catena-Poly[[[tetraaquacobalt(II)]-
-4,4'-bipyridine-
2N:N'] bis(perchlorate) 4,4'-bipyridine disolvate dihydrate]
In the title compound, {[Co(C10H8N2)(H2O)4](ClO4)2·2C10H8N2·2H2O}n, slightly distorted octahedrally coordinated CoII ions situated on inversion centers are linked into polycationic chains through 4,4'-bipyridine tethering ligands. These are connected into supramolecular layers by hydrogen bonding involving aqua ligands, perchlorate anions and uncoordinated water molecules. A twofold interpenetrated primitive cubic supramolecular network is formed by the interaction of pseudo-layers by hydrogen bonding between aqua ligands and unligated 4,4'-bipyridine molecules.
All chemicals were obtained commercially. Cobalt perchlorate hexahydrate (135 mg, 0.37 mmol), 2-methylglutaric acid (59 mg, 0.37 mmol) and 4,4'-bipyridine
(116 mg, 0.74 mmol) were placed into 10 ml H2O in a 23 ml Teflon-lined Parr
acid digestion bomb. The bomb was heated at 120° C for 48 h and was then
allowed to cool to 25° C. Yellow-orange crystals of the title compound were
obtained along with a reddish amorphous solid.
All H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H =
0.95 Å and refined in riding mode with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C).
All H atoms bound to O atoms were found via Fourier difference map,
restrained with O—H = 0.89 Å o, and refined with
Uiso=1.2Ueq(O).

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. |

The dipodal tethering ligand 4,4'-bipyridine has proven extremely advantageous for the construction of coordination polymer solids (Yaghi et al., 1998). In an attempt to prepare a divalent cobalt coordination polymer incorporating both 2-methylglutarate and 4,4'-bipyridine, yellow block crystals of the title compound were obtained.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains a cobalt atom on a crystallographic inversion center, two aqua ligands, one-half of a 4,4'-bipyridine ligand, one uncoordinated perchlorate anion, one unligated 4,4'-bipyridine molecule and one water molecule of crystallization (Figure 1).
Tethering 4,4'-bipyridine ligands connect the CoII ions into one-dimensional cationic {[Co(H2O)4(C10H8N2)]n2n+ chain motifs that are oriented parallel to the c crystal direction. The Co···Co through-ligand contact distance is 11.433 (2) Å. These chains are connected into pseudolayer patterns by hydrogen-bonding mechanisms involving the aqua ligands, perchlorate anions, and water molecules of crystallization (Figure 2), which lie parallel to the (1 1 0) crystal planes. Unligated 4,4'-bipyridine molecules project axially into and out of the apertures in each pseudolayer.
In turn, the pseudolayers stack in an AB arrangement, and interact with their next nearest neighbors by hydrogen-bonding donation from aqua ligands to the uncoordinated 4,4'-bipyridine molecules to form the three-dimensional structure of the title compound (Figure 3). As a result a twofold interpenetrated primitive cubic supramolecular network can be invoked (Figure 4).
