(Received 24 March 2009; accepted 3 April 2009; online 10 April 2009)

In the one-dimensional title coordination polymer, [Co(C2O4)(C10H8N2)]n, the CoII atom is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry by two N atoms from one 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and four O atoms belonging to two chelating oxalate ligands. Two neighboring Co centers are bridged by an oxalate ligand, forming a one-dimensional chain structure.

Comment top

The self-assembly of coordination polymers has attracted considerable attention in the past decade. This arises mainly for their various intriguing topological structures and their potential applications in material chemistry. Much research has been carried out on metal–oxalate compounds due to their interesting magnetic and optical properties (Coronado et al., 2001; Decurtins et al., 1994). Herein, we present the structure of the title complex, [Co(C2O4)(C10H8N2)]n, which is isomorphous to the zinc(II) complex reported by Lin et al. (2006) and to the iron(II) complex reported by Fun et al. (1999).

The title compound is an infinite one-dimensional coordination polymer. The CoII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four O atoms that belong to two oxalate dianions (Table 1) in a distorted octahedral geometry, as shown in Fig. 1. Two neighboring Co centers are bridged by an oxalate ligand, forming a one-dimensional chain structure, as shown in Fig. 2.

Experimental top

The brown plate-like single crystals of the title compound were obtained by a solvothermal reaction of cobalt chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2.6H2O, 0.5 mmol), sodium oxalate [Na2(C2O4), 1 mmol] and 2,2'-bipyridine (C10H8N2, 0.5 mmol) in a solution of CH3OH and H2O (8 ml, volume ratio, 1:1) at 423 K for 24 h.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
