Crystal structure of (2,2'-bipyridine-k2:N1:N2)-bis(4-acetamidobenzoato-k2:O:O2)copper(II) hydrate, Cu(C10H8N2)(C9H8NO3)2 · 2.43H2O

Abstract

Source of materialAmixture of 4-acetamidobenzoic acid (0.072 g, 0.4 mmol), copper chloride (0.034 g, 0.2 mmol) and 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy, 0.031 g, 0.2 mmol) was dissolved in 15 ml of 95 %ethanol. The pH value of the resultant mixture was adjusted to about 6.5 by adding three drops of triethylamine solution and the reaction was kept under water-bath condition at 343 Kfor 20 h. Afterwards, the system was filtrated, and the filtrate was cooled to room temperature slowly. Deep blue single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained after three weeks.
