In the title complex, [Ca(C10H6NO4)2(H2O)2]n, the CaII atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and adopts a dodecahedral geometry. The CaII atom is octacoordinated by two O atoms from two water molecules and six O atoms from four acetate ligands. Each acetate acts as a tridentate ligand bridging two CaII atoms, resulting in a chain running along the c axis. O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the chains into a two-dimensional network parallel to [011]. π–π interactions between adjacent isoindoline-1,3-dione rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.4096 (11) Å] further consolidate the structure. One of the carboxylate O atoms is disordered over two sites in a 0.879 (12):0.121 (12) ratio.

The title compound was prepared from the reaction of CaCl2.2H2O (0.01 mol) and sodium (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)acetate (0.02 mol) solution. Sodium (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)acetate was first obtained by adding 0.02 mol of (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)acetic acid to an aqueous solution of 0.02 mol NaHCO3. The mixture was set aside to crystallize at ambient temperature for several days, giving suitable colorless single crystals.
All of the C-bound H atoms were observable from difference Fourier map but were placed at geometrical positions with C—H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å for phenyl and methylene H-atoms, respectively, and were refined using riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The O-bound H-atoms were located from difference Fourier map and refined with bond distance restrains O–H = 0.82 (1) Å and H···H = 1.32 (1) Å with the thermal parameters set at Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The oxygen atom O1 was disordered over two sites, with site occupancy factors 0.879 (12) and 0.121 (12).

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. |

N-Phthaloylglycine is a simple N-phthaloylamino acid which has been widely studied for cleavage with various amines (Khan & Ismail, 2002) and metal complexation with interesting supramolecular structures (Barooah et al., 2006). In an attempt to synthesis calcium(II) complex of N-phthaloylglycine, we have prepared a calcium complex of N-phthaloylglycine as the title compound and studied it crystal structure which is presented in this article.
In the title complex, the calcium ayom is octa-coordinated to two oxygen atoms from two water solvates and to 6 oxygen atoms from four acetate ligands. Each acetate acts as a tridentate ligand bridging two calcium centres resulting in a 1-D polymeric chain running along the c-axis. The calcium atom sits on a 2-fold axis, thus the asymmetric unit contains only half of the complex (Fig. 1).
The oxygen atom O1 is slightly disordered over two sites with occupancy factors 0.879 (12) and 0.121 (12). The acetate ring plane, C1/C2/O1/O2, makes a dihedral angle of 75.62 (8)° (77.0 (4)° for C1/C2/O1B/O2) with the ring plane of the isoindole-1,3-dione, N1/O3/O4/C3—C10.
There are inter-molecular O—H···O H-bonding interactions which link the molecules into a 2-D network parallel to the [0 1 1] plane (Fig. 2). There are also weak π–π interactions between adjacent isoindole-1,3-dione rings along the c axis in the crystal lattice; the distance between the centroids of the rings C4—C9 and (N1/C3/C4/C9/C10)* (*: x, 1 - y, 1/2 + z) being 3.4096 (11) Å. These π–π interactions help stacking the acetate ligand plane along the c-axis in the lattice.
