Poly[diaqua-μ₄-biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxyl­ato-magnesium(II)]

Abstract

The solvothermal reaction of magnesium nitrate with bi­phenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid in N,N-dimethyl­formamide and water leads to the formation of crystals of the title complex, [Mg(C₁₄H₈O₄)(H₂O)₂]_n. In the crystal structure, the Mg cations are coordinated by six O atoms from two water mol­ecules and four symmetry-related biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxyl­ate anions within slightly distorted octa­hedra. The Mg cations are located on a center of inversion, the biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxyl­ate anions around a twofold rotation axis and the water mol­ecule in a general position. The Mg cations are linked by the anions into a three-dimensional framework.

Comment

The synthesis of coordination polymers, or so-called metal-organic frameworks (MOF), has been a subject of intense research owing to their interesting structural chemistry and potential applications in gas storage, separation, catalysis, magnetism, luminescence. A large number of these compounds have been synthesized by solvothermal reactions with organic carboxyl acids (Kitagawa et al., 2004). Here we report on the new metal organic framework bis(aqua)-biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate magnesium (II). In the crystal structure the Mg cations are sorrounded by two O atoms from two symmetry related water molecules and four O atoms of four symmetry related anions (Fig. 1). The coordination polyhedron around the Mg cations can be described as a slightly distorted octahedron. The Mg cations are linked via the anions into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2).

Experimental

The reaction was carried out under solvothermal conditions in a teflon-lined autoclav with an inner volume of 23 ml. A single-phase product consisting of transparent colorless crystals was obtained by heating a mixture of Mg(NO₃)₂˙6H₂O, (0.1281 g, 0.5 mmol), biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (C₁₄H₁₀O₄, 0.0290 g, 0.125 mmol), N,N-dimethylformamide (10.0 ml), and H₂O (2.0 ml)at 423 K for 2 d followed by slow cooling at 6 K/h to room temperature.

Refinement

The C—H H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined isotropic using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C). The H atoms at the water molecule were found in difference map and were refined with varying coordinates isotropic.

Special details

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.
