The mixed-ligand metal-organic complex poly[([mu]3-phthal­ato)[[mu]2-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-ido]dicopper(II)], [Cu2(C8H4O4)(C8H6N3)2]n, has been synthesized by the reaction of copper(II) acetate with 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (HL) and phthalic acid. The binuclear chelating-bridging L units are further linked by bridging phthalate ligands into a two-dimensional network parallel to the (010) plane. The two-dimensional networks are extended into a three-dimensional supra­molecular architecture via [pi]-[pi] stacking inter­actions.

Comment top

The rapid development in crystal engineering of metal-directed supramolecular architectures assembled by means of coordinative forces, and other weak cooperative interactions such as hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking, continues to attract considerable interest in the design of new crystalline materials (Ye et al., 2005). As is widely known, the assembly of such materials can be influenced significantly by the reaction temperature, metal–ligand ratio, anion type, acidity and even the solvent, leading to the formation of a variety of interesting coordination complexes (Du et al., 2006). In this regard, further exploration and appropriate experimental results may guide chemists from spontaneous assembly to the controllable preparation of metallosupramolecular systems. With regard to the organic ligands suitable for designing new metal–organic supramolecular structures, dicarboxylates such as the rigid aromatic phthalate, isophthalate and terephthalate anions have been widely utilized (Ye et al., 2005).

N-Donor building blocks, such as the traditionally employed 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine, have been extensively studied in coordination chemistry. 2-(1H-Pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (HL), first reported by Tisler et al. (1980), is a multifunctional ligand having several coordination modes. For a long time, HL was considered as a simple bidentate chelating ligand (Sugiyarto & Goodwin, 1988) similar to 2,2-bipyridine. However, in 1997, Ward and co-workers (Jones et al., 1997) observed another coordination mode, where it acted as a terdentate bridging ligand via deprotonation of the pyrazole NH group and coordination of the pyrazole N atom to a second metal ion. The coordination chemistry of HL as a terdentate bridging ligand with CuII cations has been studied by several researchers to date (Jeffery et al., 1997; Mann et al., 1999; Chandrasekhar et al., 2005; Hu et al., 2006), but to the best of our knowledge, only three structurally related CuII complexes with deprotonation of HL and aromatic acids have been reported (Hu et al., 2006). As a systematic investigation of the coordination chemistry of HL with CuII, we report here the preparation and structural characterization of the title novel CuII complex, (I).

The structure of (I) is a two-dimensional layer constructed by the dicarboxylate ligands linking binuclear Cu2(L)2 units with pyrazolate bridges. As shown in Fig. 1, there are two independent CuII cations (Cu1 and Cu2) in the asymmetric unit. Atom Cu1 is four-coordinated by three N atoms of two distinct L ligands and one carboxylate O atom from a phthalate dianion to form a distorted square[-planar?] geometry, with angles around the CuII centre ranging from 80.89 (10) to 96.45 (10)° (Table 1). Atom Cu2 has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry with three N atoms from two distinct L ligands and two O atoms from different carboxylate groups. Two L ligands bridge the two CuII centres to form an approximately planar Cu2(L)2 binuclear unit. Within this binuclear unit, the Cu1···Cu2 distance is 3.988 (1) Å and the two planar Cu2(L)2 units are further bridged by bidentate (O1 and O2) and monodentate (O4) phthalate O atoms to form a two-dimensional layer parallel to the (010) plane. It should be noted that the phthalate dianions adopt two kinds of coordination mode in this two-dimensional pattern.

Within the two-dimensional layer, neighbouring parallel aromatic rings of L are 3.686 (2) and 3.898 (2) Å apart, indicating the presence of centroid-to-centroid ππ stacking interactions that further stabilize the crystal structure (Fig. 2). The benzene rings, located on both sides of the coordination layers, show strong interlayer ππ stacking interactions (Fig. 3); the centroid-to-centroid distances here are 3.674 (2) Å. These ππ interactions extend the two-dimensional layer network into a three-dimensional framework.

The structure of (I) thus shows that the assembly of this complex is directed by the stereochemical preference of the CuII cations: fulfilling this requirement necessitates deprotonation of the pyrazole groups to form a planar binuclear Cu2(L)2 unit.

Experimental top

A mixture containing Cu(OAc)2.H2O (19.9 mg, 0.10 mmol), HL (14.5 mg, 0.10 mmol), phthalic acid (16.8 mg, 0.10 mmol) and ????? [Text missing] (10 ml) was sealed in a Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel (20 ml), which was heated at 413 K for 3 d and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 5 K h-1. Blue block-shaped crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained in 60% yield. Analysis, calculated for (I): C 49.74, H 2.78, N 14.50%; found: C 49.61, H 2.84, N 14.59%.

Refinement top

Although all H atoms were visible in difference maps, they were subsequently placed in geometrically calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and included in the final refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
