Abstract
(μ-Bmtz.bul.-)Cu(PPh3)22(BF4) (1) and (μ-H2bmtz)Cu(PPh3)22(BF4)2 (2) (bmtz = 3,6-bis(2'-pyrimidyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine and H2bmtz = 1,4-dihydro-3,6-bis(2'-pyrimidyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine) were obtained as stable materials that could be crystd. for structure detn. 1·2CH2Cl2: C84H70BCl4Cu2F4N8P4; monoclinic, space group C2/c; a 26.215(7), b 22.122(6), c 18.114(5) \AA, b 133.51(1)°; Z = 4. 2·CH2Cl2: C83H70B2Cl2Cu2F8N8P4; triclinic, space group P1̅; a 10.948(2), b 12.067(2), c 30.287(6) \AA, a 93.82(3), b 94.46(3), g 101.60(3)°; Z = 2. Bmtz itself was also structurally characterized (C10H6N8; monoclinic, space group P21/c; a 3.8234(8), b 10.147(2), c 13.195(3) \AA, b 94.92(3)°; Z = 2). Whereas the radical complex ion contains a planar tetrazine ring in the center, the 1,4-dihydrotetrazine heterocycle in the corresponding complex of H2bmtz is considerably folded. Both systems exhibit slight twists between the tetrazine and the pyrimidine rings. The intra-tetrazine distances are characteristically affected by the electron transfer, as is also evident from a comparison with the new structure of free bmtz; the bonding to Cu(I) changes accordingly. Spectroscopy including X- and W-band EPR of the radical species confirms that the electron addn. is mainly to the tetrazine ring. on SciFinder(R)
