The Multiphase Nature of the Cu(pz) and Ag(pz) (Hpz = Pyrazole) Systems: Selective Syntheses and Ab-Initio X-ray Powder Diffraction Structural Characterization of Copper(I) and Silver(I) Pyrazolates
Abstract
Copper(I) and silver(I) pyrazolates, depending on the synthetic method used, appear in two distinct crystalline phases each. The crystal and molecular structures of the polymeric alpha-[Cu(pz)](n) and [Ag(pz)](n) and of the trimeric [Ag(pz)](3) complexes (Hpz = pyrazole) have been determined ab-initio using X-ray powder difrraction data from conventional laboratory equipment and refined with the Rietveld technique. Crystals of alpha-[Cu(pz)](n) are orthorhombic, space group Pbca (no. 61), with a = 6.6684(4) A Angstrom, b = 19.829(1) Angstrom, c = 6.0847(4) Angstrom, and Z = 8; [Ag(pz)](n) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (no. 61) with a = 6.5295(4) Angstrom, b = 20.059(2) Angstrom, c 6.4675(4) Angstrom, and Z = 8. A 1:1 mixed metal phase, [(Cu,Ag)(Pz)](n), has also been prepared which shows high crystallinity with lattice parameters intermediate between those of the pure Cu and Ag phases. [Ag(pz)](3) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn (no. 60) with a = 13.147(1) Angstrom, b = 10.570(1) Angstrom, c = 8.792(1) Angstrom, and Z = 4. For sake of comparison, the crystal structure of the polymeric beta-[Cu(pz)](n) phase has also been refined from X-ray powder diffraction data, using prior knowledge from a single crystal X-ray determination. Crystals of beta-[Cu(pz)](n), are orthorhombic, space group Pbcn (no. 60), with a = 9.933(2) Angstrom, b = 13.348(2) Angstrom, c 5.954(1) Angstrom, and Z = 8. All four polymeric complexes consist of infinite chains of linearly coordinated copper or silver atoms, bridged by bidentate pyrazolato anions, running parallel to the crystallographic c directions. As a result, the alpha-[Cu(pz)](n) and beta-[Cu(pz)](n) phases differ mainly in the interchain Cu...Cu contacts, which are as low as 2.972(6) Angstrom in the beta phase, and in the crystal packing of the polymeric chains. Of the two silver phases, [Ag(pz)](n) is isostructural with alpha-[Cu(pz)](n), while [Ag(pz)](3) is a trimeric complex of idealized D-3h symmetry, topologically similar to that already reported for the 3,5-diphenyl derivative.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
