An aqueous solution (20 ml) of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O (74.1 mg, 0.20 mmol), ethylenediamine (0.001 ml, 0.40 mmol) and K4[W(CN)8]·2H2O (58.4 mg, 0.10 mmol) was stirred at 313 K for 30 min. The resulting solution was left for several days at room temperature in the absence of light, and dark-blue crystals of (I) were obtained in ca 70% yield.
H atoms on C and N atoms were treated as riding atoms. Please provide brief details of constraints. Please also provide bond distances and angles involving H atoms, in CIF-format, for inclusion in the archived CIF. The water molecules were disordered over two sets of sites. Only a few partial H atoms of the water molecules could be found from the difference maps, so the water H atoms were not included in the refinement.
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the design and construction of engineered supramolecular frameworks with specific topologies by utilizing molecular precursors containing the cyano group, which is used for its distinct advantage in connecting transition metal ions (Berseth et al., 2000; Ohba et al., 1999; Sokol et al., 2001; Sra et al., 2000; Zhang et al., 2000). These cyano-containing synthons are mainly cyanometallate anions, which show various geometries, e.g. linear, as in [Ag(CN)2]-, trigonal, as in [Cu(CN)3]2-, tetrahedral, as in [Cd(CN)4]2-, square planar, as in [Ni(CN)4]2-, and octahedral, as in [Fe(CN)6]3- (Yuan et al., 2000). This geometric diversity of the cyanometallates makes it possible for chemists to construct desired structures in an effective manner.
Currently, hexacyanometallate ions, [M(CN)6]n- (M is Fe, Cr, Mn, etc.), acting as good building blocks, have been employed successfully to obtain bimetallic assemblies with one-dimensional (one-dimensional) chain, one-dimensional rope-ladder, two-dimensional (two-dimensional) honeycomb, two-dimensional square and three-dimensional (three-dimensional) cubane network structures (Ohba et al., 1999). Octacyanometallates, [M(CN)8]n- (M is Mo or W), as one of these potential connecting moieties, may show various geometrical structures, e.g. square antiprism, dodecahedron, or bicapped trigonal prism (Zhong et al., 2000). These flexible species may be used as versatile synthons to construct a variety of supramolecular architectures or networks with novel topological structures. However, structurally characterized complexes based on [M(CN)8]4- are still very rare (Sieklucka et al., 2000). Here, we present the structure of a novel three-dimensional CuII—WIV porous coordination polymer, {[Cu(en)2][Cu(en)][W(CN)8]}n.4nH2O, (I). \sch
The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of a [W(CN)8]4- ion, a [Cu(en)]2+ ion, two half [Cu(en)2]2+ ions and four water molecules. The W atom is coordinated by eight CN groups in an irregular square antiprism, with W—C distances ranging from 2.156 (5) to 2.172 (5) Å (Fig. 1). Atoms Cu2 and Cu3 are located at the special equivalent positions (0,0,1/2) and (0,0,0), respectively, and both are in an elongated octahedral coordination environment, in which four N atoms from two en ligands occupy the equatorial positions, with Cu—Neq bond distances in the range 2.011 (6)–2.024 (4) Å.
The axial sites are occupied by two N atoms from the bridging cyanide groups on different [W(CN)8]4- anions. Owing to Jahn-Teller effects, the two Cu—Ncyanide distances are much longer than those of the equatorial positions, with Cu2—N7 = 2.644 (5) Å and Cu3—N8 = 2.500 (4) Å.
The Cu1 sphere can be described as a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, with N1 as the axial atom and N2i, N3ii, N9 and N10 as the equatorial coordinated atoms, where atoms N2i and N3ii are from the cyanides of another two adjacent [W(CN)8] moieties [symmetry codes: (i) -1 - x, -1 - y, 1 - z; (ii) x - 1, y, z]. Please check symmetry codes. Consequently, for each [W(CN)8] unit, there are five cyano groups acting as bridging units and another three as terminal groups.
Through the bridging cyano groups (C1≡N1, C2≡N2 and C3≡N3), atoms W1 and Cu1 are linked to form a one-dimensional infinite zigzag ladder structure along the a axis (Fig. 1 b). The ladder is made up of two different collateral Cu2W2(CN)4 12-atom macrocyclic units [(Cu1—N1≡ C1—W1—C2≡N2-)2 and (Cu1—N3≡C3—W1—C2≡N2-)2], with a dihedral angle of 120.6° based on the two Cu2W2 planes. Along the b axis, the zigzag ladders are connected together by W1—C7≡ N7—Cu2 linkages to form two-dimensional sheets. Meanwhile, another kind of linkage, of the form W1—C8≡N8—Cu3, connects the two-dimensional sheets to construct a three-dimensional porous network structure, as depicted in Fig. 2.
It is worthy to note that the displacement ellipsoids of the atoms of the Cu2 cation system are smaller than those of the Cu3 cation system. This may be interpreted from the unique coordination environment about the Cu2 system. Between every two adjacent zigzag ladders, boxes are formed by two pairs of the above mentioned collateral Cu2W2(CN)4 12-atom macrocyclic units joined by four N11—H11C···N6iii hydrogen bonds [symmetry code: (iii) 1 + x, y, z]. Please check symmetry code. In each cavity, a [Cu(en)2]2+ cation system (Cu2) is encapsulated, as shown in Fig. 3. The four N atoms (N11, N12, N11i, N12i Please check symmetry code) of two en ligands are fixed by four Nen—H···Ncyanide hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3, Table 2) and the two C7≡N7 groups act like pincers to clamp the Cu2 atom, through two weak Cu1—N7 interactions. Thus, the Cu2 cation system is stabilized steadily in the void.

