Metal-Olefin Compounds. VII. The Crystal and Molecular Structure of Cyclo-tetra-p-chloro- tetrakis[bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2~,5-dienecopper(I)] BY N. C. BAENZIGER, H. L. HAIGHT,

AND

J. R. DOYLE

Received April 27, 1964 A crystal structure determination of the compound formed by the reaction of copper(1) chloride and bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta2,5-diene (norbornadiene) shows that the complex exists as a tetramer, (CTH&!uCl)a, in the solid state with 3 symmetry. The copper and chlorine atoms form an eight-membered tube-shaped ring with one double bond of the olefin coordinated to the copper atom and lying in the plane defined by the copper atom and adjacent chlorine atoms, The copper atom is coordinated to the olefin in an ex0 configuration; one double bond of the olefin is not coordinated. The distorted trigonal planar coordination about copper is similar to that found for potassium dicyanocuprate( I), cyclooctatetraenecopper( I ) chloride, and 2-butynecopper(I ) chloride,

Introduction

Experimental

The compound dichloro(norbornadiene)palladium(11) has been studied crystallographically, and the 1:2 complex of norbornadiene with silver nitrate had been prepared and the structure determination was in progress3 when a method for preparing olefin complexes containing copper(1) chloride was d e ~ e l o p e d . ~ The preparation of norbornadienecopper(1) chloride, hereafter abbreviated as NBD-CuC1, and the subsequent structure determination was made t o add another member t o a series in which the olefin was kept the same, but the metal to which i t was coordinated was varied. The structure determination reveals an interesting coordination arrangement for copper(1) which is very similar to that reported for 2-butynecopper(1) chloride by Carter and Hughes.6 The companion paper6 in this series contains a summary of other earlier work and a report on the structure determination of cyclooctatetraenecopper(1) chloride (COT-CuCl) +

Preparation of Crystals.-Crystals of norbornadienecopper(I) chloride were made by reducing an ethanol solution of copper(I1) chloride and the olefin with sulfur dioxide. The crystals which precipitated were separated by filtration and washed with methanol containing a small amount of norbornadiene. The crystals used for X-ray diffraction measurements were mounted in two different ways. For the early work on the structure determination, the crystals were coated with a polystyrene-alkyd copolymer resin immediately after being glued to the glass fiber support. A thin-walled glass capillary was then mounted over the glass fiber and crystal and cemented t9 the brass pin base. By maintaining the crystal a t -10’ continuously throughout all the exposures (dry air stream cooled by a Dry Ice-acetone bath) crystal decomposition was retarded. For the measurements made with the G.E. single crystal orienter, an uncoated crystal was mounted in a thin-walled capillary, containing a small amount of norbornadiene, in a drybox, and the capillary was sealed off with a glass seal. Crystals mounted in this fashion did not decompose a t room temperature during the approximately 2week period needed to obtain the intensity data. The crystal used to obtain all of the intensity data was a tetragonal rod, 0.17 X 0.17 X 0.80 mm., bounded by 1,1,0 faces. Crystal Data.-The cell dimensions were determined from the settings needed for the single crystal orienter. Norbornadienecopger(1) chloride has a tetragonal unit cell with a = 12.27 f 0.03 A., c = 9.62 i 0.02 A. a t room temperature. Cell dimensions obtained from precession camera films a t -10” are a = 12.21 f 0.05 A., c = 9.58 f 0.04 A. From precession films, (h01) through (h61), and Weissenberg films, (hkO) through ( h k 5 ) , the systematic extinctions, (hhl)present only when 1 = 2n, (hOO) present only when h = 2n, lead to the unique space group P221c. The early work on the structure used visually estimated film

data. The final refinement of the structure used only the data obtained by means of the single crystal orienter with Cu K a radiation and a proportional counter. All accessible reflections with 28 less than 147.5' were measured in one octant of the reciprocal lattice and the equivalent reflections were averaged. Intensities were measured using the 20 scan; Lorentz, polarization, and absorption corrections (assuming an equivalent cylinder) were made.

