In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cu2(C10H8O4)Cl2(C10H8N2)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, the CuII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two N atoms from a chelating 2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a 1,4-phenylenediacetate ligand, one Cl atom and one water molecule. The 1,4-phenylenediacetate ligand, lying on an inversion center, bridges two CuII atoms. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.740 (5) Å] link the complex molecules and uncoordinated water molecules into a three-dimensional network.

1,4-Phenylenediacetic acid (0.097 g, 0.5 mmol) and 2,2-bipyridine (0.078 g, 0.5 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of 15 ml N,N-dimethylformamide and 10 ml water and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added dropwise with stirring to adjust the pH value being 6. Then 5 ml aqueous solution of CuCl2.2H2O (0.097 g, 0.05 mmol) was added. The mixture was kept stirring at 350 K for 4 h and then filtered. The filtrate was kept at room temperature and a few days later X-ray quality blue block-shaped crystals were obtained. Analysis, calculated for C30H32Cl2Cu2N4O8: C 46.52, H 4.16, N 7.23%; found: C 46.49, H 4.17, N 7.21%.
H atoms bonded to O atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined as riding atoms, with O—H = 0.85 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O). Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.97 (CH2) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
2,2'-Bipyridine (2,2'-bpy) is one of the first-line popular drugs used to treat invasive infections. 1,4-Phenylenediacetic acid (H2PDA) has two flexible acetate groups, resulting in trans- or cis-conformation. Both of them are interesting candidates to coordinate to metal ions through nitrogen atoms or oxygen atoms for constructing a diversity of coordination architectures (Hu et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2010, 2011).
In the title complex (Fig. 1), the CuII atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms (N1, N2) from a 2,2-bpy ligand, one O atom (O1) from a centrosymmetric PDA ligand, one O atom (O3) from a water molecule and one chloride ion. The π–π interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.740 (5) Å] result in the formation of a supramolecular structure (Fig. 2).
also contains one uncoordinated water molecule. O—H···O and O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1) andFor related structures, see: Hu et al. (2009); Wu et al. (2010, 2011).

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. |

2,2'-Bipyridine (2,2'-bpy) is one of the first-line popular drugs used to treat invasive infections. 1,4-Phenylenediacetic acid (H2PDA) has two flexible acetate groups, resulting in trans- or cis-conformation. Both of them are interesting candidates to coordinate to metal ions through nitrogen atoms or oxygen atoms for constructing a diversity of coordination architectures (Hu et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2010, 2011).
In the title complex (Fig. 1), the CuII atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms (N1, N2) from a 2,2-bpy ligand, one O atom (O1) from a centrosymmetric PDA ligand, one O atom (O3) from a water molecule and one chloride ion. The asymmetric unit also contains one uncoordinated water molecule. O—H···O and O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and π–π interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.740 (5) Å] result in the formation of a supramolecular structure (Fig. 2).
