Bis(μ-biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylato)bis[(2,2′-bipyridine)cobalt(II)]

In the title compound, [Co₂(C₁₄H₈O₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], the Co^II atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and two O atoms from two biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylate (2,2′-dpa) ligands in a distorted planar geometry. Longer Co—O contacts [2.437 (3) and 2.552 (3) Å] are formed to the second O atom of each coordinated carboxylate group so that these groups approximate a bidentate coordination mode and the coordination geometry around Co^II approaches distorted octahedral. The 2,2′-dpa ligands bridge two Co^II atoms, forming a cyclic dinuclear complex around a centre of inversion.

Comment top

biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid (H₂dpa) has been demonstrated to be a useful ligand for constructing metal-organic frameworks (Rueff et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2006; Xu et al., 2006). The title compound is a cyclic dinuclear Co^II compound in which biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate (2,2'-dpa) acts as a bridging ligand.

As shown in Figure 1, each Co^II atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two O atoms from two biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate ligands, forming a distorted planar geometry. The Co—O and Co—N bond lengths are in the range 1.948 (2)–1.964 (2) and 1.968 (3)–1.989 (3) Å, respectively. Longer Co—O contacts (2.437 (3) and 2.552 (3) Å) are formed to the second O atom of each coordinated carboxylate group, so that these groups approximate a bidentate coordination mode and the coordination geometry around Co^II approaches distorted octahedral. The biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate ligand acts as a bridge between Co^II atoms to form a cyclic dinuclear complex around a centre of inversion.

Special details top

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.