Structure Determination From the film data the copper and chlorine positions were easily found from a three-dimensional Patterson function. An indication of the position of the olefinic portion of the molecule was obtained from an electron density projection on the 001 plane. ,4 model of the complex was constructed to correspond to this projection, and a least-squares refinement starting with this model gave an R value of 0.19 for all data. The copper and chlorine atoms formed an eightmembered tub-shaped ring. The copper atom was coordinated to one double bond of the norbornadiene molecule, the other double bond lying much further away in an endo configuration. Minor variations in this arrangement, including a more nearly tetrahedral configuration, always led to essentially the same ar-

rangement upon least-squares refinement Since several crystals had been used in obtaining the intensity data, and some crystal decomposition had been noted to occur, it was felt that the poor agreement might be due t o the intensity data rather than an incorrect structure. Thus, a t this stage new intensity data were obtained by use of the proportional counter. A continuation of the refinement with the new intensity data did not lead to any significant reduction in the discrepancy factor. By altering the positions of three of the carbon atoms the configuration of the copper atom with respect to the olefin was changed from endo to exo. The double bond coordinated to the copper atom remained the same, but the other double bond no longer was in the vicinity of the copper atom. This arrangement refined rapidly to R = 0.11. At this point, seven reflections which appeared to be strongly influenced by extinction (1, 0, 1; 2 , 0, 0; I,1,0; 2 , 2, 0 ; 3, 3, 0;4, 4, 0;3, 3, 10) were removed from the refinement. The R value decreased to 0.098. Individual anisotropic temperature factors were then refined and hydrogen atoms were included a t fixed positions and not allowed to refine. The R value decreased to 0.056. Removal of about a half-dozen

The full matrix least-squares program used in the refinement was developed for the IBM 7040 in our laboratory. The program minimizes 2w(Fo2 - FO2)2 and is sufficiently flexible to allow any coordinate or temperature parameter to be held fixed or allowed to vary. Individual anisotropic or isotropic temperature factors may be intermixed. Both real and imaginary dispersion corrections may be included for any atom but only the real corrections were made for the copper and chlorine in this refinement Uncorrected atom scattering factors are obtained by interpolation from the tabulated values in the International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. 3.

Discussion of the Structure The structure consists of a tetrameric unit (C7HsCuC1)d with 7 symmetry. The copper and chlorine atoms form an eight-membered tub-shaped ring.

lies approximately in the plane of the copper atom and its two adjacent chlorine atoms in a direction giving a distorted trigonal configuration about copper. The plane (Cd, Cj, Cs, C,) which contains the coordinated double bond makes an angle of 109.1' (180 - 70.9) with the plane (Cu, C1, Cl', C6,(26); see Fig. 2. For comparison, the comparable angle in COT-CuC1 is 109.2'. The reason why the angle is not closer to

90' in NBD-CuCI may be because the hydrogen atom, H7, attached to the bridgehead carbon atom, C7, is only 2.18 A. away from the copper atom. The covalent radii sum (1.17 0.30 = 1.47 A,)indicates that the hydrogen and copper atoms are less than a normal van der Waals distance apart. Thus, repulsion of the hydrogen atom by the copper atom may cause the larger angle. In the NBD-CuCl case the second

