Copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate reacts with excess pyridine or pyrazine to yield complexes of compositions Cu(Py)4(CF3SO3)2 and Cu(pyz)4(CF3SO3)2·H 2O. Crystals of Cu(py)4(CF3SO3)2 are orthorhombic, of space group Pbcn, with a = 10.5618 (7) A?, b = 16.287 (1) A?, c = 16.830 (2) A?, Z = 4, and R = Rw = 0.046 for 1130 reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). The trans-Cu(py)4(CF3SO3)2 molecule has cristallographic C2 symmetry. The coordination about Cu is tetragonally distorted pseudooctahedral with mean Cu-N = 2.035 A? and Cu-O = 2.425 (4) A?. An analogous structure with trans-axially coordinated anions and equatorially bound monodentate pyrazine ligands is proposed for Cu(pyz)4(CF3SO3)2·H 2O. Thermolysis of this latter compound at 87°C yields Cu(pyz)(CF3SO3)2, and spectroscopic studies on this material support a sheet structure in which chains of copper atoms, doubly bridged by bidentate sulfonate groups, are cross-linked by bidentate bridging pyrazine ligands. Magnetic susceptibility studies (100-4.2 K) reveal antiferromagnetic behavior with a maximum in the susceptibility at ~7 K. Exchange coupling is considered to take place primarily via the bridging pyrazine groups; analysis of the magnetic data according to a Heisenberg linear-chain model yields, best fit values of J = -3.78 cm-1 and g = 2.08.
