The title compound, [Cu(C10H9O5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, is a neutral mononuclear complex. The CuII ion, which lies on an inversion center, displays an octa­hedral coordination geometry defined by two carboxyl­ate O atoms of two different 3-(4-carboxy­phen­oxy)propionate ligands and four water mol­ecules. The crystal structure is stabilized through strong O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving uncoordinated carboxylic acid groups, and coordinated and solvent water mol­ecules, leading to a three-dimensional network. The O...O separations range from 2.623 (3) to 2.909 (3) Å and O—H...O angles range from 163 (4) to 179 (4)°.

Comment top

3-(4-Carboxyphenoxy)propionic acid acid [3-(p-CPOPH2)] is a dicarboxylic acid with both rigid and flexible parts, and is an excellent candidate for the construction of supramolecular architectures (Gao & Ng, 2006). Recently, we have reported a dinuclear CoII complex based on the 3-(4-carboxylatophenoxy)propionate ligand, 3-(p-CPOP), namely [Co2(C10H8O5)2(H2O)8].4H2O (Xiao et al., 2006).

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the title complex has a mononuclear structure, in which the 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionate ligands are coordinated to the Cu atom through the carboxylate O atoms in a monodentate fashion. The Cu atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by two O atoms of [3-(p-CPOPH)]- groups and four water molecules. The Cu—Ocarboxyl bond length is 2.072 (2) Å, and the Cu—O1w and Cu—O2w bond lengths are 2.055 (2) and 2.091 (2) Å. The oxypropionate group is twisted out of the benzene plane and the C4—O3—C3—C2 torsion angle is 175.1 (3)°. A three-dimensional supramolecular network structure is formed through the extended hydrogen-bonding interactions between water molecules and 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionate ligands.

Related literature top

The structure of 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionic acid, 3-(p-CPOPH2), has been reported previously (Gao & Ng, 2006). In our previous work, a CoII complex of 3-(p-CPOP) has been characterized by X-ray crystallography (Xiao et al., 2006).

Experimental top

Copper(II) diacetate monohydrate (2 g, 10 mmol) was added to a hot aqueous solution of 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionic acid (2.10 g, 10 mmol). Sodium hydroxide (0.1 M) was added dropwise until the solution registered a pH of 6. Blue single crystals separated from the filtered solution after several days. C, H analysis: calc. for C20H30O16Cu: C 40.72, H 5.13%. Found: C 40.75, H 5.11%.

Refinement top

All C-bonded H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic CH) or 0.97 Å (methylene CH2) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (carrier C). They were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation. H atoms of water molecules and carboxylic acid group were located in a difference map and refined with O—H and H···H distances restrained to 0.85 (1) and 1.39 (1) Å, respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(carrier O).