Vol. 3, No. 11, November, 1964 double bond is not near any copper atom. In an additional comparison with the COT-CuCl structure, the distorted trigonal arrangement of ligands about copper is very similar. The C1-Cu-C1 chain angle is 106.0' in COT-CuC1; it is 104.4' in NBD-CuCl. The angles between chlorine, copper, and the C=C bond center are 123.1 and 130.1' in COT-CuC1; in NBD-CuC1 they are 124.7 and 130.9'. The similarity of the latter two angles is surprising. One might have expected the vector from the copper atom to the double bond center to be symmetrically located, with both angles equal to (360 - 104.4)/2 = 127.8'. Packing of the organic portion of the complex might easily cause the asymmetry, but it is unusual to find the asymmetry the same in two different packing arrangements of the complexes. In the COT-CuC1 complex, two double bonds were located in the directions roughly perpendicular to the (Cu, C1, Cl') plane at the apices of a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The ligands were far enough away that their participation in bonding is not certain. In the NBD-CuC1 complex, a chlorine atom a t 3.091 A. lies in one apical direction. Nothing exists in the other apical direction except H,. In another point of similarity between the COT- and NBD-CuC1 complexes, the deviations of the atoms of the coordinated double bond from the (Cu, C1, CI', C=C) plane are similar. In COT-CuC1 they are -0.06 and 0.10 A.; in NBD-CuCl they are -0.13 and 0.14 8. Both deviations are in the direction of a tetrahedral distortion, but this distortion is very small. The norbornadiene molecule itself is compared with the dimensions of the free molecule as determined from electron diffraction data8 and to the dimensions in the NBD-PdCI2 complex9 in Table V. The bond distances and angles which would be equivalent in the free uncomplexed molecule have been averaged for comparison with the electron diffraction data. In most cases, the apparent differences due to complexing are not significant. As can be seen from the tabular comparison, the complexed norbornadiene molecular dimensions are in reasonable agreement with each other and with Schomaker's values. The reliability of Schomaker's values is unknown, so statements of significant agreement or disagreement with those values are not possible. Assuming that free norbornadiene should have double bond distances of 1.34 A. and single bond distances of 1.54 one could not claim that any bond distance in NBD-CuC1, except C&a, is significantly different, using 3.3 X the standard deviation as the criterion. Even as an internal check, the coordinated double bond Cs=Co is not significantly longer than the noncoordinated bond. In the companion structure determination of COTCuC1, the C=C bond length was found to be lengthened significantly. The particular value found, 1.392 A., is probably longer than the true value.

This bond length compares reasonably well with the value 1.366 A. found for the C=C bond in dichloro(norbornadiene)palladium(II),2 in which the change in frequency is about 150 cm.-'.

ments in this laboratory gave bands a t 1460 and 1560 cm.-' for the NBD-CuC1 complex. The description of the structure of the complex of copper(1) chloride with 2-butyne5 appears to be very similar to that of NBD-CuC1. An eight-membered ring with 4 symmetry was found with alternating copper and chlorine atoms. The carbon atoms of the acetylenic group lie in the same plane as the copper atom and the two adjacent chlorine atoms. Sufficient details of this structure are not available to make further comparisons. The structure of KBD-CuC1 may be compared with two other copper(I) complexes which show similarities in configuration as well as a trend toward tetrahedral geometry about the copper atom. I n the structure of potassium dicyanocuprate(I), KCU(CN)Z,~'the copper atom is surrounded by three ligands: two carbon atoms from cyanide ions a t distances of 1.915 and 1.922 A. and one nitrogen from a third cyanide ion a t 2.052 A. The angles between these groups are 134.2, 112.3, and 107.3'. The sum, 353.8', indicates that the ligand groups are not completely coplanar, but deviate in the direction that atoms would be if they occupied three of the four corners of a tetrahedron about the copper. There appear to be no groups in apical positions for a bipyramidal arrangement or a tetrahedral arrangement. I n the structure of azoinethanecopper(1) chloride1* the copper and chlorine atoms form a double alternating chain. The copper atom in one chain has as ligands two chlorine atoms in the chain a t 2.319 and 2.368 A., and the third ligand is a nitrogen atom in the azomethane molecule a t 1.993 A. The angles between these ligands are 109.2 (the chain angle), 107, and (11) D. T. Cromer, J. Phys. Chem., 61, 1388 (1957). (12) J. D. Brown a n d J. D. Dunitz, Acta Cryst., 13, 28 (1960).

