The Eschweiler-Clarke reaction of ethylenediamine with formaldehyde and formic acid yielded N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine, which was alkylated with allyl chloride or allyl bromide to give the corresponding N,N′-diallyl-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediaminium (L²⁺) dihalides. In methanolic solutions of copper(II) halide and an appropriate ligand, ac electrochemical synthesis with copper wire electrodes afforded single crystals of Cu(I) complexes with L²⁺: [L_0.5CuCl₂] (I), [L_0.5CuCl_0.72Br_1.28] (II), and [L_0.5CuBr₂] (III). The crystal structures of complexes I–III were determined by X-ray diffraction study. The isostructural crystals of I and II are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4. For I: a = 7.632(4) Å, b = 11.318(5) Å, c = 10.635(5) Å, β = 98.551(7)°, V = 908.4(7) ų. For II: a = 7.7415(7) Å, b = 11.4652(9) Å, c = 10.7267(10) Å, β = 98.351(4)°, V = 942.0(2) ų. The organic cation L²⁺ acts as a bridge linking a pair of separate cuprous halide fragments Cu₂X₄. Although being isostoichiometric with I and II, complex III has a different structure. The crystals of III are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 6.519(2) Å, b = 9.060(3) Å, c = 16.284(6) Å, β = 97.219(4)°, V = 954.2(6) ų, Z = 4. In structure III, the inorganic fragment forms infinite polymer chains (CuBr ₂ ^? ) _n . The organic and inorganic parts are held together only by electrostatic interactions. Structures I–III are stabilized by hydrogen bonds (C)H…X (2.6–2.9 Å).

N,N,N??,N??-tetramethylethylenediamine is obtained by the reaction of ethylenediamine with formaldehyde and formic acid (the Eschweiler-Clarke reaction) and then alkylated with allyl chloride (or bromide) in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 to obtain N-allyl-N,N,N??,N??-tetramethylethylenediaminium and N,N??-diallyl-N,N,N??,N??-tetramethylethylenediaminium bromide respectively. [{C₂H₄N₂(H⁺)(CH₃)₄(C₃H₅)}Cu₄Cl₆] (1) and [{C₂H₄N₂(CH₃)₄(C₃H₅)2}_0.5Cu₂Cl_1.67Br_1.33] (2) ??-complexes are obtained from alcohol solutions containing an ethylenediamine derivative and copper(II) chloride by ac-electrochemical synthesis on copper wire electrodes. An XRD study of the complexes is carried out. The crystals are monoclinic; 1: P2₁/n space group, a = 9.0081(6) ?, b = 12.5608(7) ?, c = 16.8610(10) ?, ?? = 102.061(3)°, V = 1865.7(2) ?³, Z = 4; 2: C2/c space group, a = 14.462(2) ?, b = 12.519(1) ?, c = 12.762(2) ?, ?? = 107.861(5)°, V = 2199.1(4) ?³, Z = 8. The structure of 1 consists of infinite copper halide networks with four crystallographically independent copper atoms, one of which coordinates the double bond of the allyl group of the ligand. The [C₂H₄N₂(H)(CH₃)₄(C₃H₅)]²⁺ cations are attached above and below the plane of the network. The individual fragments are bonded via an extensive system of (N)H??Cl and (C)H??Cl hydrogen bonds. The structure of 2 contains a three-dimensional copper halide framework whose cavities contain the [C₂H₄N₂(CH₃)₄(C₃H₅)₂]²⁺ cations that are ??-coordinated with copper(I) atoms. In both structures, the Cu(I) atom that coordinates the C=C bond has a trigonal-pyramidal coordination environment consisting of the double C=C bond of the corresponding ligand and three halogen atoms. The other Cu(I) atoms have a tetrahedral environment consisting solely of halogen atoms. The Cu-(C=C) distance is 1.958(1) ?, (1) and 1.974(1) ? (2).

According to the data of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, compounds I and II have ionic structures. In complex cations, the Cu²⁺ ion coordinates four N atoms of tetradentate chelate ligand, namely, the H₂L molecule. The coordination surrounding of the Cu atom in I is a distorted square CuN₄, while in II, it is a distorted square pyramid CuN₄Cl. The complex anion [CuCl₂]^? in II has linear structure.

This paper reports the ac electrochemical synthesis of the crystals of Cu(I) hexafluorosilicate π-complex with N,N′-diallylpiperazinium of the composition [Cu(H₂O)_2.5{μ-C₄H₈N₂H₂(C₃H₅)₂}_0.5]SiF₆·H₂O, i.e., the π-complex of Cu(I) synthesized for the first time, where the Cu(I) atom simultaneously coordinates three H₂O molecules.

Copper(I) halide complexes with a sterically hindered thiourea: synthesis and crystal structures of [Cu(dchtu)2Cl] and [Cu(dchtu)2Br] (dchtu = N,N ′-dicyclohexylthiourea)

Copper(I) complexes with a sterically hindered thiourea, [Cu(dchtu)₂X] (dchtu = N,N′-dicyclohexylthiourea; X=Cl 1, Br 2), were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁. Crystallographic data for 1 : a = 13.1711(13), b = 14.2610(19), c = 15.793(2) Å, V = 2966.4(6) ų, Z = 4. For 2 : a = 13.2628(13), b = 14.3410(19), c = 15.860(2) Å, V = 3016.5(6) ų, Z = 4. The stoichiometry of CuX complexes with thiourea is influenced by substituents on the nitrogens. Copper(I) halides only form bis-adducts with the sterically hindered dchtu ligand even with molar excesses of dchtu due to steric hinderance of the cyclohexyl substituents. In 1 and 2, the Cu(I) is trigonally coordinated by the sulfur atoms of two monodentate N,N′-dicyclohexylthiourea ligands and one halide. The structures of the complexes are stabilized by a system of intermolecular H-bonding.

