In the title two-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Cu₂(C₉H₃O₆)(OH)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·3H₂O}_n, each of the two independent Cu^II atoms is coordinated by a bridging OH group, two O atoms from two benzene-1,3,5-tri­carboxyl­ate (L) ligands and two N atoms from a 2,2- bi­pyridine (bipy) ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Each L ligand coordinates four Cu^II atoms, thus forming a polymeric layer parallel to the bc plane with bipy molecules protruding up and down. The lattice water mol­ecules involved in O—H...· O hydrogen bonding are situated in the inner part of each layer. The crystal packing is consolidated by π–π inter­actions between the aromatic rings of bipy ligands from neigbouring layers [inter­centroid distance = 3.762 (3) Å].

S1. Introduction

The design and synthesis of metal-organic framework has been an area of rapid growth in recent years owing to the potential application and as zeolite-like material for molecular selection (Napolitano et al.,2008). Polycarboxyl­ate ligands present very rich coordination chemistry, because of their ability to bridge transition metal ions generating various polynuclear complexes. Aromatic polycarboxyl­ate are of high inter­est due to their versatility in constructing coordination complexes, and 1,3,5-benzene tri­carb­oxy­lic acid have been proved to be efficacious towards preparation of metal-organic coordination complexes. Moreover, these carboxyl­ate bridges provide a means for efficiently transmitting magnetic information. During the last decade, many reports appeared on the synthesis of coordination compounds where trianions of benzene-1,3,5-tri­carb­oxy­lic acid combined with aromatic N-containing chelating ligands have been used to essemble a wide range of coordination polymers from chains, to networks (Wang et al.,2005). Usually the construction of molecular architecture depends on several factors such as coordination geometry of metal ions, organic ligands, counter ions, solvents and temperature. Due to the flexible nature of Cu^II coordination sphere, assisted by the Jahn-Teller effect which can be realized either by distortion of an o­cta­hedral geometry to give a 4 +1+1 bonding, or else by a change in coordination number as an alternative means of lifting the degeneracy of unequally occupied d-orbitals so copper will be the best choice. Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a new two-dimensional Cu^II complex-coordination polymer containing aromatic polycarb­oxy­lic ligand such as benzene-1,3,5-tri­carb­oxy­lic acid and hetero aromatic ligand such as 2,2-bi­pyridine. Our inter­est in dimeric bifunctional materials is direct toward the effects of weak inter­actions between molecular units, since the stacking of bipy rings is a potential source of inter­molecular exchange couplings.

S2. Experimental

All starting materials were commercial products and were used as supplied from the Aldrich Company.

S2.1. Synthesis and crystallization

The title complex was prepared by refluxing 1,3,5-benzene­tri­carb­oxy­lic acid (0.25 m mol, 0.05g) and 2,2—bi­pyridine ( 0.5 m mol, 0.078 g ) with Cu(NO₃)₂.3H₂O ( 1.0 m mol, 0.241 g ) in 20% ethano­lic solution in the presence of NaOH (2.0 m mol, 0.08 g). Prismatic blue crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained within one week by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.

S2.2. Refinement

C-bound H atoms were geometrically positioned and refined as riding. The O-bound H atoms were located on the Fourier difference map and isotropically refined. For the hydroxo group, the O—H bond distance has been restrained to 0.90 (2) Å.

S3. Results and discussion

In the title complex (I), the dinuclear copper (II) coordination polymer (Fig. 1), features two very similar pyramidal CuN₂O₃ chromophores both adopting a (4+1) slightly distorted square-pyramidal arrangement, which share one vertex occupied by a bridging hydroxide group. The hydroxide group occupies one of the basal positions of both the CuN₂O₃ square pyramids, so that the inter­metallic distance is 3.5251 (6)Å. The oxygen atoms of a syn-anti triatomic carboxyl­ate bridge occupy the apical positions of the two coordination spheres. These Cu—O distances are very close to those reported for [Cu₂(µ₅-btb)(µ-OH)(µ-H₂O)]_n (btb= benzene-1,2,3-tri­carboxyl­ate) (Janiak et al., 2008) and shorter than that reported for {[Cu(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)].H₂O}_n (Rogan et al., 2011). The rest of the basal sites of each Cu^II centre are occupied by a monodentate carboxyl­ate oxygen of another BTC^3- ligand, and completed by an N,N-chelating di­pyridine ligand. The shortest inter­chain separation of the metal centres is 9.7017 (7)Å , and 9.7348 (7)Å between the layers.

