A two-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer based on 2,4′-oxybis(benzoate) and 4,4′-bipyridine
The reaction of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O with 2,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid) and 4,4′-bipyridine under hydrothermal conditions produced a new mixed-ligand two-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer, namely poly[[(μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)[μ-2,4′-oxybis(benzoato)-κ4 O 2,O 2′:O 4,O 4′]copper(II)] monohydrate], {[Cu(C14H8O5)(C10H8N2)]·H2O} n , which was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray diffraction crystal structure analysis reveals that the CuII ions are connected to form a two-dimensional wave-like network through 4,4′-bipyridine and 2,4′-oxybis(benzoate) ligands. The two-dimensional layers are expanded into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure through intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that the complex shows weak antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent CuII ions.