The Bi atoms in the anion of complex II have a distorted octahedral coordination polyhedron (Bi-I 3.0878(4)–3.1240(3), Bi-N(1) 2.628(3) Å).

N,N′-methylenedipyridinium Pt(II) and Pt(IV) hybrid salts: synthesis, crystal and molecular structures of [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl4] and [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl6]

The highly insoluble organic-inorganic hybrid ionic compounds N,N??-methylenedipyridinium tetrachloroplatinate(II) [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₄] and N,N??-methylenedipyridinium hexachloroplatinate(IV) [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₆] were obtained by the treatment of N,N??-methylenedipyridinium dichloride monohydrate [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂]Cl₂ · H₂O with K₂[PtCl₄] or (NH₄)₂[PtCl₆], respectively, in an aqueous solution. Both complexes were isolated, purified, characterised by elemental analysis, and their molecular structures were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of both compounds consists of separated discrete dications [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂]²⁺ and anions [PtCl _n ]^2? (n = 4 or 6). As anticipated, the dications formed a butterfly shape consisting of two pyridine rings bound to the methylene group via their N atoms, while the Pt centre had a square planar geometry in [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₄] and an octahedral coordination in [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₆]. Interestingly, both crystal structures are stabilised by intermolecular C-H??Cl non-standard hydrogen bonds, ??-?? ring interactions between two pyridine rings of adjacent dications, and also by Cl-?? interactions.

Synthesis and Structural Features of Copper(I) Chloride and Bromide Complexes with the N,N,N′,N′-Tetraallylpiperasinium Cation (L2+) of Compositions L2+[CuCl2]– 2 and L2+[CuBr3]2–

Crystals of the -complex [C₄H₈N₂(C₃H₅)₄]²⁺[CuCl₂]^– ₂ (I) were prepared by ac electrochemical synthesis from copper and N,N,N,N-tetraallylpiperasinium chlorides in alcohol solution. Similar synthesis with the use of the metal and N,N,N,N-tetraallylpiperasinium bromides yielded the complex [C₄H₈N₂(C₃H₅)₄]²⁺[CuBr₃]^2– (II). Structures I and II were studied by X-ray diffraction (DARCh automated single-crystal diffractometer, MoK radiation). Crystals of I are triclinic, space group P1¯, a = 8.650(3) Å, b = 7.572(2) Å, c = 8.095(3) Å, = 100.45(2)°, = 83.91(2)°, = 99.89(2)°, V = 512.1(6) ų, Z = 1. Crystals of II are orthorhombic, space group Pn2₁ a, a = 17.673(3) Å, b = 14.369(6) Å, c = 8.244(2) Å, V = 2093(2) ų, Z = 4. In structure I, the potentially tetradentate N,N,N,N-tetraallylpiperasinium cation uses two centrosymmetric allyl groups for bonding with copper atoms, whose environment is completed to the trigonal-planar coordination with the chlorine atoms. The [C₄H₈N₂(C₃H₅)₄]²⁺[CuCl₂]^– ₂ groups are joined into a three-dimensional framework by weak hydrogen bonds. The inorganic fragment CuCl^– ₂ is partially disordered, which appears as splitting of the positions of the copper atom and one of the chlorine atom. In compound II, the inorganic fragment occurs as an unusual trigonal-planar CuBr^2– ₃ anion; the N,N,N,N-tetraallylpiperasinium cation is not involved in metal coordination.

The coordination chemistry of mono and bis(di-2-pyridylamine)copper(II) complexes: preparation,characterization and crystal structures of [Cu(L)(NO2)2], [Cu(L)(H2O)2(SO4)], [Cu(L)2(NCS)](SCN)·0.5DMSO and [Cu(L)2(SCN)2]

The crystal structures of two mono(dpyam)copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dpyam)(NO₂)₂] (1) and [Cu(dpyam)(H₂O)₂(SO₄)] (2) and two dithiocyanate compounds containing bis(dpyam)copper(II) units, [Cu(dpyam)₂(NCS)](SCN)·0.5DMSO (3) and [Cu(dpyam)₂(SCN)₂] (4) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The second orthorhombic form of the monomeric Cu(II) complex 1 was obtained by the reaction of di-2-pyridylamine (dpyam) with CuCl and NaNO₂ in water–methanol solution. Each copper(II) ion in 1 exhibits a tetrahedrally-distorted square base of the CuN₂O₂ chromophore, with off-the-z-axis coordinated nitrito groups weakly bound in approximately axial positions. Complex 2 is an example of a polymeric copper(II) derivative containing the bidentate bridging sulfate ligand in the long-bonded axial positions. Each copper(II) ion in 2 shows an elongated tetragonal octahedral stereochemistry. The CuN₄N′ chromophore of 3 involves a square-based pyramidal structure, slightly distorted towards a trigonal bipyramidal stereochemistry, τ=0.13. One of the SCN⁻ anions is bonded to the copper(II) ion via the N atom in the axial position of the square pyramid. Complex 4 is centrosymmetric and octahedrally elongated, with the SCN⁻ anions coordinating in axial positions via the S atom. The structures of complexes 1–4 and their ESR and electronic reflectance spectra are compared with those of related complexes.
