Self-assembly of 1D- and 3D-networks through non-coordination intermolecular forces: synthesis and crystal structures of copper(I) complexes based on pyridazine-type ligands

subject

description

Reaction of [Cu2(H3CCN)2(μ-pydz)3][PF6]2 (1) with an excess of pyridazine or phthalazine yielded the novel dinuclear complexes [Cu2(μ-pydz)3(pydz)2][PF6]2 (2) and [Cu2 (μ- pydz)(μ-phtz)2(phtz)2][PF6]2 (5), respectively. Depolymerisation of the coordination polymer 1 ∞ {[Cu(μ-pydz)2][PF6]} (3) in dichloromethane by addition of an excess of benzo[c]cinnoline afforded the dinuclear copper(I) salt [Cu2(μ-pydz)2(pydz)2(benzo[c]cinnoline)2][PF6]2 (4). Furthermore, a new route for the preparation of bis(benzonitrile)tris(μ-phthalazine)dicopper(I) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate), [Cu2(C6H5CN)2(μ-phtz)3][CF3SO3]2 (7), was established from {[Cu(CF3SO3)]2 ・C6H5Me}, phthalazine and benzonitrile via the very air-sensitive intermediate [Cu2(CF3SO3)2(μ-phtz)3] (6). Copper(I) compounds 2, 4, and 7 were completely characterised and the molecular structures confirmed in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The analysis of the packing of the molecules in crystals of 4 and 7 revealed a self-assembly of oneand three-dimensional frameworks, respectively, resulting from intermolecular π-π stacking interactions between pyridazine-type ligands
