Polymeric bis(hydrogen pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylato)copper(II) N,N′-dimethylformamide disolvate
Abstract
In the title compound, {[Cu(C6H3N2O4)2]·2C3H7NO}n, each copper(II) center is surrounded by two N atoms, two bridging carboxylate O atoms from two pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylate anions, and two bridging carboxylate O atoms of two pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylate anions from neighboring units, forming an elongated CuN2O4 octahedron. The [Cu(C6H3N2O4)2] blocks, with the copper(II) cation located on a center of inversion, are connected together by four μ-carboxylate bridges, creating a one-dimensional intersecting double chain.
