halides of the composition [C₉H₇N(C₃H₅)]₂Cu^IICl_2.86Br_1.14 (I), [C₉H₇N(C₃H₅)]Cu^IBr₂ · H₂O (II), and [C₉H₇N(C₃H₅)]Cu^IBr₂ (III) are prepared by ac electrochemical synthesis, and their structures are studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (DARCh-1 (for I) and KUMA/CCD (for II and III) diffractometers). The crystals of compound I are monoclinic: space group P2₁/n, a = 15.053(5) Å, b = 10.486(4) Å, c = 17.179(10) Å, γ = 109.77(3)°, V = 2552(4) ų, Z = 4.

The structure of compound I is built of the Cu^IIX ₄ ^2? tetrahedra and N-allylisoquinolinium cations united by the C-H···X contacts into corrugated layers. The crystal structure of π-complex II is formed of dimers of the composition [C₉H₇(C₃H₅)]₂ Cu ₂ ^I Br₄ forming layers in the direction of the z axis due to the C-H···X contacts. An important role in structure formation belongs to water molecules that cross-link the organometallic layers through the O-H···X contacts into a three-dimensional framework. When kept in the mother liquor for 6 months, the crystals of compound II transformed into crystals of compound III, whose structure consists of {[C₉H₇(C₃H₅)]₂Cu ₂ ^I Br₄} _n columns united through the C-H···Br contacts (H···Br 2.84(3)?2.92(4) Å) into a three-dimensional framework.

All the three complexes contain sandwich-like crystal structures, in which anionic sheets built up from different anions (Pzdc^2?, Bpdc^2?, Sa^?) and lattice water molecules via rich hydrogen-bonding interactions are inserted between the cationic silver complexes layers. The lattice water molecules are situated among the framework of the crystal structure and stabilized by rich hydrogen-bonding interactions, and lattice water molecules may play a role in the orientation of the organic anions in the crystal packing.
