Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(CH₃COO)₂(C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₂)]·H₂O, the Cu^II ion is six-coordinated in a typically Jahn–Teller distorted octahedral environment defined by two O and two N atoms from the ligand and two O atoms from acetate anions. A linear chain structure propagating in [010] is built up by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the uncoordinated water molecules.

Comment

N-Heterocyclic ligands coordinated with transition metal ions can form a variety of topology structures, including macrocycles, polyhedra and linear and helical polymers. Our group has report three kinds of flexible pyridyl-based ligands in previous reports (Liu et al. 20010a; Liu et al. 20010 b). As a part of our continuing work for bipyridyl aromatic ligands, we report the crystal structure of the title compound here.

1,2-Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)benzene molecule act as a chelating ligand to coordinate with Cu^II ion forming a discrete strucutre. Two acetate counter ions also coordinate to the center Cu^II ion, resulting the Cu^II ion is six-coordinated in quadrangular bipyramid geometry (Figure 1, Table 1).

A one-dimensional chain structure is built up by intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the uncoordinated water molecules (Figure 2, Table 2).

Experimental

The 1,2-Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)benzene was synthesized by the reaction of ο-dihydroxybenzene and 2-chloromethylpyridine hydrochloride under nitrogen atmosphere and alkaline condition (Liu et al., 2010a). Title ligand (0.58 g, 2 mmol) and Cu(CH₃COO)₂.H₂O (0.40 g, 2 mmol) were dissolved in 15 mL e thanol, and then the mixture keep stirring for 30 minute. The resulting solution was filtered, and the filtrate was allowed to stand in a desiccator at room temperature for several days. Bule needle crystals were obtained with yield 34 %.
