The X-ray structure of the complex dichlorobis(
N-{4-[(2-pyrimidinyl-
κN-amino)sulfonyl]phenyl}acetamide)copper(II), containing a metabolite
N4-acetylsulfadiazine (or
N-{4-[(2-pyrimidinylamino)sulfonyl]phenyl}acetamide) of the antibacterial sulfadiazine as ligand, is reported. The complex crystallizes in the space group
P2
1/
n with
a = 12.7531(3)Å,
b = 8.0777(2)Å,
c = 14.8548(3)Å,
β = 112.237(1)°, and
Z = 2, requiring it to be centrosymmetric. Two chloride ions and two
N4-acetylsulfadiazine molecules are coordinated to the metal center, each organic moiety being bonded to Cu(II) through a pyrimidinyl nitrogen atom. The metal coordination sphere includes carbonyl oxygen atoms from symmetry-related complex molecules at the apical sites of the square-planar unit, CuN
2Cl
2, giving a tetragonally-distorted octahedral geometry around Cu(II). Although
N4-acetylsulfadiazine, itself, has not demonstrated antibacterial activity, the title complex showed moderate growth inhibition of several bacteria in
in vitro assays.
