catena-Poly[[[aquacopper(I)]-μ-4,4′-bipyridyl-κ2N:N′] hemi(isophthalate) monohydrate]
Abstract
The title compound, {[Cu(C10H8N2)(H2O)](C8H4O4)0.5·H2O}n, has been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound consists of nearly linear one-dimensional chains of [Cu(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)]nn+ cations (4,4′-bipy is 4,4′-bipyridyl), surrounded by isophthalate anions and free water molecules. Hydrogen-bonding interactions involving cationic chains, isophthalate anions and free water molecules lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure.
