(Nitrato-?(2) O,O')bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-?(2) N,N')copper(II) tricyano-methanide.


ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Cu(NO3)(C12H8N2)2][C(CN)3], is formed of discrete [Cu(NO3)(phen)2](+) complex cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) and C(CN)3(-) counter-anions. The Cu(II) atom has an asymmetric tetragonal-bipyramidal (4 + 1+1) stereochemistry with a pseudo-C2 symmetry axis bis-ecting the nitrate ligand and passing through the Cu(II) atom between the two phen ligands. The four N atoms of the phen ligands coordinate to the Cu(II) atom with Cu-N distances in the range 1.974?(2)-2.126?(2)?Å, while the two O atoms coordinate at substanti-ally different distances [2.154?(2) and 2.586?(2)?Å]. The structure is stabilized by C-H?O hydrogen bonds and weak ?-? inter-actions between nearly parallel benzene and pyridine rings of two adjacent phen mol-ecules, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.684?(2) and 3.6111?(2)?Å, and between ?-electrons of the tricyano-methanide anion and the pyridine or benzene rings [N?(ring centroid) distances = 3.553?(3)-3.875?(3)?Å].
