(Received 27 November 2008; accepted 7 December 2008; online 13 December 2008)

The hydrothermal reaction of Ni₂(OH)₂CO₃ with 2,2′-bipyridine and 2-indolyl-formic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at 423 K for 7 d produced the novel Ni^II complex [Ni(C₉H₆NO₂)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)](C₉H₆NO₂)·2H₂O. The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of a monovalent [Ni(L)(bpy)₂(H₂O)]⁺ cation (bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine and L is 1H-indole-2-carboxylate), an L anion and two solvent water molecules. In the [Ni(L)(bpy)₂(H₂O)]⁺ cations, the Ni atom coordinates to four N atoms from the two bpy ligands and two O atoms, one from a L anion and the other from a water molecule to complete an significantly distorted NiN₄O₂ octahedron. The coordinated and solvate water molecules form an extensive series of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also present and the molecules are interlinked, forming a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

We have prepared the title complex, [Ni(H₂O)(bpy)₂(L)].L.2H₂O [bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, HL = 2-indolyl-formic acid] (I), and report its crystal structure here, Fig. 1. The title compound has a structure similar to those of complexes of halobenzoate ligands, X—C₆H₄COO^-, where X is F,Cl,Br and I, (Zhang, 2004, 2005, 2006a,b,c; Zhang et al., 2005).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of a [Ni(H₂O)(bpy)₂(L)]⁺ cation, a 1H-indole-2-carboxylate anion and two solvent water molecules (Fig.1). In the cation, the Ni(1) atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two O atoms, one from a 1H-indole-2-carboxylate anion and the other from a water molecule to complete a significantly distorted NiN₄O₂ octahedron. The Ni—N bond lengths are in the range 2.066 (2) to 2.097 (2) Å, with Ni—O distances 2.075 (2)Å and 2.080 (2)Å, Table 1.

The coordinated and solvate water molecules show extensive hydrogen bonding to the carboxylate O atoms of 2-indolyl-formic acid anions, Table 2. An N6—HN6···O6 hydrogen bond also forms. In addition, weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds form between the O atoms of solvate water molecules and the H atoms of the 2,2'-bipyridine ligands. A combination of these strong and weak hydrogen bonding interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network, Fig 2.

Experimental top

Ni₂(OH)₂CO₃ (0.12 g 0.57 mmol), 2,2'-bpy (0.04 g 0.26 mmol),2-indolyl- formic acid (0.06 g 0.37 mmol),15 ml CH₃OH/H₂O (1:2, v/v) were mixed and stirred for ca3.5 h., the resulting suspension was heated in a 23 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave at 423 K for 7 days. After the autoclave cooled to room temperature, the solid was filtered off. The resulting pink filtrate was allowed to stand at room temperature and slow evaporation over two weeks gave brown block-like crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.

Special details top

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.
