In the complex cation of the title compound, [Mg(C10H8N2)(H2O)4](C7H4BrO2)2, the MgII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and four water O atoms in a distorted MgN2O4 octahedral geometry. The cation is located on a special position on a twofold rotation axis which passes through the MgII atom and the centroid of the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The 2,2′-bipyridine ligands exhibit nearly perfect coplanarity (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0035 Å) . In the crystal, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions [mean interplanar distance of 3.475 (6) Å between adjacent 2,2′-bipyridine ligands] link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network. One Br atom is disordered over two sites with occupancy factors of 0.55 and 0.45.

MgCl2.6H2O (0.11 g, 0.54 mmol) was dissolved in appropriate amount of water, and then 1M Na2CO3 solution was added. MgCO3 was obtained by filtration, which was then washed with distilled water for 5 times. The freshly prepared MgCO3, 4-bromobenzoic acid (0.0508 g, 0.24 mmol), 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) (0.0394 g, 0.22 mmol ), CH3OH/H2O (v/v = 1:2, 15 ml) were mixed and stirred for 2.0 h. Subsequently, the resulting cream suspension was heated in a 23 ml teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave at 433 K for 5800 minutes. After the autoclave was cooled to room temperature according to the procedure at 2600 minutes. the solid was filtered off. The resulting filtrate was allowed to stand at room temperature, and slow evaporation for 4 months afforded colourless block single crystals.
C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), and were refined using the riding-model approximation. The H atoms of the water molecule were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with an O—H distance restraint of 0.82 (1)Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The Br1 atom during anisotropic
procedure became prolate and was splitted on two positions with occupancy factors of 0.55 and 0.45.Magnesium(II) ions with 1.10-phenanthroline (phen) and pyridine (py) ligands can form tetraaqua(L)nMagnesium(II) (L = phen, n = 1; L = py, n = 2) complex cation ( Halut-Desportes, 1981; Hao et al., 2008; Zhang, 2004). In this paper we report synthesis and structure of the title compound. The π···π stacking interactions (Fig. 2).

of title compound consists of [Mg(H2O)4(2,2'-bipy)]2+ complex cations and 4-bromobenzoate anion (Fig. 1). The cation placed in special position on twofold axis, which passes through MgII atom and middle C5—C5i bond of 2,2'-bipy molecule. Symmetry code: (i) -x, y, -z+1/2. In the cation, the MgII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipy ligands, four O atoms from four different water molecules, completing a distorted MgN2O4 octahedral geometry. The Mg—N bond length is 2.199 (4)Å and Mg—O bond lengths are 2.035 (3)Å and 2.042Å. The chelating bipy ligands exhibit nearly perfect coplanarity (r.m.s. deviations = 0.0035Å ).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Magnesium(II) ions with 1.10-phenanthroline (phen) and pyridine (py) ligands can form tetraaqua(L)nMagnesium(II) (L = phen, n = 1; L = py, n = 2) complex cation ( Halut-Desportes, 1981; Hao et al., 2008; Zhang, 2004). In this paper we report synthesis and structure of the title compound. The crystal structure of title compound consists of [Mg(H2O)4(2,2'-bipy)]2+ complex cations and 4-bromobenzoate anion (Fig. 1). The cation placed in special position on twofold axis, which passes through MgII atom and middle C5—C5i bond of 2,2'-bipy molecule. Symmetry code: (i) -x, y, -z+1/2. In the cation, the MgII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipy ligands, four O atoms from four different water molecules, completing a distorted MgN2O4 octahedral geometry. The Mg—N bond length is 2.199 (4)Å and Mg—O bond lengths are 2.035 (3)Å and 2.042Å. The chelating bipy ligands exhibit nearly perfect coplanarity (r.m.s. deviations = 0.0035Å ). The mean interplanar distances of 3.475 (6)Å between adjacent bipy ligands indicate π···π stacking interactions (Fig. 2). The complex cations and 4-bromobenzoate anins are connected via π···π stacking interactions and O—H···O and C—H···O, C—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
