Abstract top

In the title compound, {(C16H22N4)[Co(C10H2O8)(H2O)4]·2H2O}n, the octahedrally coordinated CoII atom is situated on an inversion center and possesses four aqua ligands. The Co atoms are linked into an anionic coordination polymer chain by bis-monodentate pyromellitate ligands. The chain motifs are connected into a supramolecular layer by hydrogen bonding mediated by uncoordinated water molecules. Charge balance is provided by doubly protonated bis(4-pyridylmethyl)piperazine units, which are anchored to the coordination polymer chain motifs by N-H...O hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

The diverse possible binding modes of the pyromellitate ligand (1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate) has allowed formation of a wide variety of cobalt-containing coordination polymers, especially in the presence of dipyridyl neutral co-ligands (Majumder et al., 2006). This chemistry was further developed by the synthesis of the title compound, which incorporates the long-spanning hydrogen-bonding capable dipyridyl ligand bis(4-pyridylmethyl)piperazine (bpmp).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of a divalent CoII atom on a crystallographic inversion center, one-half of a pyromellitate tetraanion situated across another crystallographic inversion center, one-half of a (H2bpmp)2+ dication (protonated at each of the two piperazinyl N atoms) sited across another crystallographic inversion center, and one water molecule of crystallization. The local coordination and surrounding supramolecular environment is illustrated in Fig. 1.

Adjacent CoII ions are linked into [Co(H2O)4(pyromellitate)]n2n- anionic one-dimensional coordination polymer motifs, via symmetrically related monodentate carboxylate termini of the pyromellitate ligands. These chain motifs are oriented parallel to the [1 1 0] direction; the Co···Co distance along the chain is 11.474 (3) Å. Two of the pyromellitate carboxylate groups do not ligate to CoII ions. Neighboring chain motifs aggregate into supramolecular layers coincident with the ab planes (Fig. 2), established by hydrogen-bonding patterns between the co-crystallized water molecules, aqua ligands, and ligated pyromellitate carboxylate O atoms (Table 1). In turn, the supramolecular layers stack in an AAA pattern along the c axis, with charge-balancing (H2bpmp)2+ dications situated in the interlamellar regions (Fig. 3), thus forming the three-dimensional crystal structure of the title compound. The closest Co···Co contact distance between neighboring layers is 11.257 (3) Å, which defines the c lattice parameter.

Experimental top

All starting materials were obtained commercially, except for bpmp, which was prepared by a published procedure (Pocic et al., 2005). A mixture of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (108 mg, 0.37 mmol), pyromellitic acid (94 mg, 0.37 mmol), bpmp (99 mg, 0.37 mmol) and 10.0 g water (550 mmol) was placed into a 23 ml Teflon-lined Parr Acid Digestion bomb, which was then heated under autogenous pressure at 393 K for 48 h. After cooling to 293 K, orange blocks of the title compound were obtained along with a white powder.

Refinement top

All H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in riding mode, with C—H = 0.95 and 0.99 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms bound to the water molecule O atoms and to the piperazinyl N atoms were found in a difference Fourier map and refined with restraints of O—H = 0.89 (1) and N—H = 0.92 (1) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O,N). The maximum and minimum residual electron density peaks of 1.234 and -0.908 e Å-3 were located 0.98 and 0.68 Å from the Co1 and O1W atoms, respectively.
