Synthesis and crystal structures of bromo(1,10-phenanthroline-N,N ')tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphinocopper(I) and bromo(2,2 '-bipyridine-N,N ')tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphinocopper(I)

摘要

The two new complexes bromo(1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphinocopper(I) and bromo(2,2'-bipyridine-N,N')tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphinocopper(I) were synthesized and their X-ray crystal structures were determined. The first complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with the crystal cell parameters a = 7.7596(7) angstrom, b = 11.470(1) angstrom, c = 12.803(1) angstrom, alpha = 78.884(1)degrees, beta = 79.759(1)degrees, gamma= 86.867(1)degrees, V = 1100.0(2) angstrom(3) and Z = 2. The second complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with the crystal cell parameters a = 10.614(1) angstrom, b = 12.345(1) angstrom, c = 31.903(3) angstrom, V = 4180.3(7) angstrom(3) and Z = 8. In both compounds, the copper(I) ion is four-coordinate with a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the 1,10-phenanthroline complex, an intermolecular dipole-dipole interaction between two cyano groups stabilizes an unfavorable synclinal conformation of one cyanoethyl group of the phosphine ligand.
