A novel cadmium(II) coordination polymer with biphenyl‐3,3′,4,4′‐tetra­carboxylic acid and 4,4′‐bipyridine

A novel cadmium(II) coordination polymer, poly[[[bis­(4,4′‐bipyridine)cadmium(II)]‐μ₃‐4,4′‐dicarboxy­biphenyl‐3,3′‐di­carboxyl­ato] 0.35‐hydrate], {[Cd(C₁₆H₈O₈)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·0.35H₂O}_n, was obtained by reaction of Cd(CH₃COO)₂·3H₂O, 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bpy) and biphenyl‐3,3′,4,4′‐tetra­car­boxylic acid (H₄L) under hydro­thermal conditions. Each Cd^II atom lies at the centre of a distorted octa­hedron, coordinated by four O atoms from three H₂L²⁻ ligands and N atoms from two monodentate 4,4′‐bpy ligands. Each H₂L²⁻ ligand coordinates to three Cd^II atoms through two carboxyl­ate groups, one acting as a bridging bidentate ligand and the other in a chelating bidentate fashion. Two Cd atoms, two H₂L²⁻ anions and four 4,4′‐bpy ligands form a ring dimer node, which links into an extended broad zonal one‐dimensional chain along the c axis.     

μ‐4,4′‐Bipyridine‐κ2N:N′‐bis[triaqua(4,4′‐bipyridine‐κN)cadmium(II)] bis(3‐aminobenzoate) bis(perchlorate) dihydrate: a novel supramolecular system constructed by π–π and hydrogen‐bonding interactions

The title dicadmium compound, [Cd₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₅(H₂O)₆](C₇H₆NO₂)₂(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O, is located around an inversion centre. Each Cd^II centre is coordinated by three N atoms from three different 4,4′‐bipyridine ligands and three O atoms from three coordinating water molecules in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. In the dicadmium cation unit, one 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bipy) molecule acts as a bidentate bridging ligand between two Cd metal ions, while the other four 4,4′‐bipy molecules act only as monodentate terminal ligands, resulting in a rare `H‐type' [Cd₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₅(H₂O)₆] host unit. These host units are connected to each other viaπ–π stacking interactions, giving rise to a three‐dimensional supramolecular grid network with large cavities. The 3‐aminobenzoate anions, perchlorate anions and water molecules are encapsulated in the cavities by numerous hydrogen‐bonding interactions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a coordination compound based on both 4,4′‐bipyridine ligands together with discrete 3‐aminobenzoate anions.     

Poly[[[aqua­(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)manganese(II)]‐μ3‐acetyl­enedicarboxylato‐κ3O:O′:O′′] monohydrate]

In the title complex, {[Mn(C₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, each Mn^II ion has a distorted octa­hedral coordination formed by two N atoms of a 2,2′‐bipyridine ligand, three carboxyl O atoms of three different acetyl­ene­dicarboxyl­ate ligands and one coordinated water mol­ecule. The acetyl­ene­dicarboxyl­ate ligands act in a tridentate mode connecting adjacent Mn^II ions and constructing a two‐dimensional structure which can be regarded as an unusual plywood‐like stacked network.     

Poly­[[di­aqua­cobalt(II)]‐μ‐4,4′‐bi­pyridine‐κ2N:N′‐μ‐p‐phenyl­enebis­(oxy­acetato)‐κ2O:O′]

The title compound, [Co^II(C₁₀H₈O₆)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, was obtained by the hydro­thermal reaction of CoSO₄ with benzene‐1,4‐dioxy­di­acetate [systematic name: p‐phenyl­ene­bis­(oxy­acetate)] and 4,4′‐bi­pyridine (4,4′‐bpy). The Co atom lies at an inversion center and the benzene‐1,4‐dioxydiacetate and 4,4′‐bipyridine moieties lie about other inversion centers. The benzene‐1,4‐dioxydiacetate ligands bridge the octahedral Co^II coordination centers, forming a one‐dimensional zigzag chain. The chains are further bridged by 4,4′‐bpy ligands, forming a novel two‐dimensional supramolecular architecture. Hydro­gen‐bonding interactions between the coordinated water mol­ecules and the carboxyl­ate O atoms lead to the formation of a three‐dimensional network structure.     

catena‐Poly[[μ‐hexa­nedioato‐1κO1:2κO6‐bis­[aqua­(5‐carboxy­penta­noato‐κO)copper(II)]]‐di‐μ‐4,4′‐bipyridine‐1κN:1′κN′;2κN:2′κN′]

In the title compound, [Cu₂(C₆H₈O₄)(C₆H₉O₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, the square‐pyramidally coordinated Cu atoms are bridged by both 4,4‐bipyridine and adipate ligands into ladder‐­like chains, with exo‐orientated 5‐carboxypentan­oate ligands pendant from both side rails. Half of the adipate ligand is related to the other half by inversion symmetry. Inter­chain O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from the aqua ligands to the carbonyl O atoms of the 5‐carboxy­penta­noate ligands are responsible for the formation of two‐dimensional grid‐like (4,4)‐networks, which complete a twofold inter­penetration.     

