The hydrothermal reaction of cobalt nitrate with 4,4′-bipyridine and 3-nitrobenzoic acid lead to the formation of the title complex, [Co(C7H4NO4)2(C10H8N2)2]n. In the the CoII atoms are coordinated by two terminal carboxylate anions and four 4,4′-bipyridine ligands within slightly distorted octahedra. The CoII atom and one of the two independent 4,4′-bipyridine ligands are located on a twofold rotation axis, while the second independent 4,4′-bipyridine molecule is located on a centre of inversion. One of the two rings of one 4,4′-bipyridine ligand is disordered over two orientations and was refined using a split model [occupancy ratio 0.68 (2):0.32 (2)]. The CoII atoms are connected by the 4,4′-bipyridine ligands into layers, which are located parallel to the ab plane.

The title compound was prepared by the reaction of 4,4'-bipyridine (0.0781 g, 0.5 mmol), 3-nitrobenzoic acid (0.0836 g, 0.5 mmol), Co(NO3)2.6H2O (0.1454 g, 0.5 mmol), H2O (12.0 ml) and NH4OH (0.1 ml) at a pH value of 9.28. The mixture was heated to 423 K for 2 days in a Teflon-lined autoclave with an internal volume of 23 ml followed by slow cooling at 6 K/h to room temperature. The title compound was obtained as orange crystals with a yield of 0.0284 g (7.7%, based on cobalt). Anal. found/calcd.: C, 58.11/58.06; N, 12.14/11.95; H, 3.46/3.44%.
The hydrogen atoms of benzene rings are placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). The C12 and C13 atoms are disordered and were refined using a split model with occupancies of 0.68 (2) and 0.32 (2).
The synthesis of coordination polymers has been a subject of intense research owing to their interesting structural chemistry and potential applications. A large number of these compounds have been synthesized by the reactions of metal salts and organic dicarboxyl acids or bipyridines (Kitagawa et al. 2004). As a further study in this field, the structure of the title compound is reported.
The
of the title compound consists of one CoII atom, one 3-nitrobenzoate anion and two half 4,4'-bipyridine ligands (Figure 1). The octahedral metal ions are coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two pairs of crystallographically independent 4,4'-bipyridine ligands and two oxygen atoms of two symmetry related 3-nitro benzoate anions. The Co—O bond length is 2.0557 (13) Å and the average Co—N distance amount to 2.1836 (19) Å. The metal centers are linked via the 4,4'-bipyridine ligands into layers and the anions are only terminal bonded to the CoII atoms (Figure 2). Thus, this structure is different from the analogous nickel compound with the same ligands (Biradha et al. 1999).For background information on the solvothermal synthesis of coordination polymers with organic ligands, see: Kitagawa et al.

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. |

The synthesis of coordination polymers has been a subject of intense research owing to their interesting structural chemistry and potential applications. A large number of these compounds have been synthesized by the reactions of metal salts and organic dicarboxyl acids or bipyridines (Kitagawa et al. 2004). As a further study in this field, the structure of the title compound is reported.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one CoII atom, one 3-nitrobenzoate anion and two half 4,4'-bipyridine ligands (Figure 1). The octahedral metal ions are coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two pairs of crystallographically independent 4,4'-bipyridine ligands and two oxygen atoms of two symmetry related 3-nitro benzoate anions. The Co—O bond length is 2.0557 (13) Å and the average Co—N distance amount to 2.1836 (19) Å. The metal centers are linked via the 4,4'-bipyridine ligands into layers and the anions are only terminal bonded to the CoII atoms (Figure 2). Thus, this structure is different from the analogous nickel compound with the same ligands (Biradha et al. 1999).