As expected for Cu^II in square–pyramidal geometry, the apical Cu—O bond distance is significantly longer than the remaining four distances in the Cu coordination polyhedron. This circumstance is characteristic of Jahn-Teller systems. Additional short Cu1—O5 and Cu2—O7 contacts, 2.935 (2) and 2.866 (2) Å respectively, are almost equal or slightly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii ( 2.92 Å), and also slightly shorter than 3.0229Å ( Rogan et al., 2011). Since the O3—Cu1—O5, and O4—Cu2—O7 angles are 145.28 (8) and 143.84 (8) deg , respectively , the Cu1 and Cu2 enviroments could be described as an elongated o­cta­hedrons. The structure of the title complex with Cu····Cu separation of 3.5251 (6) consists of a doubly bridging pair of coordinate copper atoms, but only of the bridging ligand is carboxyl­ate group in its syn-anti mode, the other being an OH^- ion is conciderably longer compared with those seen in classic Cu₂(O₂CR)₄L₂ structures where the four bidentate bridging carboxyl­ates allow a much closer approach to the metals ( 2.6-2.7Å ). The Cu····Cu separation in complex (1) is short compared with that in [Cu₂(btb)( µ-OH)(µ-H₂O)]_n (Janiak et al., 2008) coordination polymer which contains two crystallographically independent Cu^II atoms , bridged by a hydroxo ligand and a syn-syn coordinated carboxyl­ate group (Cu····Cu = 3.083 Å ) or by a syn-anti-coordinated carboxyl­ate group ( Cu····Cu = 5.447 Å ) . Each bi­pyridine ligand coordinates one metal ion occupying two adjacent basal coordination sites. As a consquence, both of them features convergent nitro­gen atoms and almost coplanar aromatic rings, the N—C—C—N torsion angles being -7.0 (4) and -0.9 (4) deg, for N1—C5—C6—N2 and N3—C15—C16—N4, respectively. The C5—C6 and C15—C16 bond lengths are as expected ( C5—C6 1.476 (5) Å and C15—C16 1.479 (5) Å .

The BTC^3- trianion acts as a tetra­dentate ligand with monodentate (C29/O5/O1) and (C27/O7/O8) for Cu1 and Cu2 respectively, and bridging (C21/O3/O4) carboxyl­ate groups featuring C—O bonds almost perfectly resonant [C21—O3 =1.263 (4)Å and C21—O4 = 1.261 (4)Å]. As a consequence each BTC^3- bridges three [dipy₂Cu₂(µ-OH)] units forming a two dimensional network growing perpendicularly to the a axis (Fig.2 ). This network can be described as a honeycomb structure (Fig. 2 ), formed by irregular hexagons sharing their edges and whose vertices are constituted by alternated tri­carboxyl­ate and bimetallic [dipy₂Cu₂(µ-OH)] units. The two-dimensional networks stack parallel to each other at an inter­planar distance of 8 Å. This inter­planar space is filled by the bi­pyridine moieties from the bimetallic units of two adjacent networks (Fig. 3 ). In particular, the bi­pyridine groups belonging to superposed bimetallic units, symmetry related by an inversion centre inter­act, inter­acts via face-to-face π-stacking: in each couple the two inter­acting pyridine rings are nearly parallel, with an inter­planar distance of 3.57 (3) Å and a ring centroid-ring centroid offset of 2.45 (3) Å. Additional carbon carbon contacts (3.529 (6) Å) connects bi­pyridine moieties symmetry related by screw axis. The inter­actions involving all the bi­pyridine groups above and below the honeycomb structure provide an overall strong connection along the third packing dimension, since the stacking of bi­pyridine rings is a potential source of weak inter­molecular exchange coupling.

Further analysis of the packing structure reveals that this structure contains three water molecules in the lattice which are localized inside the honeycomb hexagons. There are short inter­chain water-carboxyl­ate and water-water contacts that are indicative of a hydrogen bonding (Table 1). The hydrogen atom of the hydroxo bridge participate in classical O—H····O bonding with O5 of the carboxyl­ate group of another molecule (Table 1). The multidimensional framework structures formed by these combination of aromatic ligands are often stabilized via noncovalent inter­molecular forces, viz. hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions . In summary, benzene­polycarb­oxy­lic acids and N-containing chelating aromatic compounds have promoted the construction of multi-dimensional networks. Variation of the carb­oxy­lic acid elements along with the poly-N-chelating aromatic complexes is envisioned to produce materials, which could find potential application in self-assembled nanoscale molecular devices.

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.
