| Abstract: A copper(Ⅱ) complex [Cu2(m-MBA)4(2，2′-bipy)2(H2O)]·H2O with m-methylbenzoic acid (m-MBA), 2,2′-bipyridine (2,2′-bipy) and water molecule has been synthesized by means of hydrothermal way and characterized. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group C2/c, a=2.591 8(5) nm, b=1.414 2(3) nm, c=1.790 8(4) nm, β=131.80(3)°, V=4.893 3(17) nm3, Dc=1.379 g·cm-3, Z=4, F(000)=2 104 , Final GooF=1.034, R1=0.065 6, wR2=0.197 6. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring copper(Ⅱ) ions are linked together by two bridging-chelating m-methylbenzoic acid groups, one bridging water molecule, forming a cage structure and the Cu(Ⅱ)-Cu(Ⅱ) bond distance is 0.366 7 nm. Each copper(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms of one 2,2′-bipyridine molecule and four oxygen atoms from three m-methylbenzoic acid molecules and one water molecule, repectiveley, forming a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The cyclic voltammetric behavior of the Complex was also investigated. CCDC: 648619. |
