Abstract

An oxamido-bridged binuclear copper(II) complex, Cu2(oxen)(NCS)2(DMF)2 (1) (H2oxen = N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamide, DMF = dimethylformamide), has been synthesized by the reaction of Cu(oxen) · 2H2O with CuCl2 · 2H2O and KSCN in DMF/CH3OH solution, and characterized by elementary analysis, FT-IR spectra and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Structural analysis reveals that complex 1 forms a centrosymmetric binuclear molecule in which an oxamido group in the trans conformation bridges two crystallographically equivalent five-coordinate copper(II) ions with Cu–Cu distance of 5.279(2) Å. The complex molecules are assembled into a novel 2D layer through weak Cu⋯S interactions (d Cu–S = 3.341(4) Å) and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Viewed along the crystallographic b axis, layers display an interesting hydrophobic–hydrophilic–hydrophobic sandwich arrangement, with the hydrophobic layers dominated by dipole interaction of DMF molecules.
