The apical positions are occupied by an N atom of the second ligand [CuÐN = 2.208 (2) A Ê ], and an O atom of the tri uoromethanesulfonate anion [CuÐO = 2.747 (2) A Ê ] at a semi-coordination distance. Pairs of inversion-related NÐHN hydrogen bonds of the so-called Watson±Crick type, augmented by two CÐHN contacts, link adjacent complexes into an in nite onedimensional chain running in the [101] direction. Comment In recent years, the anionic dicyanamide ligand has attracted much interest, in the form of M II (dca) 2 [where M is Ni, Co or Cu, and dca is N(CN) 2 ], as a new class of molecule-based magnetic materials (Batten et al., 1998; Batten & Murray, 2001; Manson et al., 1999). In the eld of crystal engineering, the number of X-ray crystal structures of compounds with the dca anion showing one-, two- and three-dimensional networks has increased enormously in the last few years (e.g. Kohout et al., 2000; Vangdal et al., 2002; Mohamadou et al., 2003; Kooijman et al., 2002; Shi et al., 2003). Dicyanamide itself is an interesting anionic bridging ligand and can act as a monodentate, bidentate or even tridentate ligand (Mrozin ski et al., 1997; Escuer et al., 2000). Various coordination modes of the dicyanamide ligand and the metal can occur, such as monodentate bonding via the nitrile atom, coordination via the amide atom (Marshall et al., 2002; Mohamadou et al., 2003; Shi et al., 2003; Vangdal et al., 2002), and even 4 and 5 coordination, where nitrile atoms bridge two metal atoms (Chow & Britton, 1975; Shi et al., 2002). However, in most cases, monodentate or bidentate coordination via the nitrile N atom is found. In the eld of supramolecular chemistry, not only are direct metal±ligand bonds of interest, but hydrogen bonding is also of great importance (Beatty, 2001; RodrõÂguez-Martin et al., 2002; Nedelcu et al., 2003; Kutasi et al., 2002; Riggio et al., 2001). One ligand with interesting hydrogen-bonding properties is the recently developed di-2-pyrimidylamine (abbreviated as dipm). The dipm molecule can both donate and accept hydrogen bonds, and has a more or less linear donor± acceptor array of type ADA. This type of array is capable of forming so-called Watson±Crick-type hydrogen bonds (van Albada et al., 2002), as was also shown in the literature for the rst generation ligand 2-aminopyrimidine (van Albada, Quiroz-Castro et al., 2000; van Albada, Smeets et al., 2000). To date, only one X-ray crystal structure determination of a dipm-containing complex has been published, [Cu(dipm)- (CO 3 )(H 2 O)]2H 2 O (van Albada et al., 2002). In this paper, we present the crystal structure of a new complex of copper with the dipm molecule as ligand, which has the formulation [Cu(dca)(dipm) 2 (tms)], (I), where tms is the tri uoromethylsulfonate anion. An atomic displacement ellipsoid plot of this complex is given in Fig. 1, together with the atomic labelling scheme. Selected geometric parameters are given in Table 1. The geometry around the Cu II ion in (I) is distorted octahedral, with the basal plane formed by two pyrimidinyl N atoms of one of the coordinating dipm molecules (N111 and N121), one pyrimidinyl N atom of the second coordinating dipm molecule (N211) and a nitrile N atom (N2) of the dca ligand. The CuÐN distances are in the range 1.972 (2)± 2.021 (2) A Ê. The trans-basal angles are 176.41 (8) (N111Ð Cu1ÐN211) and 165.33 (9) (N2ÐCu1ÐN121). The apical positions are occupied by a pyrimidinyl N atom (N221) of the second dipm ligand, at a distance of 2.208 (2) A Ê, and by an O atom (O1) of the tri uoromethanesulfonate anion at a semicoordination distance of 2.747 (2) A Ê. The dipm molecules in (I) show a signi cant difference in conformation. The angle between the least-squares planes through the pyrimidine rings is 33.71 (12) in the ligand containing atom N11 and 11.73 (13) in the molecule containing atom N21. In the dipm±copper±carbonate complex Acta Cryst. (2004). C60, m51±m54 DOI: 10.1107/S0108270103028385 # 2004 International Union of Crystallography m51

reported previously, the dipm molecule is virtually planar, with a ring±ring angle of 1.80 (11). The lattice of (I) is stabilized by two crystallographically independent hydrogen-bonding systems, both of the so-called Watson±Crick type (Fig. 2). The systems are formed by donation of a hydrogen bond by the amine N atom of a dipm molecule (either N11 or N21) to a non-coordinating pyrimidinyl N atom of an inversion-related dipm molecule (N113 or N213, respectively). Due to the crystallographic inversion symmetry, a hydrogen-bonded ring is formed with unitary graph-set R 2 2(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The hydrogen-bonded system involving atom N11 is formed around the inversion centre at ( 1 2, 1 2, 1 2 ), while that involving atom N21 is formed around the centre at (0, 1 2, 0). Geometric details are given in Table 2. The hydrogen-bonded systems link the copper complexes into an in nite one-dimensional chain running in the [101] direction. Within