-2-iodobenzoato-
2O:O')bis[aquacopper(II)]In the centrosymmetric binuclear title complex, [Cu2(C7H4IO2)4(H2O)2], the two CuII ions [Cu
Cu = 2.6009 (5) Å] are bridged by four 2-iodobenzoate (IB) ligands. The four nearest O atoms around each CuII ion form a distorted square-planar arrangement, the distorted square-pyramidal coordination being completed by the O atom of the water molecule at a distance of 2.1525 (16) Å. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the carboxylate group is 25.67 (13)° in one of the independent IB ligands and 6.44 (11)° in the other. The benzene rings of the two independent IB ligands are oriented at a dihedral angle of 86.61 (7)°. In the crystal, O-H
O interactions link the molecules into a two-dimensional network.
-
contacts between the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.810 (2) and 3.838 (2) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
The title compound was prepared by the reaction of CuSO4.5H2O (1.25 g, 5 mmol) in H2O (100 ml) with sodium 2-iodobenzoate (2.70 g, 10 mmol) in H2O (50 ml). The mixture was set aside to crystallize at ambient temperature for one day, giving green single crystals.
Atoms H51 and H52 (for H2O) were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. The C-bound H-atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.95 Å, for aromatic H-atoms, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 × Ueq(C).

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. |

As a part of our ongoing investigation on transition metal complexes of nicotinamide (NA), one form of niacin (Krishnamachari, 1974), and/or the nicotinic acid derivative N,N-diethylnicotinamide (DENA), an important respiratory stimulant (Bigoli et al., 1972), the title compound was synthesized and its crystal structure is reported herein.
The title compound is a binuclear compound, consisting of four iodobenzoate (IB) ligands. The structures of similar complexes of the Cu2+, Zn2+ and Co2+ ions, [Cu(C6H5COO)2(C5H5N)]2 (Usubaliev et al., 1980); [Cu(C6H5CO2)2(Py)]2 (Speier & Fulop, 1989); [Cu2(C6H5COO)4(C10H14N2O)2] (Hökelek et al., 1995) [Cu2(C8H7O2)4(C6H6N2O)2] (Necefoğlu et al., 2010a) [Zn2(C11H14NO2)4(C10H14N2O)2] (Hökelek et al., 2009a); [Zn2(C8H8NO2)4(C10H14N2O)2].2H2O (Hökelek et al., 2009b); [Zn2(C9H10NO2)4(C10H14N2O)2] (Hökelek et al., 2009c); [Zn2(C8H7O2)4(C10H14N2O)2] (Necefoğlu et al., 2010b) and [Co2(C11H14NO2)4(C10H14N2O)2] (Hökelek et al., 2011) have also been determined. In these structures, the benzoate ion acts as a bidentate ligand.
The title dimeric complex, [Cu2(IB)4(H2O)2], has a centre of symmetry and two CuII atoms are surrounded by four IB groups and two water molecules. The IB groups act as bridging ligands. The Cu···Cu' distance is 2.6009 (5) Å. The average Cu-O distance is 2.0012 (16) Å (Table 1), and four O atoms of the bridging IB ligands around each Cu atom form a distorted square plane. The Cu atom lies 0.1869 (3) Å below the least-squares plane. The average O-Cu-O bond angle is 92.48 (7)°. A distorted square-pyramidal arrangement around each Cu atom is completed by the water O atom at 2.1525 (16) Å from the Cu atom (Table 1). The O5-Cu1···Cu1' angle is 176.38 (5)° and the dihedral angle between plane through Cu1, O1, O2, C1, Cu1', O1', O2', C1' and the plane through Cu1, O3, O4, C8, Cu1', O3', O4', C8' is 89.13 (6)°. The dihedral angles between the planar carboxylate groups [(O1/O2/C1) and (O3/O4/C8)] and the adjacent benzene rings A (C2-C7) and B (C9-C14) are 25.67 (13) and 6.44 (11) °, respectively, while that between rings A and B is A/B = 86.61 (7)°.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H···O interactions (Table 2) link the molecules into a two-dimensional network, in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The π–π contacts between the benzene rings, Cg1—Cg1i and Cg2—Cg2ii [symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, -y, 1 - z, (ii) 2 - x, 1 - y, -z, where Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the rings A (C2-C7) and B (C9-C14), respectively] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.810 (2) and 3.838 (2) Å].
