catena-Poly[[(2,2'-bipyridine)nickel(II)]-[mu]-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylato]

L.-J. Hao and T.-L. Yu

Abstract top

The title compound, [Ni(C5HN2O4)(C10H8N2)]n, is isotypic with its CoII and ZnII analogues. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent monomer units with similar geometry. The NiII cations have a distorted octahedral environment formed by two carboxylate O atoms and by four N atoms, two of which belong to the 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two to different imidazole rings. One imidazole-4,5-carboxylate ligand is connected to two NiII cations, which results in the formation of one-dimensional zigzag chains parallel to [010].

Comment top

In connection with our strucure determination of catena-poly[[(2,2'-bipyridine)cobalt(II)]-µ-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylato] (Hao et al., 2007), we report here the isotypic structure of the NiII compound. The ZnII analogue (Li et al., 2007) crystallizes also isotypically.

In the title compound, (I), two crystallographically independent monomer units are present in the asymmetric unit. The NiII cations have a distorted octahedral coordination sphere formed by two carboxylate O atoms and by four N atoms, two of which belong to the 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and the other two to the imidazole ring (Fig. 1). The Ni—O and Ni—N bond lengths are in the range of 2.1543 (14)–2.2562 (15) and 2.0775 (17)–2.2721 (17) Å, respectively, and are similar to the M—O and M—N bond lengths (M = Co, Zn) observed in the corresponding isotypic structures. The two carboxylate groups of the imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligand coordinate in a monodentate fashion with the NiII cations, whereby the connectivity between the cations and the ligands gives rise to one-dimensional zigzag chains along [010] (Fig. 2). The 2,2'-bipyridine ligands are situated in the space between the chains.

Experimental top

All chemicals were purchased from Acros Co. Ltd. The title compound was obtained from the hydrothermal reaction (30 ml autoclave at 452 K for 3 d) of NiCl2.6H2O (0.5 mmol), imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (0.5 mmol), 2,2'-bipyridine (0.5 mmol) and KOH (1 mmol) in 20 ml distilled water. Green crystals were obtained in a yield of approximately 22%. Analysis calculated for C15H9N4NiO4: C 48.96, H 2.47, N 15.23%; Found: C 48.88, H 2.47, N 15.16%.

Refinement top

The H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms with C—H= 0.93 Å and Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