each chain, the copper complexes are linked alternately by hydrogen-bonded systems involving atoms N11 or N21 (Fig. 2). This arrangement of hydrogen-bonded dipm molecules may facilitate the formation of two CÐHN contacts adjacent to the NÐHN hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of a quadruply hydrogen-bonded array of type DADA (a review of quadruply hydrogen-bonded systems is given by Sijbesma & Meijer, 2003). Due to the deviations from planarity of the dipm molecules, the CÐHN contacts are somewhat long, especially that involving C114ÐH114 (Table 2). However, these contacts may still play a role in the stabilization of the hydrogen-bonded network of (I). The dipm±copper±carbonate complex reported previously displayed a similar hydrogen-bonded structure (van Albada et al., 2002). The non-coordinating nitrile moiety of the dca anion in (I) does not accept any hydrogen bonds. There is a close contact [2.947 (4) A Ê, i.e. approximately 0.2 A Ê less than the sum of the van der Waals radii] between atom N3 of the dca anion and atom C122(1 x, y 1 2, 1 2 z) of a dipm molecule. Atom N3 also displays a short contact to atom C112 of the same dipm molecule, with a distance of 3.086 (3) A Ê. Contacts of the type C NCsp 2 X 3, where X = C, N, O, P, S or halogen, are not unusual. The July 2003 update of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002) contains approximately 150 examples with NC distances in the range 2.8±3.2 A Ê, 23 of which display contact distances shorter than the value observed in the crystal structure of (I). Figure 2 A plot showing a fragment of the hydrogen-bonded network in (I) in the [101] direction. The hydrogen-bonded ring involving atom N11 is highlighted in light grey and that involving atom N21 in dark grey. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum for (I), measured as a polycrystalline powder at room temperature and at 77 K, shows an axial S = 1 2 signal, with g = 2.06, a value typical for Cu II and in agreement with a d x 2 y ground 2 state. Figure 1 A view of the structure of (I), showing the atom-numbering scheme and displacement ellipsoids at the 50% probability level. H atoms bonded to C atoms have been omitted for clarity. Experimental The dipm ligand was synthesized using the method of Yao et al. (2000). Metal salts and solvents were commercially available and used without further puri cation. The title compound was synthesized by mixing equimolar amounts of copper(ii) tri uoromethanesulfonate, sodium dicyanamide and di-2-pyrimidylamine in an ethanol±water (1:1) mixture. After standing in air at room temperature for about two weeks, blue±green block-shaped crystals of (I) were formed which were suitable for X-ray structure determination. IR analysis: the characteristic tri uoromethanesulfonate vibrations are observed at 1255, 1246, 1223, 1154 and 1026 cm 1 (van Albada et al., 1997, 1998). The characteristic IR vibrations for the dicyanamide anion are found in the 2400±2100 cm 1 region (Kohout et al., 2000). The s + as (CÐN) vibration is observed as two weak-to-medium bands at 2361 and 2294 cm 1, and the (C N) vibration is observed as two medium-to-strong bands at 2238 and 2167 cm 1. These vibrations occur in the ranges found for other polymeric copper(ii) dicyanamide compounds (Kohout et al., 2000; Riggio et al., 2001; van Albada, Quiroz-Castro et al., 2000; van Albada, Smeets et al., 2000). m52 Huub Kooijman et al.

An absorption correction based on multiple measurements of symmetry-related re ections had little in uence on R int, R1 and the residual density. The correction was therefore not considered necessary and was not applied to the re ection data. The amine H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and their coordinates were re ned. The other H atoms were placed in calculated positions, riding on their carrier atoms. U iso (H) values were set at 1.5 or 1.2 times U eq (parent atom) for amine H atoms and other H atoms, respectively. The unit cell contains two symmetry-related cavities located on the crystallographic inversion centres at ( 1 2,0,1 2 ) and ( 1 2, 1 2, 0), lled with disordered solvent, probably ethanol. The volume of each cavity is 81 A Ê 3. Attempts to model an ethanol molecule into the solvent density did not result in an acceptable model. There are no groups lining the cavity which could accept a hydrogen bond from the solvent. The contribution of the disordered solvent to the scattering factors was taken into account with PLATON/SQUEEZE (Spek, 2003; van der Sluis & Spek, 1990). A total of 24 e was found in each cavity, corresponding to approximately one ethanol molecule per cavity. Where relevant, the crystal data reported earlier in this paper are given without the contribution of the disordered solvent. Taking into account the presence of one ethanol molecule per cavity, the following values are obtained: C 19 H 14 CuF 3 N 13 O 3 S0.5C 2 H 6 O, M r = 648.05, = 1.065 mm 1, F(000) = 1312 and D x = 1.708 Mg m 3.
