The title complex, [CaCu(C5H6O4)2(H2O)2]n, is the first heterobimetallic complex based on a substituted malonate dianion. The CuII cation and two independent 2,2-dimethyl­malonate (or 2,2-dimethyl­propane­dioate) dianions build up a robust dianionic [Cu(C5H6O4)2]2- complex, which acts as a building block to coordinate to four Ca2+ cations. Each CuII centre is in a four-coordinate square plane of dimethyl­malonate O atoms, while each CaII atom is in an eight-coordinate distorted bicapped trigonal-prismatic environment of six O atoms from four different dimethyl­malonate groups and two water mol­ecules. This arrangement creates a two-dimensional layer connectivity of the structure. The dianionic [Cu(C5H6O4)2]2- units are involved in different inter­mole­cular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions with water mol­ecules via the formation of hydrogen-bonded rings of graph sets R12(8) and R(6) within this layer. The crystal was nonmerohedrally twinned by rotation about [011] with a major twin volume fraction of 0.513 (3).

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.

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.
