摘要:
In bis[1-(3-pyridyl) butane-1,3-dionato] copper(II) (the Cu atom occupies a centre of inversion), [Cu(C9H8NO2) 2], (I), and bis[1-(4-pyridyl) butane-1,3-dionato] copper(II) methanol solvate, [Cu(C9H8NO2)(2)]center dot CH3OH, (II), the O,O'-chelating diketonate ligands support square-planar coordination of the metal ions [Cu-O = 1.948 (1) -1.965 (1) angstrom]. Weaker (CuN)-N-... interactions [2.405 (2)-2.499 (2) angstrom], at both axial sides, occur between symmetry-related bis(1-pyridylbutane-1,3-dionato)copper(II) molecules. This causes their self-organization into two-dimensional square-grid frameworks, with uniform [6.48 angstrom for (I)] or alternating [4.72 and 6.66 angstrom for (II)] interlayer separations. Guest methanol molecules in (II) reside between the distal layers and form weak hydrogen bonds to coordinated O atoms [(OO)-O-... = 3.018 (4) angstrom].