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. |

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the design and construction of engineered supramolecular frameworks with specific topologies by utilizing molecular precursors containing the cyano group, which is used for its distinct advantage in connecting transition metal ions (Berseth et al., 2000; Ohba et al., 1999; Sokol et al., 2001; Sra et al., 2000; Zhang et al., 2000). These cyano-containing synthons are mainly cyanometallate anions, which show various geometries, e.g. linear, as in [Ag(CN)2]-, trigonal, as in [Cu(CN)3]2-, tetrahedral, as in [Cd(CN)4]2-, square planar, as in [Ni(CN)4]2-, and octahedral, as in [Fe(CN)6]3- (Yuan et al., 2000). This geometric diversity of the cyanometallates makes it possible for chemists to construct desired structures in an effective manner.
Currently, hexacyanometallate ions, [M(CN)6]n- (M is Fe, Cr, Mn, etc.), acting as good building blocks, have been employed successfully to obtain bimetallic assemblies with one-dimensional (one-dimensional) chain, one-dimensional rope-ladder, two-dimensional (two-dimensional) honeycomb, two-dimensional square and three-dimensional (three-dimensional) cubane network structures (Ohba et al., 1999). Octacyanometallates, [M(CN)8]n- (M is Mo or W), as one of these potential connecting moieties, may show various geometrical structures, e.g. square antiprism, dodecahedron, or bicapped trigonal prism (Zhong et al., 2000). These flexible species may be used as versatile synthons to construct a variety of supramolecular architectures or networks with novel topological structures. However, structurally characterized complexes based on [M(CN)8]4- are still very rare (Sieklucka et al., 2000). Here, we present the structure of a novel three-dimensional CuII—WIV porous coordination polymer, {[Cu(en)2][Cu(en)][W(CN)8]}n.4nH2O, (I). \sch
The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of a [W(CN)8]4- ion, a [Cu(en)]2+ ion, two half [Cu(en)2]2+ ions and four water molecules. The W atom is coordinated by eight CN groups in an irregular square antiprism, with W—C distances ranging from 2.156 (5) to 2.172 (5) Å (Fig. 1). Atoms Cu2 and Cu3 are located at the special equivalent positions (0,0,1/2) and (0,0,0), respectively, and both are in an elongated octahedral coordination environment, in which four N atoms from two en ligands occupy the equatorial positions, with Cu—Neq bond distances in the range 2.011 (6)–2.024 (4) Å.
The axial sites are occupied by two N atoms from the bridging cyanide groups on different [W(CN)8]4- anions. Owing to Jahn-Teller effects, the two Cu—Ncyanide distances are much longer than those of the equatorial positions, with Cu2—N7 = 2.644 (5) Å and Cu3—N8 = 2.500 (4) Å.
The Cu1 sphere can be described as a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, with N1 as the axial atom and N2i, N3ii, N9 and N10 as the equatorial coordinated atoms, where atoms N2i and N3ii are from the cyanides of another two adjacent [W(CN)8] moieties [symmetry codes: (i) -1 - x, -1 - y, 1 - z; (ii) x - 1, y, z]. Please check symmetry codes. Consequently, for each [W(CN)8] unit, there are five cyano groups acting as bridging units and another three as terminal groups.
Through the bridging cyano groups (C1≡N1, C2≡N2 and C3≡N3), atoms W1 and Cu1 are linked to form a one-dimensional infinite zigzag ladder structure along the a axis (Fig. 1 b). The ladder is made up of two different collateral Cu2W2(CN)4 12-atom macrocyclic units [(Cu1—N1≡ C1—W1—C2≡N2-)2 and (Cu1—N3≡C3—W1—C2≡N2-)2], with a dihedral angle of 120.6° based on the two Cu2W2 planes. Along the b axis, the zigzag ladders are connected together by W1—C7≡ N7—Cu2 linkages to form two-dimensional sheets. Meanwhile, another kind of linkage, of the form W1—C8≡N8—Cu3, connects the two-dimensional sheets to construct a three-dimensional porous network structure, as depicted in Fig. 2.
It is worthy to note that the displacement ellipsoids of the atoms of the Cu2 cation system are smaller than those of the Cu3 cation system. This may be interpreted from the unique coordination environment about the Cu2 system. Between every two adjacent zigzag ladders, boxes are formed by two pairs of the above mentioned collateral Cu2W2(CN)4 12-atom macrocyclic units joined by four N11—H11C···N6iii hydrogen bonds [symmetry code: (iii) 1 + x, y, z]. Please check symmetry code. In each cavity, a [Cu(en)2]2+ cation system (Cu2) is encapsulated, as shown in Fig. 3. The four N atoms (N11, N12, N11i, N12i Please check symmetry code) of two en ligands are fixed by four Nen—H···Ncyanide hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3, Table 2) and the two C7≡N7 groups act like pincers to clamp the Cu2 atom, through two weak Cu1—N7 interactions. Thus, the Cu2 cation system is stabilized steadily in the void.