Poly[diaquabis(μ‐4,4′‐bipyridine‐κ2N:N′)bis(ethane‐1,2‐diol)di‐μ‐sulfato‐dicopper(II)]

The title compound, [Cu₂(SO₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(C₂H₆O₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, contains two crystallographically unique Cu^II centres, each lying on a twofold axis and having a slightly distorted octahedral environment. One Cu^II centre is coordinated by two bridging 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bipy) ligands, two sulfate anions and two aqua ligands. The second is surrounded by two 4,4′‐bipy N atoms and four O atoms, two from bridging sulfate anions and two from ethane‐1,2‐diol ligands. The sulfate anion bridges adjacent Cu^II centres, leading to the formation of linear ...Cu1–Cu2–Cu1–Cu2... chains. Adjacent chains are further bridged by 4,4′‐bipy ligands, which are also located on the twofold axis, resulting in a two‐dimensional layered polymer. In the crystal structure, extensive O—H...O hydrogen‐bonding interactions between water molecules, ethane‐1,2‐diol molecules and sulfate anions lead to the formation of a three‐dimensional supramolecular network structure.     

Poly[diaqua­(μ‐4,4′‐bipyridine)tetra­kis­(μ‐ferro­cenecarboxyl­ato)bis­(ferro­cenecarboxyl­ato)­tri­man­ganese(II)]

The title compound, [Mn₃Fe₆(C₅H₅)₆(C₆H₄O₂)₆(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, consists of two crystallographically unique Mn^II centers. One is situated on an inversion center and is octa­hedrally coordinated by two N atoms from two bridging 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bipy) ligands and four O atoms, two from different bridging ferrocenecarboxyl­ate (μ₂‐FcCOO⁻; Fc is ferrocene) units and two from aqua ligands. The two halves of each 4,4′‐bipy ligand are related by a center of symmetry. The second Mn^II center is in a strongly distorted tetra­gonal–pyramidal geometry, coordinated by five O atoms, three from three μ₂‐FcCOO⁻ units and two from a fourth, chelating, η²‐FcCOO⁻ unit. The FcCOO⁻ units function as bridging ligands to adjacent Mn^II centers, leading to the formation of linear ⋯Mn1Mn2Mn2Mn1⋯ chains. Adjacent chains are further bridged by 4,4′‐bipy ligands, resulting in a two‐dimensional layered polymer.     

catena‐Poly[[diaquabis(2‐chloronicotinato‐κ2O,O′)cadmium(II)]‐μ‐2‐chloronicotinato‐κ3O,O′:N]

In the title neutral coordination polymer, [Cd(C₆H₃ClNO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, each Cd^II ion is coordinated by one N and four O atoms from three 2‐chloro­nicotinate ligands and by two aqua ligands, defining a distorted monocapped octahedral coordination geometry. Adjacent Cd atoms are linked by the pyridyl N atom and the bidentate carboxyl­ate functional group of a 2‐­chloro­nicotinate ligand, forming a one‐dimensional infinite chain along the b axis. The Cd⋯Cd distance is 8.112 (3) Å. These chains are linked by O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional network structure.     

catena‐Poly[[aqua­(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)cadmium(II)]‐μ‐4‐carboxyl­atophenoxy­acetato‐κ3O:O4,O4′]

In the title compound, [Cd(C₉H₆O₅)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]_n, the Cd^II atom is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral fashion by two carboxyl­ate groups (one in a monodentate and one in a bidentate fashion) from two 4‐carboxyl­ato­phenoxy­acetate anions, two N atoms from a 2,2′‐bipyridine ligand and one aqua ligand. The structure is a helix with a long pitch of 16.441 (5) Å. A three‐dimensional supra­molecular network is further constructed through π–π stacking and hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions between the helices.     

catena‐Poly[[[triaqua­sulfato­cobalt(II)]‐μ‐4,4′‐bipyridine] ethane‐1,2‐diol solvate]

In the title compound, {[Co(SO₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]·C₂H₆O₂}_n, each Co^II center is octa­hedrally coordinated by two N atoms from two bridging 4,4′‐bipyridine (bipy) ligands and four O atoms, one from a monodentate sulfate ligand and three from aqua ligands. The bipy ligands occupy special positions of site symmetry and bridge adjacent cobalt(II) centers to form one‐dimensional linear coordination chains. Adjacent chains are arranged in a cross‐like fashion around the mid‐point of the bipy ligands, resulting in a three‐dimensional supra­molecular array.     

