The structure of {[Co(pht)(bpy)(H₂O)]·3H₂O}_n (pht is phthalate and bpy is 4,4′-bipyridine) and the role of solvent water clusters in structure stability

M. A. Harvey, S. Suarez, F. Doctorovich, F. D. Cukiernik and R. Baggio

The Co^II cation in poly[[aqua(μ-benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato-κ³O¹,O²:O¹)(μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ²N:N′)cobalt(II)] trihydrate], {[Co(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·3H₂O}_n, is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of two 4,4′-bipyridine ligands, three O atoms from phthalate anions and a fourth O atom from a coordinated water molecule. The packing consists of planes of coordination polymers linked by hydrogen bonds mediated by three solvent water molecules; the linkage is achieved by the water molecules forming intricate oligomeric clusters which also involve the O atoms of the phthalate ligands.

Keywords: crystal structure; hydrated cobalt complex; two-dimensional covalent arrays; two-dimensional coordination polymer; stabilizing water clusters; TBG porous coordination polymer.

Special details top

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.

Cg1 is the centroid of the C11/C21/C31/C41/C51/C61 ring and Cg2 that of the N12/C12/C22/C32/C42/C52 ring.

IPD is the interplanar distance, CCD the centre-to-centre distance and DA the dihedral angle between planes; for details, see Janiak (2000).
