In the title compound, [Ni(C10H8N2)(H2O)4](C8H10O4), the NiII ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a distorted octa­hedral geometry formed by a chelating 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and four water mol­ecules. The disordered cyclo­hexane-1,4-dicarboxyl­ate dianion is located across another twofold rotation axis and adopts a boat conformation. O—H...O hydrogen bonding between the complex cation and the cyclo­hexane-1,4-dicarboxyl­ate dianion helps to stabilize the crystal structure.

Comment top

Cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H2chdc) is a flexible ligand for constructing functional metal-organic frameworks (Qi et al., 2003; Kurmoo et al., 2003, 2006; Rao et al., 2007). As part of investigation on cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate complexes (Yu et al., 2006, 2007), we present here the crystal structure of the title NiII complex.

The crystal of the NiII compound consists of [Ni(2,2'-bpy)(H2O)4]2+ cations and cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate dianions. The complex cation and conter-dianion are located on individual twofold rotation axis. In the cation, Ni atom coordinates with two N atoms from a 2,2'-bpy ligand and four water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry (Figure 1). The chdc anion is disordered and it has been modeled at two positions with their occupancies set to be 0.5. Hydrogen bonding (Table 1) between coordinated water molecules of the complex cations and carboxyl O atoms of chdc anions results in a double layer supra-molecular structure along ac plane (Figure 2, Figure 3).

Experimental top

NiCl2.6H2O (0.6 mmol, 0.143 g) and H2chdc (0.6 mmol, 0.103 g) were dissolved in 18 ml water. Then an ethanol solution (8 ml) of 2,2'-bipyridine (0.6 mmol, 0.094 g) was mixed with the solution. The pH value of the solution was adjusted to 7.0 with diluted NaOH solution. The mixture was then refluxed at 363 K for 12 h. The filtrate was kept under room temperature for about two weeks. Single crystals of the title compound were obtained from the filtrate yield.

Refinement top

H atoms on water molecules were located in a difference Fourier map and refined as ringing in their as-found relative positions, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The others H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in the riding model approximation with C—H = 0.93 or 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The cyclohexane ring of chdc anion is disordered, and the disorder was modeled as two components. The occupancies of both components were set to be 1/2, and the geometries of the two components were restrained with C—C = 1.54 Å. The displacement parameters of C atoms of the disordered cyclohexane ring were restrained to be equal.

Special details top

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.
