-Methylglutarato-bis{aqua[bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)aminato]copper(II)} trihydrateIn the title compound, [Cu2(C12H8N3O2)2(C6H8O4)(H2O)2]·3H2O, both crystallographically independent Cu atoms are in similar distorted square-pyramidal coordination environments. The dinuclear complex molecules are assembled into one-dimensional supramolecular chains extending in the [100] direction by hydrogen bonds. Interchain hydrogen bonds further link these chains into layers perpendicular to [001].
Addition of 2.0 ml (1.0 M) NaOH to a stirred aqueous solution of CuCl2.2H2O (0.172 g, 1.0 mmol) yielded a blue precipitate. After centrifugation, the blue precipitate was subsequently added to a strirred solution of tptz (0.312 g, 1.0 mmol) and α-methylglutaric acid (0.146 g, 1.0 mmol) in 20 ml CH3OH–H2O (1:1 v/v). The resulting blue solution (pH = 6.13) was kept at room temperature and slow solvent evaporation afforded blue crystals (yield: 45% based on the initial CuCl2.2H2O input).
H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in geometrically calulated positons and refined using a riding moldel, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Water H atoms were found in difference Fourier synthesis and refined with th O—H distances fixed as initially found, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

Chemistry of multi-metal-centered complexes attracted much attention because they often show interesting properties induced by direct and indirect M—M interactions such as magnetism (Ohkoshi & Hashimoto, 1999), conductivity (Yamamoto et al., 1998) and photoactivity (Ohkoshi, et al., 1998). Generally, the utilization of multidentate O– and N-donor ligands is an effective strategy to construct this kind of complex molecules. Hence, bpca (bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)aminato) ligand is often used to prepare polynuclear complexes, (Lescouezec et al., 2005; Kamiyama et al., 2000; Kooijman et al., 2006; Kajiwara et al., 2002). However, investigations of the combination of bpca and dicarboxylate anions to design polynuclear ligands is limited. A novel dinuclear complex [Cu2(C10H8N3O2)2(C6H8O4)(H2O)2].3H2O was conceived as described.
Tptz (2,4,6-Tripyridyl-1,3,5-triazine) will only hydrolyse in the presence of concentrated mineral acids and temperatures above 150°C (Smolin & Rapoport, 1959) or in the presence of Cu2+ ions under mild conditions (Toma et al., 2005). In absence of any acids reaction of tptz and Cu2+ produced [Cu(bpca)(tca)].2H2O (tca: 2-pyridinecarboxylate) (Zheng et al., 2006). In the title compound tptz undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of α-methylglutaric acid.
The title crystal structure contains solvate water molecules and the dinuclear [Cu2(C10H8N3O2)2(C6H8O4) (H2O)2] complex (Fig 1). Both Cu atoms within the complex appear in similar square pyramidal coordination environments with the three N atoms of a bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine (bpca) ligand and one O atoms of the α-methylglutarato ligand situtated at basal corners and one O atoms from the aqua ligand at apical position with normal Cu—N and Cu—O bond lengths (Wei et al., 2002). The Cu—O bond 2.273 (2) Å and 2.272 (2) Å is slightly longer than that of basal ones which vary from 1.939 (2) Å to 2.015 (2) Å. Through intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the uncoordinated carboxylate O atoms and coordinated aqua ligand [O3—O5i = 2.835 (2) Å and O6—O8i = 2.819 (2) Å; symmetry code: (i) x + 1, y, z], respectively, the dinuclear complex molecules [Cu2(C10H8N3O2)2(C6H8O4)(H2O)2] are assembled into infinite chains extending in the [100] directions. The resulting chains are further interlinked into two-dimensional layers, perpendicular to the [001] direction, by interchain hydrogen bonds between the O1 of a bpca ligand and O6 of an aqua ligand (Fig. 2). The two-dimensional layers are stacked parallel and the solvate water molecules are sandwiched between them. Extensive hydrogen bonding exist between the included water molecules and the carbonyl O atoms of α-methylglutarato ligands or between the carboxylate O atoms of the α-methylglutarato ligand (Table 1).
