A mixture of Mn(ClO4)2.6H2O (0.361 g, 1 mmol), 4,4'-bipy (0.234 g, 1.5 mmol) and 75% ethanol solution (20 ml) was stirred for 30 min at 353 K. 4-Aminobenzoic acid (0.137 g, 1 mmol) was added and the pH adjusted to 7.0 with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.1 mol l-1). The mixture was stirred continuously for another 30 min and then filtered. Colorless single crystals were obtained at room temperature by slow evaporation of the filtrate over a period of several days (yield 67%, based on Mn).
The isolated perchlorate anion showed significantly elongated displacement ellipsoids indicating disorder over two positions. Thus it was refined as being disordered over two sites, with an occupancy ratio of 58:42. The occupancy factor was initially obtained from refinement with a free variable and then fixed to define the occupancy for each disordered group. Owing to the significant overlap of the disordered atoms, the following restraints were applied: the anisotropic displacement parameters of the disordered atoms were restrained to be close to isotropic and those of equivalent atoms were set to be identical. All water H atoms were tentatively located in difference density Fourier maps and were refined with O—H distance restraints of 0.84 (1) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). In the final stage of refinement, they were treated as riding on their parent O atoms. All H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms of the NH2 group were tentatively located in difference density Fourier maps and were refined with N—H distance restraints of 0.86 (1) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Over the past two decades, the assembly, structures and potential applications of metal coordination polymers as functional materials have attracted much attention owing to their fascinating topologies and interesting properties in gas storage, optics, sensor, magnetism etc. (Li et al., 1999; Lehn, 1990; Yaghi et al., 2003; Eddaoudi et al., 2001). Considerable efforts have been invested in exploring open metal–organic polymers via covalent interactions (Phan et al., 2010; Yaghi et al., 1998; Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001). Aside from covalent interactions, π–π and hydrogen-bond contacts are also used to construct interesting coordination polymers with unique physical and chemical properties (Pan et al., 2001; Jenniefer & Muthiah, 2011; Lipstman & Goldberg, 2009; Xu & Xie, 2010).
The incorporation of transition metal ions into one-, two- and three-dimensional coordination frameworks is currently of great interest in supramolecular chemistry (Ma et al., 2004; Granifo et al., 2004; Cheng et al., 2011; Hazra et al., 2011). Noticeably, the selection of multifunctional organic ligands, such as carboxylates, bipyridine (bipy) or its derivatives, and mixtures of both carboxylate and bipy ligands, is a key point in the design and assembly of expected compounds (Tong & Chen, 2000; Liao et al., 2004; Prior et al., 2003; Ayyappan et al., 2002). In general, 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) ligands may act in bidentate bridging or monodentate terminal coordination modes to transition metal ions, giving rise to one-dimensional linear, zigzag, ladder, molecular antenna railroads and chains, two-dimensional square and rectangular grid networks, or three-dimensional non-interpenetrated and interpenetrated networks (Biradha et al., 2006).
In our continuing efforts in this field (Fang & Wang, 2010; Wang & Fang, 2010; Wang, Fan et al., 2010; Gao et al., 2011), we isolated the MnII supramolecular grid network structure µ2-4,4'-bipyridine-κN,N'-bis[tetraaqua(4,4'-bipyridine-κN)dimanganese(II)] bis(4-aminobenzoate) bis(perchlorate)–4,4'-bipyridine–water (1/2/4), (I), which is assembled from 4-aminobenzoate and 4,4'-bipy ligands. A search in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 5.33; Allen, 2002) indicated only a few metal–organic compounds that are constructed from a mixture of 4-aminobenzoate and 4,4'-bipy ligands (Li et al., 2003; Qiu et al., 2008). The 4,4'-bipy ligands in (I) exhibit a `Z-type' coordination mode to MnII ions, resulting in the formation of a rectangular grid network hosting the organic ligands, anions and water molecules via weak noncovalent interactions.
