The title coordination polymer, [Cu(C2H4NO2)2]n, is two-dimensional and consists of a distorted octa­hedral copper coordination polyhedron with two bidentate glycine ligands chelating the metal through the O and N atoms in a trans-square-planar configuration. The two axial coordination sites are occupied by carbonyl O atoms of neighbouring glycine mol­ecules. The Cu—O distances for the axial O atoms [2.648 (2) and 2.837 (2) Å] are considerably longer than both the Cu—O [1.9475 (17) and 1.9483 (18) Å] and Cu—N [1.988 (2) and 1.948 (2) Å] distances in the equatorial plane, which indicates a strong Jahn–Teller effect. In the crystal, the two-dimensional networks are arranged parallel to (001) and are linked via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional arrangement.

Comment top

Different metal glycine complexes and polymeric structures have been known since the 1960's. The first work on a cadmium glycinato complexe was done by (Low et al., 1959), and further studies were reported by (Barrie et al., 1993). Mixed metal glycinato complexes with copper(II) were investigated by (Papavinasam, 1991; Davies et al., 2003; Low et al., 1959).

The complexation of simple copper salts to amino acids is a well investigated reaction and various complexes and clusters have been reported (Low et al., 1959; Davies et al., 2003; Aromi et al., 2008; Bi et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2005). A three-dimensional copper-glycinate coordination polymer has been reported on by (Chen et al., 2009).

While redissolving the copper cluster [NaCu6(gly)3(ClO4)3(H2O)]n (ClO4)2n (Aromi et al., 2008) in DMSO, blue crystals of the title compound were obtained and were characterized by X-ray diffraction.

The title compound is a two-dimensional coordination polymer (Fig. 1). It consists of a distorted octahedral copper coordination polyhedron with two bidentate glycine ligands chelating the metal through the oxygen and nitrogen atoms (O1, O3, N1, N2) in a trans square planar configuration. The two axial coordination sites are occupied by carbonyl oxygen atoms of the neighbouring glycine molecules (O2 and O4). The Cu—O distances are 2.648 (2) Å (Cu1—O2i) and 2.837 (2) Å (Cu1—O4ii) for the axial oxygen atoms [symmetry codes: (i) -x-1/2, y+1/2, -z+1/2; (ii) -x+1/2, y-1/2, -z+1/2]. In the equatorial plane the Cu-O distances are 1.9474 (15) and 1.9483 (16) Å for Cu1—O1 and Cu1—O3, respectively, while the Cu—N distances are 1.9883 (19) and 1.948 (2) Å for Cu1-N1 and Cu1—N2, respectively. These bond length differences indicate a strong Jahn-Teller effect.

In the crystal the two dimensional networks are linked via N-H···O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional arrangement (Table 1 and Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by dissolving 20 mg of [NaCu6(gly)3(ClO4)3(H2O)]n (ClO4)2n (Aromi et al., 2008) in 5 ml DMSO. Crystals could be grown out of the blue solution by slow diffusion of THF.

Refinement top

The NH-atoms were located in difference electron-density maps and were freely refined. The C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C-H = 0.97 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

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.