Two isomorphous transition metal complexes displaying a coordinated tetrathionate unit: bis(4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(tetrathionato‐κ2S,S′)cadmium(II) dimethylformamide disolvate and the zinc(II) analogue

The isomorphous title compounds, [Tr(S₄O₆)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂]·2C₃H₇NO (Tr = Cd^II and Zn^II), consist of metal centres to which one tetrathionate and two 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine chelating ligands bind. The structures are completed by two symmetry‐related dimethylformamide solvent molecules. Each metal‐centred complex is bisected by a twofold axis running through the metal centre and halving the chelating tetrathionate dianion through the central S—S bond. The ancillary symmetry‐related 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine ligands act as chelates. This results in a distorted six‐coordinate geometry, with similar Tr—O/N distances but central angles differing substantially from 90 and 180°. Both ligands are basically featureless from a geometric point of view, with torsion angles in both coordinated tetrathionate groups suggesting a trend linking metal size (covalent radius) and ligand `openness'. Packing is directed by (C—H)_aromatic...O bridges and π–π offset stacked interactions defining chains along [001], further linked by weaker (C—H)_methyl...O bridges, some of them mediated by the dimethylformamide solvent molecules.     

A three‐dimensional cadmium(II) coordination polymer: poly[[[μ‐4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine‐κ2N:N](μ‐3,3′‐thiodipropionato‐κ3O,O′:O)cadmium(II)] monohydrate]

In the title coordination polymer, {[Cd(C₆H₈O₄S)(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)]·H₂O}_n, the Cd^II atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination, formed by three carboxylate O atoms and one S atom from three different 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands, and two N atoms from two different 4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine ligands. The Cd^II centres are bridged through carboxylate O atoms of 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands and through N atoms of 4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine ligands to form two different one‐dimensional chains, which intersect to form a two‐dimensional layer. These two‐dimensional layers are linked by S atoms of 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands from adjacent layers to form a three‐dimensional network.     

A one‐dimensional coordination polymer based on Cd2O2 clusters: poly[aqua(μ3‐4,4′‐sulfonyldibenzoato)(3,4,7,8‐tetramethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)cadmium(II)]

In the title mixed‐ligand metal–organic polymeric complex [Cd(C₁₄H₈O₆S)(C₁₆H₁₆N₂)(H₂O)]_n, the asymmetric unit contains a crystallographically unique Cd^II atom, one doubly deprotonated 4,4′‐sulfonyldibenzoic acid ligand (H₂SDBA), one 3,4,7,8‐tetramethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (TMPHEN) molecule and one water molecule. Each Cd^II centre is coordinated by two N atoms from the chelating TMPHEN ligand, three O atoms from monodentate carboxylate groups of three different SDBA²⁻ ligands and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule, giving a distorted CdN₂O₄ octahedral geometry. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the compound is a one‐dimensional double‐chain polymer containing 28‐membered rings based on Cd₂O₂ clusters, with a Cd...Cd separation of 3.6889 (4) Å. These chains are linked by O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. The framework is reinforced by π–π and C—O...π interactions.     

Bis(3‐amino­pyridine‐κN)(4,4′‐di­methyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(per­chlorato‐κO)copper(II) per­chlorate

The title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)(C₅H₆N₂)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)]ClO₄, was prepared by in situ partial ligand substitution between 3‐amino­pyridine and 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine at room temperature. The central copper(II) ion is five‐coordinated by one bidentate 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine mol­ecule, two monodentate pyridine‐coordinated 3‐amino­pyridine mol­ecules and one apical O atom from the perchlorate counter‐ion. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions form a hydrogen‐bond‐sustained network.     

catena‐Poly[[aqua­(3,4,7,8‐tetra­methyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)cadmium(II)]‐μ3‐thio­sulfato‐κ3S:S:O]

