In the title polymer, {[Cu(SO4)(C12H9N3O)2(H2O)2]·4H2O}n, both the metal center and the sulfate anion are located on a twofold axis. The CuII ion is coordinated by two pyridyl N atoms from two symmetry-related organic ligands, two O atoms from two symmetry-related water mol­ecules, and two O atoms from two symmetry-related sulfate anions, resulting in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The sulfate anions act as μ2-bridges and connect metal ions, forming a one-dimensional chain along the b axis. The three-dimensional crystal structure is established through inter­molecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the organic ligands, sulfate anions, coordinated and uncoordinated water mol­ecules, and through π–π inter­acting 2-pyridone rings, with centroid–centroid separations of ca 3.96 Å and tilt angles of ca 2.62°.

Comment top

The coordinating modes of sulfate anions can be µ2, µ3, and µ4 bridges that have been used to construct metal-organic frameworks (Carlucci, et al., 2003; Xu, et al., 2003; Niu, et al., 2008).

In the title compound, (I), the central copper ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry-related organic ligands [N1, N1i; symmetry code: (i) -x + 3/2, -y + 3/2, z], two O atoms from two symmetry-related sulfate anions (O2, O2i), and two symmetry-related water O atoms (O4, O4i), forming a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment (Fig. 1). The trans bond angles around metal centers are in the range 174.24 (9)–176.94 (8)°, close to 180 °, and the cis bond angles are in the range 86.58 (6)–93.50 (11) °, close to the right angle (Table 1).

Sulfate anions in the title compound act as µ2-bridging ligands to connect copper ions together, forming a one-dimensional chain along b axis. The separation of two neighbouring copper atoms in one chain is about 6.85 Å. The organic molecules, 1,6-dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxo-(3,4'-bipyridine)-5-carbonitrile, act as terminal ligands, being coordinated to the copper atoms in chains only through pyridyl N atoms, with the other N and O atoms remaining uncoordinated (Fig. 2). The S1 atom of the sulfate anion is located on a special position of space group Pccn, bonding four symmetry-related oxygen atoms [O2, O2ii, O3, O3ii; symmetry code: (ii) -x + 3/2, -y + 1/2, z]

There are hydrogen bonds involving organic ligands, sulfate anions, coordinated water molecules, and solvent water molecules. All O atoms of water molecules can either act as donors or as acceptors. Uncoordinating N atoms of pyridone rings only act as donors and sulfate O atoms as acceptors. Neighbouring chains are connected together by these hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3). In addition to these intermolecular hydrogen bonds, there are weak π-π interactions between parallel pyridone rings from two neighbouring chains, with centroid to centroid distances of about 3.96 Å and dihedral angles of about 2.62°.

Experimental top

A solution of CuSO4.5H2O (0.025 g, 0.1 mmol) in CH3OH (10 ml) was added to a solution of 1,6-dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxo-(3,4'-bipyridine)-5-carbonitrile (0.021 g, 0.1 mmol) in CH3OH (20 ml) under stirring. The mixture was filtered and the resulting solution allowed to evaporate slowly. About 40 days later, blue block single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained (yield: ca. 35%).

Refinement top

H atoms of water molecules were first found in a difference map and refined freely, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(carrier O). The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model [C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms; N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N); C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms]. The final difference map had a highest peak at 0.62 Å from atom H6W and a deepest hole at 0.55 Å from atom Cu1, but were otherwise featureless.
