Abstract

The reaction in water of Cu(NO3)2·2.5H 2O with 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or 1,10-phenanthroline-5-amine (phenam), and sodium pyrophosphate (Na 4P2O7), at various pHs, afforded three new copper(II)-pyrophosphate complexes, namely, [Cu(bipy)(cis-H2P 2O7)]2·3H2O (1a), [Cu(phen)(H2O)]4(HP2O7) 2(ClO4)2·4H2O (2), and [Cu2(phenam)2(P2O7)] 2·25H2On (3). A solvent free crystalline phase of 1a was also isolated with formula [Cu(bipy)(trans-H 2P2O7)]2 (1b), which can be regarded as a pseudo-polymorph of 1a. Single crystal X-ray analyses revealed these compounds to have uncommon molecular architectures, with 3 being an unprecedented pyrophosphate-containing two-dimensional (2D) polymer. Compounds 1a/1b and 2 are discrete di- and tetra-nuclear complexes, respectively. The cationic [Cu(phen)(H2O)]4(HP2O 7)22+ unit in 2 presents a unique quasi-flat structure, held together by solely in-plane pyrophosphate bridging modes (short Oeq-P-Oeq and long Oeq-P-O-P-Oeq pathways), a coordination arrangement also not previously reported. A different tetranuclear copper(II)-pyrophosphate arrangement is found in 3, with two classically bridged dimers (Oeq-P-Oeq pathway) joined together by auxiliary equatorial-axial μ-O pyrophosphate bridges. Here, the bidimensionality is reached through bridging phenam ligands, which provide further inter-"tetramer" metal-metal connections [(N,N′) eq-(N″)ax pathway], leading to the formation of an expanded covalent network based on the [Cu2(phenam) 2(P2O7)]2 moiety.
