-Biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylato-
2O3:O3'-bis[triaqua(2,2'-bipyridyl-
2N,N')nickel(II)] hexahydrate
The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ni2(C16H6O8)(C10H8N2)2(H2O)6]·6H2O, contains one NiII atom, one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, three coordinated water molecules, one-half of a fully deprotonated biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylate anion and three lattice water molecules. The NiII atom displays a distorted NiN2O4 octahedral coordination formed by one carboxylate O atom, three water O atoms and two N atoms of the chelating ligand. The complete biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylate ligand displays inversion symmetry and links two symmetry-related NiII atoms into a binuclear complex. Neighbouring complex molecules are linked through O-H
O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional structure. Additional O-H
O hydrogen bonds between the lattice water molecules help to consolidate the crystal packing.
A mixture of biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (0.5 mmol),
2,2'-bipyridine (0.5 mmol), NaOH (2 mmol) and Ni(NO3)2 (1 mmol) in 8 ml H2O was placed in a 25 ml Teflon reactor, which was sealed and heated in a
oven at 433 K for 72 h. Then the autoclave was cooled to room temperature
at the rate of 10 K to get light-blue flat crystals of the title compound (in
ca 85% yield based on biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride). The
crystals were isolated by filtration and washed with water.
The aromatic H atoms were generated geometrically and were included in the
refinement in the riding model approximation (d(C—H) = 0.93 Å,
Uiso=1.2Ueq(C)). The H atoms of the water molecules were identified
in difference Fourier syntheses and were refined with distance restraints
of d(O—H) = 0.85 Å.

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 F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted
R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on
F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F,
with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression
of F^2^ > σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating
R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of
reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are
statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-
factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Coordination compounds of biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid have been investigated previously. As expected, the deprotonated ligand coordinates to metal ions in a versatile mode due to its multidentate character (Hao et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2005; 2006; 2007). Upon adding chelating ligands, such as 2,2'-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline, ternary coordination polymers can be formed (Zhu et al., 2008a). In all these complexes, biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylate acts as counter ion and/or multidentate ligand. Here we present the crystal structure of the dinuclear complex [Ni2(C10H8N2)2(C16H6O8)(H2O)6].6H2O, (I).
The unique Ni atom in the structure of complex (I) (Fig. 1) is in a distorted octahedral coordination sphere formed by one carboxylate O, three water O and two N atoms with Ni—O and Ni—N bond lengths in the range 2.063 (4) Å - 2.076 (4) Å with σ=0.87 (Zhu et al., 2008b). The fully deprotonated biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylate ligand displays inversion symmetry and links two symmetry-related NiII atoms. Due to symmetric reason, the two benzene rings of the biphenyl ligand are coplanar. The two pyridine rings in the 2,2'-bipyridine molecule have a torsion angle of 4.7 (8)°. The carboxylate group that coordinate to nickel is almost coplanar with the benzene ring (torsion angle 8.6 (8)°), while the free carboxylate has a torsion angle of 72.2 (7)° with the benzene ring which is almost perpendicular each other. The intramolecular distance between the two nickel(II) ions is 14.788 (11) Å.
As expected, there are considerable hydrogen bonds in the structure. Table 2 lists bond distances and angles. These H-bonds link dinuclear complex together to a three-dimensional structure (Fig 2.). The uncoordinated crystal lattice water molecules interact through additional hydrogen bonds, as shown in Fig. 3, and thus help to consolidate the crystal packing.