The title compound, [Cd(S₂O₃)(C₁₆H₁₆N₂)(H₂O)]_n, presents a polymeric one‐dimensional structure running along the P2₁/c glide direction, with elementary units defined by six‐coordinate Cd^II atoms bonded to three symmetry‐related thio­sulfate groups, a bidentate tetra­methyl­phenanthroline ligand and one aqua ligand. The bridging thio­sulfates bind metal centers through two different sequences, viz. Cd—S—Cd′ and Cd′—S′—S′—O′—Cd, defining a closed six‐membered ring. Individual chains are held together viaπ–π inter­actions to generate two‐dimensional networks parallel to the (100) plane. These, in turn, are connected by much weaker van der Waals inter­actions.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₇H₈ClN₅)(H₂O)]_n, contains one Cd^II atom, two half benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylate (1,4‐bdc) anions, one 11‐chloropyrido[2′,3′:2,3]pyrimidino[5,6‐f][1,10]phenanthroline (L) ligand and one coordination water molecule. The 1,4‐bdc ligands are on inversion centers at the centroids of the arene rings. The Cd^II atom is six‐coordinated by two N atoms from one L ligand, three carboxylate O atoms from two different 1,4‐bdc ligands and one water O atom in a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. Each Cd^II center is bridged by the 1,4‐bdc dianions to give a one‐dimensional chain. π–π stacking interactions between L ligands of neighboring chains extend adjacent chains into a two‐dimensional supramolecular (6,3) network. Neighboring (6,3) networks are interpenetrated in an unusual inclined mode, resulting in a three‐dimensional framework. Additionally, the water–carboxylate O—H...O hydrogen bonds observed in the network consolidate the interpenetrating nets.     

Poly[[aqua(4,4′‐diazenediyldibenzoato‐κ4O,O′:O′′,O′′′)cadmium(II)]: a twofold interpenetrated three‐dimensional coordination polymer of PtS topology

In the title coordination compound, [Cd(C₁₄H₈N₂O₄)(H₂O)]_n, the Cd^II cation and the coordinated water molecule lie on a twofold axis, whereas the ligand lies on an inversion center. The Cd^II center is five‐coordinated in a distorted square‐pyramidal geometry by four carboxylate O atoms from four different 4,4′‐diazenediyldibenzoate (ddb) anions and one water O atom. The three‐dimensional frameworks thus formed by the bridging ddb anions interpenetrate to generate a three‐dimensional PtS‐type network. Additionally, the coordination water molecule and the carboxylate O atom form a hydrogen‐bonding interaction, stabilizing the three‐dimensional framework structure.

The Cd^II center is in a distorted octahedral geometry, being coordinated by two O atoms from two coordinated water mol­ecules [Cd—O = 2.322 (7) and 2.364 (7) Å], and by two N atoms [Cd—N = 2.222 (6) and 2.232 (6) Å] and two carboxyl O atoms [Cd—O = 2.383 (6) and 2.414 (6) Å] from two 5‐carboxyimidazole‐4‐carboxylate ligands.

The title compound, [Cd(C₄H₄O₄)(C₇H₆N₂)₂(H₂O)]_n, is a three‐dimensional polymeric complex. The Cd^II atom is located on an inversion centre and assumes an elongated octahedral coordination geometry, with a long Cd—O distance of 2.5381 (5) Å to the coordinated bridging water molecule. The succinate dianion, located on another inversion centre, bridges adjacent Cd atoms to form succinate‐bridged polymeric chains. The coordinated water mol­ecule is located on a twofold axis and links adjacent succinate‐bridged chains to form a water‐bridged polymeric chain.

The title complex, {[Ni(C₁₅H₁₁N₄O₂S)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O}_n, was synthesized by the reaction of nickel chloride, 4‐{[(1‐phenyl‐1H‐tetrazol‐5‐yl)sulfanyl]methyl}benzoic acid (HL) and 4,4′‐bipyridine (bpy) under hydrothermal conditions. The asymmetric unit contains two half Ni^II ions, each located on an inversion centre, two L⁻ ligands, one bpy ligand, two coordinated water molecules and one unligated water molecule. Each Ni^II centre is six‐coordinated by two monodentate carboxylate O atoms from two different L⁻ ligands, two pyridine N atoms from two different bpy ligands and two terminal water molecules, displaying a nearly ideal octahedral geometry. The Ni^II ions are bridged by 4,4′‐bipyridine ligands to afford a linear array, with an Ni...Ni separation of 11.361 (1) Å, which is further decorated by two monodentate L⁻ ligands trans to each other, resulting in a one‐dimensional fishbone‐like chain structure. These one‐dimensional fishbone‐like chains are further linked by O—H...O, O—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture. The thermal stability of the title complex was investigated via thermogravimetric analysis.
