In the title compound, [Co(C₁₆H₈O₈)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·2H₂O, the Co atom located on a twofold rotation axis. It is six-coordinated by two O atoms from one 5,5′-dicarboxybiphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylate anion and four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules in a distorted octahedral environment. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Aromatic polycarboxylate ligands have been extensively employed in the preparation of metal-organic coordination complexes due to their ability to form networks and due to their interesting properties (Lehn, 1990; Che et al., 2006). We selected biphenyl-2,5,2',5'-tetracarboxylic acid (H₄BPTC) as a bridging ligand, 1,10-phenanthroline as a neutral ligand, and Co^II as a metal center, in order to generate a new compound, [Co(H₂BPTC)(Phen)₂]^.2H₂O, (I), which is reported here.

In compound (I), each Co^II atom is six-coordinated by two O atoms from one H₂BPTC anion and four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules in a distorted octahedral environment (Fig. 1). The bond lengths are all within the normal ranges (Zang et al., 2006). The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H···O hydrogen bonds between carboxylate groups and water molecules.

Experimental top

A mixture of CoCl₂^.2H₂O (0.1 mmol), biphenyl-2,5,2',5'-tetracarboxylic acid (0.2 mmol), 1,10-phenanthroline (0.2 mmol) and H₂O(15 ml) in a 25 ml stainless steel reactor with a Teflon liner was heated from 298 to 443 K in 2 h and a constant temperature was maintained at 443 K for 72 h, after which the mixture was cooled to 298 K. Then, pink crystals of were obtained.

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.
