-chlorido-bis{[2-(8-quinolyloxy)acetato-
3N,O1,O2]copper(II)}The title compound, [Cu2(C11H8NO3)2Cl2], is a bicopper(II) complex. Each CuII ion is five-coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the (8-quinolyloxy)acetate ligand, and by two
2-chloride ligands, thus exhibiting a distorted square-pyramidal CuCl2NO2 coordination environment. Each (8-quinolyloxy)acetate anion acts as a tridentate chelating ligand. In the crystal structure, adjacent quinolyl rings are involved in strong
-
stacking interactions, with interplanar distances of 3.549 (5) and 3.763 (5) Å, thereby forming a two-dimensional planar network perpendicular to the ab plane. Furthermore, a weak interaction [2.750 (4) Å] is observed within these planes between one CuII ion and a carboxylate O atom from a ligand in an adjacent molecule, which also contributes to the stability of the structure.
The ligand quinolin-8-yloxyacetic acid was prepared according to the general procedure reported by Koelsch (1931). An aqueous solution of CuCl2.2 H2O (0.057 g, 0.33 mmol) was added dropwise to the mixture of Y(NO3)3.6 H2O (0.064 g, 0.17 mmol) and quinolin-8-yloxyacetic acid (0.103 g, 0.50 mmol) in aqueous solution at 343 K, and the pH value was adjusted to be about 5 with NaOH. After stirring for 0.5 h, the resulting green solution was filtered. Slow evaporation from the filtrate for several weeks yielded green block-like crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. IR (KBr pellet, cm-1): 3051, 1650, 1628, 1505, 1429, 1379, 1317, 1263, 1115, 837, 772.
All the H atoms were placed in calculated positions and were allowed to ride on their parent atoms; C—H = 0.93 (aromatic C—H) and 0.97 (methylene) Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq of the carrier atom.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Metal–polycarboxylate coordination polymers have attracted considerable attention in past decades, owing to their fascinating architectures and potential applications as new materials in gas absorption, catalysis and luminescence (Dong et al., 2007; Sudik et al., 2005). However, only a limited amount of work has been reported on the use of benzene polycarboxylate ligands that combine characteristics of both flexibility and rigidity (Hong et al., 2006; Wang & Lu, 2004; Wang et al., 2005).
Herein, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I). A perspective view of the binuclear copper complex (I), showing the atomic numbering scheme, is depicted in Fig. 1. The coordination geometry around the CuII ion may be described as a slightly distorted square pyramid, the basal plane being defined by one N atom, two O atoms from (8-quinolyloxy)acetate and one chloride anion; the apical position is occupied by another bridging chloride anion from the adjacent copper(II) unit, this atom being coordinated at a longer distance [Cu1—Cl2 = 2.823 (14) Å and Cu2—Cl1 = 2.776 (12) Å]. Thus, two chlorides form bi-bridges between two CuII ions, which link two CuII units to generate a binuclear complex. Each (8-quinolyloxy)acetate molecule acts as a tridentate chelating ligand. The inequivalence of the carboxylate C—O distances may be correlated with their involvement in bonding with the CuII centres.
In the crystal structure, adjacent quinolinyl rings are involved in strong π-π stacking attractions by partial overlapping of π-electron densities (Tong et al., 1999). The centroid-centroid separation between rings A (atoms N1/C1—C4/C9) and Bi [atoms C15—C20; symmetry code: (i): - x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z] is 3.763 (5) Å, and the other between rings C (atoms C4—C9) and Dj [atoms N2/C12—C15/C20; symmetry code: (j): 1- x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z] is 3.549 (5) Å. Considering these π-π intermolecular attractions, they imply the formation of a two-dimensional planar network perpendicular to the ab plane (Fig. 2). Furthermore, a weak interaction [2.750 (4) Å] is observed between the atom Cu1 and carboxylate oxygen atom O6k [symmetry code: (k): -1+x,y,z] from the ligand in adjacent CuII unit, thus contributing to the two-dimensional network's stability (Fig. 2).
