Crystal structure of trans-(1,8-dibutyl-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexa-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane-?(4) N (3),N (6),N (10),N (13))bis-(perchlorato-?O)copper(II) from synchrotron data.

ABSTRACT: The structure of the title compound, [Cu(ClO4)2(C16H38N6)] has been determined from synchrotron data, ? = 0.62988?Å. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of the Cu(II) complex as the Cu(II) cation lies on an inversion center. It is coordinated by the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand and the mutually trans O atoms of the two perchlorate ions in a tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedral geometry. The average equatorial Cu-N bond length is significantly shorter than the average axial Cu-O bond length [2.010?(4) and 2.569?(1)?Å, respectively]. Intra-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds between the macrocyclic ligand and uncoordinating O atoms of the perchlorate ligand stabilize the mol-ecular structure. In the crystal structure, an extensive series of inter-molecular N-H?O and C-H?O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network.
