摘要:
The title two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded coordination compounds, [Cu(C8H5O4)(2)(C4H6N2)(2)], (I), and [Cu(C8H7O2)(2)(C4H6N2)(2)]center dot H2O, (II), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The molecule of complex (I) lies across an inversion centre, and the Cu2+ ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-methyl-1H-imidazole (4-MeIM) molecules and two O atoms from two 3-carboxybenzoate (HBDC-) anions in a square-planar geometry. Adjacent molecules are linked through intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional sheet with (4,4) topology. In the asymmetric part of the unit cell of (II) there are two symmetry-independent molecules, in which each Cu2+ ion is also coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-MeIM molecules and two O atoms from two 3-methylbenzoate (3-MeBC-) anions in a square-planar coordination. Two neutral complex molecules are held together via N-H center dot center dot center dot O(carboxylate) hydrogen bonds to generate a dimeric pair, which is further linked via discrete water molecules into a two-dimensional network with the Schlafli symbol (4(3))(2)(4(6),6(6),8(3)). In both compounds, as well as the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, pi-pi interactions also stabilize the crystal stacking.
