Abstract top

In the title compound, [Cd(HCOO)2(C10H8N2)]n, the CdII ion, located on a position with 2.22 site symmetry, is surrounded by two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands and four formate ligands in a distorted octahedral CdN2O4 coordination. The 4,4'-bipyridine ligands bridge the metal ions, forming one-dimensional chains along different directions, which are further connected by formate ligands into a topologically (1010.124.14)(10)3 three-dimensional network.

Comment top

The design and synthesis of coordination polymer complexes, which is an emerging area of research with several potential applications in areas such as catalysis, conductivity, porosity, chirality, luminescence, magnetism, spin-transition and non-linear optics, are of considerable interest from the viewpoint of crystal engineering (Barbour, 2006; Biradha, 2003; Brammer, 2004; Hosseini, 2005; O'Keeffe, 2001; Papaefstathiou, 2003; Venkataraman, 1995). The structures and properties of coordination polymers can be controlled by choosing appropriate bridging ligands and metal ions. Many types of bridging ligand have been reported, of which the most extensively studied bidentate ligands are probably 4,4'-bipyridine (4BPY) (Hagrman, 1999; Moulton, 2001; Sharma, 2001; Zaworotko, 2001). The ligand 4,4'-bipyridine is an ideal connector between the transition metal atoms for the propagation of coordination networks and shown to form a variety of networks ranging from one-dimensional to three-dimensional with several transition metal salts, such as the one-dimensional zigzag networks by using of 2,2'-bpy as the ancillary ligand (Park, 2001), the doubly interpenetrated square grid networks {[Zn(bipy)2(H2O)2][SiF6]}n (Gable, 1990) and a three-dimensional network with large channels which is constructed through square grid networks of 4BPY and Zn(II) linked by SiF6 anions (Subramanian, 1995). In this contribution, we here report a novel chiral three-dimensional crystal structure built from CdII ions and mixed-ligand including 4BPY ligands and formic acid ligands.

Compound 1 consists of CdII ions, 4,4'-bipyridine (4BPY) ligands and formato anions. As illustrated in Figure 1, the CdII ions are all disposed in a N2O4 octahedron coordination environment with the equatorial coordination from four formate ligands (O1, O1#2, O1#5, O1#12) [symmetry codes: #2 = 1 - x, -y, z; #5 = -x, 1 - y, z; #12 = 1 - x, -y, z] and the apical sites occupied by two N atoms from two 4BPY ligands (N1, N1#5) [symmetry code: #5 = -x, 1 - y, z]. The average bond lengths of Cd—O and Cd—N are 2.326 (3) Å and 2.306 (4) Å, respectively. There are two kinds of formate ligands in this sturcture, one kind of them connect metal ions into right-handed helical chains along a axis (Figure 2) and the others connecte the helical chains along two different orientations [011] and [011], which generate a three-dimensional network. In the resulting structure, 4BPY ligands further link the CdII ions along [110] and [110] directions,respectively, to generate a (1010.124.14)(10)3 topological three-dimensional network (Figure 3). Moreover, the 4BPY ligand displays obvious distortion and the dihedral angel between the two pyridine rings is approximately 46.2°.

Experimental top

4,4'-bpy (0.153 g, 1.0 mmol) and CdCO3 (0.177 g, 1.0 mmol) were orderly added in 10 ml H2O. Under continous stirring, 5.5 ml HCOOH (2 M) solution was subsequently added in the resulting mixture yielding clear solution. After filtration, the filtrate was maintained for slow evaporation at 40°C constant temperature for 3 days. Light yellow granule-liked crystals were obtained in a yield of ca 23.7% based on CdCO3.

Refinement top

H atoms bonded to C atoms were palced in geometrically calculated position and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). H atoms attached to O atoms were found in a difference Fourier synthesis and were refined using a riding model, with the O—H distances fixed as initially found and with Uiso(H) values set at 1.2 Ueq(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.
