In the title compound, [Co(C4H3N2O2)2(H2O)2], the CoII ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and shows a distorted octa­hedral coordination configuration, defined by two N,O-bidentate 1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl­ate ligands in the equatorial plane and two water mol­ecules in the axial positions. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional supra­molecular network. ππ stacking inter­actions between the imidazole rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.4914 (15) and 3.6167 (15) Å] further stabilize the crystal structure.

There is currently much interest in adopting heterocyclic carboxylic acids as multidentate ligands to prepare new metal coordination polymers. The main reason is that they have versatile coordination behaviors and can form high-dimensional polymers via hydrogen-bonding interactions in the process of self-assembly. 1H-Imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (H2imc), containing two N atoms of an imidazole group and one carboxylate group, is an excellent candidate for the construction of new coordination polymers. Up to this date, one-, two- and three-dimensional coordination polymers based on the H2imc ligand have been documented (Cai et al., 2012; Haggag, 2005; Gryz et al., 2007; Shuai et al., 2011; Starosta & Leciejewicz, 2006; Yin et al., 2009; Zheng et al., 2011). For example, the mononuclear complexes [Cd(Himc)2(H2O)2] and [Zn(Himc)2(H2O)2] have been reported by Yin et al. (2009) and Shuai et al. (2011), repectively. In this work, we report a Co(II) coordination polymer, [Co(Himc)2(H2O)2], which is isomorphous with the Cd(II) and Zn(II) analogs.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains a half of CoII ion, lying on a twofold rotation axis, one Himc anion and one coordinated water molecule. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the CoII ion is six-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two cis-oriented N,O-bidentate Himc ligands in the equatorial plane, and two water molecules in the axial positions, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Co—N bond length is 2.0786 (16) Å and the Co—O distances are 2.1088 (15) and 2.1793 (14) Å, which are comparable to those of the CdII and ZnII analogs. In the crystal structure, a pairs of intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) involving the coordinated water (O1W) and the carboxylate O atom (O2) link the molecules into a two-dimensional network in the ab plane (Fig. 2). In addition, there exist strong ππ stacking interactions between the imidazole rings in the layer, with a centroid–centroid distatance of 3.4914 (15) Å. These layers are further connected by N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) involving the imidazole N atom (N2) and the carboxylate O atom (O2), generating a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Another type of ππ stacking interactions with a centroid–centroid distatance of 3.6167 (15) Å also can be observed between the neighbouring layers (Fig. 3).

Experimental top

A mixture of CoCl2.6H2O (0.20 mmol), H2imc (0.20 mmol) and 6 ml EtOH/H2O (v/v 1:1) was sealed into a 10 ml sample bottle reactor and heated at 373 K for 48 h under autogenous pressure, and then slowly cooled to room temperature at a rate of 2 K/h. Red block crystals of the title compound were isolated, washed with distilled water, and dried in air (yield: 45%).

Refinement top

C- and N-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 and N—H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N). H atoms of the water molecule were located from a difference Fourier map and refined as riding, with O—H bond lenghts restrained to 0.86 Å.

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