A mixture of Co(NO3)2.6H2O (0.110 g, 0.378 mmol), NH4VO3 (0.082 g, 0.701 mmol), 2,2'-bipy (0.045 g, 0.288 mmol) and H2O (10 ml) was stirred for 30 min, after which time the pH was adjusted to 2.0 using 3 M HCl. The mixture was transferred to a Teflon-lined autoclave (25 ml) with 60% filling and kept at 433 K for 5 d. The pink crystals of (I) which formed were filtered off, washed with distilled water and dried in air at room temperature. Elemental analysis, calculated: H 4.17, C 43.56, N 10.26%; experimental: H 4.25, C 43.67, N 10.18%.
All H atoms were located geometrically and then refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). For the water molecules, O1W—H1W = 0.82 Å and O2W—H2W = 0.82 Å. The H atoms of O3W, O4W, O5W and O6W are disordered over three sites in the refinement [with occupancies of..?].

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. |

The design and synthesis of novel vanadium oxides have been the subject of growing interest, due not only to their structural diversity but also to their wide-ranging potential activities, such as efficient catalysis (Yazigi et al., 2010), magnetic properties (Saldias et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2003, 2007) and electrochemical properties (Zhang et al., 2012). In the past two decades, a large number of compounds of the form [M'Lx]n+ (M' is a transition metal and L is a ligand) connected directly to [VyOz]n- anion clusters (M'—O—V) have been reported, such as [Cu2(2,2'-bpy)2V8O21]n (bpy is bipyridine; Yu & Kong, 2010), [{Mn(phen)2}2V4O12].0.5H2O (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline; Lu, Wang, Yuan, Li et al., 2002), [{Co(phen)2}2V4O12].H2O (Kucsera et al., 2002), [{Zn(2,2'-bpy)}2V8O21] (Xiao, Hou et al., 2004), [Ti(2,2'-bpy)V2O7] (Xiao, Wang, Hou et al., 2004), [Co(2,2'-bpy)2V3O8.5] (Xiao, Wang, An et al., 2004), [Co(2,2'-bpy)(VO3)2(H2O)] (Lin, Pei & Liu, 2003), [Mn(2,2'-bpy)2V2O6] (Devi & Zubieta, 2002) and [{Cu(phen)2}4V10O29].6H2O (Zhang et al., 2000). Some [M'Lx]n+ compounds isolated from [VyOz]n- anion clusters have also been reported, examples being [Co(phen)3][V10O26].H2O (Lu et al., 2004), [Fe(2,2'-bpy)3]2[V4O12].10H2O, (II) (Huang et al., 2004), [Ni(2,2'-bpy)3]2[V4O12].11H2O, (III) (Yang et al., 1998), [Zn(2,2'-bpy)3]2[V4O12].11H2O, (IV) (Zhang et al., 1997) and Co(dien)2(VO3)3.H2O (dien is diethylenetriamine; Lin, Li et al., 2003). The Fe-, Ni- and Zn-containing compounds are apparently isostructural (Yang et al., 1998). The [V4O12]4- anions and [M'(2,2'-bpy)3]2+ (M' = Fe, Ni and Zn) cations form layers separated by water molecules. In order to enrich the range of isostructural compounds, we have recently synthesized [Co(bpy)3]2[V4O12].11H2O, (I), with Co as the transition metal, and present its structure here.
The asymmetric unit of (I) (Fig. 1) consists of one [Co(bpy)3]2+ cation, half a [V4O12]4- anion (which is located around a centre of inversion) and five and a half water molecules (the half molecule being located on a twofold axis). In the [Co(bpy)3]2+ cation, the central CoII atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bpy) groups and each CoII centre exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The Co—N bond lengths range from 2.113 (3) to 2.153 (3) Å and the N—Co—N angles are in the range 76.81 (11)–169.65 (11)°. In the [V4O12]4- anion, the V and bridging O atoms form an eight-membered ring, with V—Ob (b denotes bridging) bond lengths in the range 1.788 (2)–1.798 (2) Å; the V—Ot (t denotes terminal) bond lengths are in the range 1.618 (2)–1.636 (3) Å. On the basis of valence-sum calculations (Brown & Altermatt, 1985), atoms V1 and V2 are pentavalent; this value is consistent with the overall charge balance of the compound. Each [V4O12]4- anion consists of four distorted VO4 tetrahedra.
In the structure of (I), the [V4O12]4- anion layers are separated by an interlamellar region occupied by the [Co(bpy)3]2+ cations (Huang et al., 2004) (Fig. 2). The [Co(bpy)3]2+ cations play a significant role in filling the layers assembled by the [V4O12]4- anions and water molecules via hydrogen-bonding interactions and in fulfilling the charge balance of the compound (Fig. 3). The cations are beautifully arranged to form rings, where one bipy ligand from each of six cations is directed towards water molecule O1W located at (1/2, 1/2, 0) (Fig. 4).
The asymmetric unit contains O1W—H1W···O6, O2W—H2D···O5, O2W—H2C···O3, O3W—H3C···O5i, O3W—H3D···O6W, O4W—H4D···O5W, O4W—H4E···O6W, O5W—H5E···O4W, O6W—H6C···O2 and O6W—H6E···O4W (Table 1 and Fig. 5) hydrogen bonds. Two adjacent [V4O12]4- anions are linked through O1W—H1W···O6, O4W—H4C···O3iii, O4W—H4E···O6W, O6W—H6E···O4W, O6W—H6C···O2, O6W—H6D···O3W, O3W—H3C···O5i, O3W—H3D···O6W and O3W—H3E···O3Wii (Table 1 and Fig. 6) hydrogen bonds. A two-dimensional layer of [V4O12]4- anion clusters is formed through O···H—OW and OW···OW interactions (Fig. 6). These strong hydrogen bonds are of great importance in the constitution of the three-dimensional network and in the stabilization of the structure.
In the IR spectrum of (I), the characteristic bands at 1017, 917, 790, 664 and 526 cm-1 are assigned to terminal (V═O) and bridging (V—O—V) stretching. The peaks in the 1632–1166 cm-1 region are due to the 2,2'-bipy groups (Lu, Wang, Yuan, Luan et al., 2002). In addition, the weak bands at 3855 and 3738 cm-1 correspond to O—H stretching of water molecules. The presence of a broad band at 3435 cm-1 was assigned to C—H stretching (Lu, Wang, Yuan, Li et al., 2002) (see Fig. S1 in the Supplementary materials).
The UV spectrum of (I) in solution in distilled water exhibits a strong band around 200 nm ascribed to the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) transition of terminal O atoms to vanadium (Li et al., 2002). A weak band around 300 nm corresponds to a ligand-centred π–π* transition (Fay et al., 2003) (see Fig. S2 in the Supplementary materials).
In conclusion, we have successfully synthesized a three-dimensional CoII compound, and postulate that the use of different transition metal ions in compounds of this type may have a significant effect on the formation of the resulting structure. [Rephrasing OK?]
