Low‐dimensional compounds containing cyano groups. XVI. (Dicyanamido‐κN1)bis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)copper(II) tetrafluoridoborate

TLDR
The effect of ligand rigidity on the shape of coordination polyhedra in five-coordinated copper(II) complexes is demonstrated by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
Abstract
The title compound, [Cu{N(CN)(2)}(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]BF(4), was prepared as part of our study of the shape of coordination polyhedra in five-coordinated copper(II) complexes. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the structure consists of [Cu{N(CN)(2)}(phen)(2)](+) cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) and BF(4)(-) anions. The Cu centre is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal manner by four N atoms of two phen ligands and one N atom of a dicyanamide anion, which is coordinated in the equatorial plane at a distance of 1.996 (2) A. The two axial Cu-N(phen) distances have similar values [average 1.994 (6) A] and are shorter than the two equatorial Cu-N(phen) bonds [average 2.09 (6) A]. This work demonstrates the effect of ligand rigidity on the shape of coordination polyhedra in five-coordinated copper(II) complexes.

Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)(sulfato-O)copper(II) butane-2,3-diol monosolvate

TL;DR: The title compound, [Cu(SO4)(C12H8N2)2]·C4H10O2], is comprised of neutral monomeric complex and butane-2,3-diol solvent molecules and suggests the higher symmetry space group C2/c, but attempts to refine the structure in this space group resulted in an unsatisfactory model and high R and wR values.

The stereochemistry of the copper(II) ion in the solid-state—some recent perspectives linking the Jahn–Teller effect, vibronic coupling, structure correlation analysis, structural pathways and comparative X-ray crystallography

TL;DR: A review of copper(II) stereochemistry involving structural pathways is presented in this paper in an attempt to describe and rationalise these variable stereochemistries, and new interpretations linking the Jahn-Teller effect (JTE), vibronic coupling, structure correlation analysis, structural pathways and comparative X-ray crystallography are reported.

Crystal structures, spectro-structural correlation and structural pathways of eight [Cu(dpyam)2(NCO)][Y] complexes (dpyam = di-2-pyridylamine), Y = Br- , CF3SO3- , BF4- · dpyam, Cl- · 4H2O, NO3- , PF6- , ClO4- and BPh4-

TL;DR: The crystal structures of eight new [Cu(dpyam)2(NCO)][Y] complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography as discussed by the authors, which are consistent with direct observation of the effect of vibronic coupling on the stereochemistries of the complexes, which can range from SBPDTB to TBDSBP.
