Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of dichlorido(methanol-κO)bis(2-methylpyridine-κN)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [CuCl2(C6H7N)2(CH3OH)], the copper atom is five-coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of 2-methylpyridine ligands, two chloro ligands and an oxygen atom of the methanol molecule, being in a tetragonal–pyramidal environment with N and Cl atoms forming the basal plane. In the crystal, complex molecules related by the twofold rotation axis are joined into dimeric units by pairs of O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. These dimeric units are assembled through C—H...Cl interactions into layers parallel to (001).

Bis(2-methylpyridinium) tetrachloridocuprate(II): synthesis, structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

“…A similar marked deviation from the standard tetrahedral angle has been previously observed by other research groups (Wyrzykowski et al, 2011;Jasrotia et al, 2018). The Cu-Cl bond lengths [Cu1-Cl1 = 2.250 (1) Å , Cu1-Cl2 = 2.249 (1) Å ] agree well with those reported for other structures (Marsh et al, 1982;Dodds et al, 2018;Molano et al, 2020;Reddy, 2020…”

“…These interactions play a crucial role in the overall stabilization of the crystal packing. Marsh et al, 1982) and [aqua-dichloro-bis(2methylpyridine)Cu(II)] (CCDC refcode BIJWUM; Marsh et al, 1982) and a very recently published dichloridomethanolbis(2-methylpyridine)Cu(II) complex (Reddy, 2020). All of these structures display three-dimensional supramolecular networks stabilized by C-HÁ Á ÁCl and O-HÁ Á ÁCl interactions.…”

“…Pyridine dicarboxylate (PDC) derivatives have also been successfully employed as building blocks to construct metal-organic compounds of fascinating structural topologies [23,24]. A 2methylpyridine (2-Mepy) moiety has also been used to construct metal-organic compounds with interesting structural topologies [25,26].…”
