Poly[[μ-1,4-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)piperazine]bis[μ3-4-(2-carboxylatoethyl)benzoato]dicopper(II)]

Abstract

In the title coordination polymer, [Cu2(C9H6O4)2(C16H20N4)]n, the CuII atoms in {NO4} square-pyramidal coordination environments are conjoined into diperiodic coordination polymer slabs by the full span of the bridging 1,4-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)piperazine (bpmp) and 4-(carboxylethyl)benzoate (ceb) ligands. The slab motifs are expanded into the full crystal structure by means of longer-range C—H...O attractive interactions.
