Abstract

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure of an ion-pair complex, [4,4'-H2bpy][Cu(mnt)2] (1), is described. In the crystal structure, the interactions between anions and cations via bifurcated (bpyN)-H···(NC-mnt)2 hydrogen bonds give rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular network having well-defined channels. Complex 1 exhibits two redox waves at +0.44 and -0.36 V (versus SCE) in dimethylformamide corresponding to the Cu(mnt)2]1-/Cu(mnt)2]2- and [4,4'-H2bpy]2+/[4,4'-H2bpy]1+ couples, respectively. The near-IR absorption at 1225 nm in the solid state has been attributed to the charge transfer from the copper dithiolate anion, [Cu(mnt)2]2-, to the bipyridinium cation, [4,4'-H2bpy]2+. Reaction of [Bu4N]2[Cu(mnt)2] with [4,4'-H2bpy]Cl2 affords ion-pair complex [4,4'-H2bpy][Cu(mnt)2] showing three-dimensional supramolecular network in the solid state; the relevant interaction involves bifurcated (bpyN)-H···(NC-mnt) hydrogen bonds and the compound exhibits ion-pair charge transfer transition in the near-IR region.
