Abstract

The copper(II)–2,2′-bipyridine (bipy)–2-cyanoguanidine (cnge) complexes, [Cu(bipy)(cnge)2(FBF3)2] 1, [Cu(bipy)(cnge)Cl2]·H2O 3, and [Cu(bipy)2(cnge)][BF4]2·H 2O 5, have been synthesised and structurally characterised. Their copper(II) co-ordination geometries vary from cis-distorted tetragonally elongated octahedral (for 1) through square pyramidal (for 3) to trigonal bipyramidal (for 5). That in 1 comprises one bidentate chelating bipy and two monodentate cnge as equatorial ligands plus two BF4- anions as axial ligands, that in 3 comprises one bidentate chelating bipy, one monodentate cnge and one chlorine in equatorial positions with the other chlorine in the axial position, and that in 5 comprises two bidentate bipy ligands which straddle equatorial and axial sites and an equatorially located monodentate cnge ligand. The weak Cu–FBF3- co-ordinate bond in 1 is supported by an intramolecular N–H · · · F hydrogen bond from an adjacent cnge amino moiety. A similar intramolecular N–H · · · Cl interaction occurs in 3. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds exist in all three complexes; they include pairs of N–H · · · N donor–acceptor interactions between centrosymmetrically related cnge ligands (in 3) and double N–H · · · F contacts (in 5) as well as more conventional single N–H · · · X (X = F, Cl, O or N) interactions.
