In the title compound, {[Co(C8H4O4)(C10H8N2O2)(H2O)2]·C10H8N2O2}n, the CoII atom, lying on an inversion center, is hexacoordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry defined by two O atoms from two terephthalate (tp) ligands, two O atoms from two 4,4′-bipyridine N,N′-dioxide (bpydo) ligands and two water molecules. The coordinated tp and bpydo ligands and uncoordinated bpydo molecule all have an inversion center. The CoII atoms are connected by the tp and bpydo ligands into a layer parallel to (111). In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the uncoordinated bpydo molecules and the layers into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. Intralayer O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.6643 (13) and 3.8048 (13) Å] are also observed.

A mixture of terephthalic acid (0.1 mmol, 0.017 g), 4,4'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide (0.2 mmol, 0.038 g), cobalt nitrate (0.1 mmol, 0.030 g), H2O (5 ml) and dimethylformamide (15 ml) was stirred at 358 K for 10 min. The mixture was filtrated and pink block crystals of the title compound were isolated after evaporation of the solvent.
H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms of water molecule were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with a restraint of O—H = 0.85 (1) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).
Much progress has been achieved in the design of supramolecular structures containing metal–organic molecules during recent years (Liao et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2008). Multifunctional ligands can link metal ions into one-, two- or three-dimensional structures, and in this context, aromatic carboxylates and 4,4'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide have been used successfully to synthesize such materials.
As shown in Fig. 1, the coordination environment of the CoII atom, lying on an inversion center, can be described as distorted octahedral, defined by four O atoms in the equatorial plane from two terephthalate (tp) ligands and two 4,4'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide (bpydo) ligands, and two water molecules in the axial positions. The bond distances and angles are normal (Su et al., 2009). The CoII atoms are connected by the tp and bpydo ligands, forming a layer structure parallel to (111). O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the uncoordinated bpydo molecules and the layers into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure (Fig. 2). Intralayer O—H···O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6643 (13) and 3.8048 (13) Å] are also observed.

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. |

Much progress has been achieved in the design of supramolecular structures containing metal–organic molecules during recent years (Liao et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2008). Multifunctional ligands can link metal ions into one-, two- or three-dimensional structures, and in this context, aromatic carboxylates and 4,4'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide have been used successfully to synthesize such materials.
As shown in Fig. 1, the coordination environment of the CoII atom, lying on an inversion center, can be described as distorted octahedral, defined by four O atoms in the equatorial plane from two terephthalate (tp) ligands and two 4,4'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide (bpydo) ligands, and two water molecules in the axial positions. The bond distances and angles are normal (Su et al., 2009). The CoII atoms are connected by the tp and bpydo ligands, forming a layer structure parallel to (111). O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the uncoordinated bpydo molecules and the layers into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure (Fig. 2). Intralayer O—H···O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6643 (13) and 3.8048 (13) Å] are also observed.