132.1'. Again the sum (348.3') indicates further deviation from planarity. I n this structure the fourth ligand is a chlorine atom from the second chain of the double strand a t a distance of 2.547 A. In this case, the configuration about the copper could equally as well be called a distorted tetrahedral configuration as a distorted trigonal planar arrangement. I n the structure of 1,5-cyclooctadienecopper(I) chloride a slightly distorted tetrahedral configuration was reported for the arrangement about the copper.13 I n the structure of K2C~C1314 a more nearly symmetrical tetrahedral coordination about copper(1) exists, and in copper(1) chloride, which has the zinc sulfide (zinc blende) structure type, the coordination is perfectly tetrahedral. Thus, i t appears that coordination from the extremes of perfectly tetrahedral to trigonal planar (though not symmetrical trigonal planar) arrangements occur with examples in the intermediate configurations. A black and white categorization of the hybridization of the orbitals of copper as either sp3 or sp2, etc., is thus not possible. I n all the examples with the exception of copper(1) chloride the ligands about copper are not equivalent, so that symmetry requirements do not make the idealized hybrid orbitals mandatory. I n the olefin, acetylene, and azomethane complexes, filled d orbitals of copper(1) may interact with the vacant antibonding a-orbitals of the carbon or nitrogen atoms. This type of interaction would drain away some electron density from the region where the orbitals from the copper are directed toward the chlorine atoms. These orbitals could then adopt more p-character. The orbitals directed toward the olefin could then have (13) J . H. van den Hende and W. C. Baird, J . Am. Chem. Soc., 66, 1000 (1963). (14) C.

Multidentate Ligand Equilibria. 11. Complex Formation between Iron(I1) and Some Hydrazones of Pyridine-2-aldehyde BY ROWLAND W. GREEN, PETER S. HALLMAN,’

AND

FRANCIS LIONS

Received June 5, 1964 Formation and deprotonation equilibria have been studied for iron( 11) complexes of the three tridentate chelates, 6-methylpyridine-2-aldehyde-2’-pyridylhydrazone,pyridine-2-aldehyde-2’-pyrimidylhydrazone, and pyridine-2-aldehyde-3’-methyl2’-pyrazinylhydrazone. The respective measured stability constants were log PI: 6.3, 6.0, 7.9; log pz: 12.6, 14.0, 15.6; and the acid dissociation constants of the respective cationic bis complexes were pK,: 6.28, 4.56, 4.12; pK2: 7.95, 6.09, 5.61. A method is described for calculating stability constants and deprotonation constants from p H titration data when the buffer regions of the two equilibria overlap.

Introduction

Results

A class of multidentate ligands has been reported2 in which each ligand is capable of forming cationic and neutral complexes with bivalent transition metal ions. Addition of alkali to the cationic complexes deprotonates imino groups not involved in coordination to the metal, forming stable uncharged species. The previous paper of this series3 discussed the equilibria of metal complex formation and deprotonation for the tridentate ligand pyridine-2-aldehyde-2‘-pyridylhydrazone(PAPHY) . Three related ligands, 6-methylpyridine-2aldehyde-2 ‘-pyridylhydrazone (I),pyridine-2-aldehyde2‘-pyrimidylhydrazone (11) , and pyridine-2-aldehyde3’-methyl-2’-pyrazinylhydrazone(111) have now been studied in coordination with iron(I1).

Acid Dissociation Equilibria of the Free Ligands.Solutions of each ligand in perchloric acid (4 moles), alone and in the presence of iron(I1) (0.5 mole), were titrated with sodium hydroxide solution (10-2 M ) . Detailed experimental results are given in the Append i ~ .I n~ discussing the titrations, in view of the potentially acidic character of the N H group, we shall refer to species 1-111 as HL. The equilibrium constants are defined in Table I, and for purposes of computation we further define three quantities, LT, the total ligand concentration in all its forms, b, the number of moles alkali added in the titration, and

easily calculable from the titration data. This last quantity, the average number of protons attached to L-, falls below 1 only when deprotonation of the imino group occurs. In spite of the presence of four nitrogen atoms in ligand I, its g values were found not to exceed 2.9 even a t the beginning of the titration, and there was no spectrophotometric evidence for heavier protonation a t lower pH. I t could therefore be treated as a diacid base and the first two dissociation constants of the conjugate acid, H3L2+, could be calculated from the titration in the usual way, with small activity corrections estimated from the Ciintelberg f o r m ~ l a . They ~ appear in Table I as pK1 and pK2. (4) For Appendix, order Document No. 8059 from the Chief, Photoduplication Service, Library of Congress, Washington 25, D.
