(Received 25 December 2007; accepted 27 December 2007; online 9 January 2008)

In the title compound, [Cu(NCS)2(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)], the Cu atom adopts a square-based pyramidal CuN4O coordination, with the water O atom in the apical position. The pairs of N-bonded nicotinamide ligands and thio­cyanate anions in the basal plane are in a trans configuration. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are connected into sheets by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Due to their inherent coordination and hydrogen bonding donor/acceptor functionalities, nicotinamide ligands have been used in crystal engineering to construct extended frameworks sustained both by hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds (Beatty 2001; Christer et al., 2004). In this paper, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In compound (I), the metal center occupies a general position, and is coordinated with four nitrogen atoms from two trans-nicotinamide ligands and two trans-NCS anions in a square-planar geometry, as shown in Fig 1. The amide moieties are oriented in same directions. The two pyridine rings coordinated to the Cu centre are twisted by 3.63 (2)°. The distance between Cu center and the O atom of the aqua ligand is 2.442 (4) Å, which suggests a weak non-covalent interaction (Table 1). The Cu complex units are connected via N—H···O hydrogen bonds in a head-to-head fashion, resulting in chains in the crystal. The chains are further linked via O—H···O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and amide groups to lead to infinite sheets, as shown in Fig 2.

Experimental top

CuCl2.6H2O (1 mmol), nicotinamide (2 mmol) and NaNCS (1 mmol) were dissolved in water and blue blocks of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature about 5 days in 82% yield.

Refinement top

The H atoms attached to C or N atoms were placed in idealized positions (C—H = 0.93 Å, N–H = 0.86 Å), and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C or N).

The O-bound H atoms were located in difference maps and refined as riding in their as-found relative positions with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

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.
