Hydrothermal Synthesis, Conversion Reaction, and Crystal Structure of 2-D 2-bromo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate Copper(II) Complex with 2,2′-bipyridine

Abstract

A fully deprotonated 2-bromo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate copper(II) complex, [Cu(bbdc)(2,2¢-bipy)](H 2 O) (bbdc= 2-bromo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate dianion, 2,2¢-bipy=2,2¢-bipyridine), was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. This compound also can be prepared from the partly deprotonated [Cu(Hbbdc) 2 (2,2¢-bipy)] under basic and hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structure consists of infinite chains of [Cu 2 (l 4 -bbdc)] 2+ building blocks connected by bis-monodentate bbdc ligands and exhibits an extended 2-D architecture.
