Abstract
A rare 2D polymeric dicyanamide bridged hexa-coordinated copper(II) complex [Cu(L1′)(μ1,5-dca)2]n (1) (L1′=2-carboxypyrazine) has been synthesized from the reaction of Cu(NO3)2⋅6H2O, 2-pyrazinecarbonitrile (L1) and sodium dicyanamide (Nadca) in methanolic medium. Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the complex has a 2D infinite zigzag chain structure in which copper(II) ions are bridged by single dicyanamide ligand in an end-to-end fashion. Such 2-carboxypyrazine can be obtained on the way of metal-assisted nitrile hydrolysis which well connected with Cu(NO3)2⋅6H2O and dicyanamide (dca) to give rare 2D Cu(II) polymeric complex due to the flexibility in the coordination ability of the copper(II) ions within the polymeric chain. The geometry of the asymmetric unit of the complex was optimized in singlet state by DFT method with multilayer ONIOM model at doublet spin state accordance with repeating asymmetric unit only. The electronic spectrum of the complex is explained using TDDFT calculation.