Compound (I) is composed of a dinuclear manganese [Mn2(4,4'-bipy)3(H2O)8] unit that is located around an inversion center. The asymmetric unit contains contains cationic [Mn(4,4'-bipy)1.5(H2O)4]2+, one isolated 4,4'-bipy molecule, one 4-aminobenzoate ion, one disordered perchlorate ion and two uncoordinated water molecules (Fig. 1). The isolated perchlorate ion is independently disordered over two positions in an occupancy ratio of 58:42 (see Refinement). The MnII center is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two different 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) ligands and four O atoms from three [four?] water molecules, displaying a distorted octahedral coordination environment. The Mn—O and Mn—N bond lengths and their relevant angles (Table 1), all of which are within the ranges observed for other MnII complexes with oxygen or nitrogen donors (Zou et al., 2005), are 2.162 (3)–2.282 (3) Å and 85.18 (11)–178.11 (12)°, respectively. It is noted that only one 4,4'-bipy molecule in the structure acts as a bidentate bridging ligand between two Mn metal ions, while the other two act as monodentate terminal ligands, resulting in the formation of a `Z-type' host unit. There are numerous examples of metal coordination compounds derived from 4,4'-bipy ligands; however, few examples with a `Z-type' host unit are found (Qiu et al., 2008) in the CSD. The structure of (I) is isostructural with that of [Zn2(bipy)3(H2O)8](PF6)2(paba)2.2(bipy).4H2O (bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine and paba = 4-aminobenzoate; Qiu et al., 2008), the latter displaying significant changes in the metal-to-N/O bond lengths [2.097 (3)–2.168 (3) Å].
The most striking feature of the structure is that the `Z-type' host units are connected to each other via face-to-face π–π interactions among the pyridine rings of the 4,4'-bipy ligands to form an infinite zigzag chain, which is further supported by water–pyridine O—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 2). The centroid–centroid distances between neighboring 4,4'-bipy ligands are ca 3.6–3.9 Å (Table 3), indicatve of normal π–π stacking interactions (Lee et al., 2007). The corners of these chains, built up by Mn(OH)4 units, are surrounded by the uncoordinated water molecules and the carboxylate O atoms of the 4-aminobenzoate ions, and all of these are connected to each other via strong water–water or water–carboxylate O—H··· O hydrogen-bond interactions, leading to a three-dimensional grid network with a large cavity of ca 19.2 × 12.8 Å2 [Å?] running along the b axis of the unit cell (the distance between two neighboring MnII ions) (Fig. 2). The arrangement is similar to that of [Cd2(4,4'-bipy)5(H2O)6](3-paba)2(ClO4)2.2(H2O) (3-paba = 3-aminobenzoate) reported by us (Gao et al., 2011), whose structure is constructed from stacking infinite `H-type' chains. Obviously, to form suitable π–π interactions and electrostatic forces of the short 2,2' H···H contacts, the pyridine ring of the monodentate terminal 4,4'-bipy ligand is nonplanar with a dihedral angle of 30.3 (3)°.
In the supramolecular structure of (I), four independent components (4,4'-bipy, 4-aminobenzoate, perchlorate anions and lattice water molecules) are encapsulated in the cavities by numerous hydrogen bonds (Table 2). Two molecules (O1W and O3W) of the Mn(OH2)4 unit are hydrogen bonded to the O5W water molecule in a cyclic R12(6) motif, O2W is hydrogen bonded to O6W and further hydrogen bonded to carboxylate atom O5 in an R34(10) ring (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995). Meanwhile, two symmetry-related O6W water molecules are hydrogen bonded to carboxylate atoms O5 and O6 in an R44(12) ring, which are also linked to O1W and O5W, giving rise to an R35(11) ring. The isolated 4,4'-bipy ligands located in the middle of the cavity are supported by water–pyridine O—H···N hydrogen bonds. The remaining voids are occupied by numerous perchlorate anions that are linked by aminobenzoate–perchlorate N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2).
