Abstract: A new complex Ni2(cbba)4(phen)2(μ2-OH2) (1, H2cbba=2-(4′-chlorine-benzoyl)benzoic acid, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, TG, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a=1.075 76(15) nm, b=1.713 7(2) nm, c=1.919 0(3) nm, α=83.487(2)°, β=84.592(2)°, γ=87.343(2) °, V=3.497 0(8) nm3, C80H50Cl4Ni2N4O13, Mr=1 534.46, Dc=1.457 g·cm-3, μ(Mo Kα)=0.761 mm-1, F(000)=1 572, Z=2, the final R=0.049 8 and wR=0.106 9 for 7 883 observed reflections (I>2σ(I)). In the crystal structure, the nickel atom is six-coordinated with three carboxylate oxygen atoms from three different cbba ligands, one oxygen atom from coordinated water molecular and two nitrogen atoms from phen ligand, showing a distorted octahedral geometry. Furthermore, it exhibits a 3D supramolecular network through C-H…O and O-H…O hydrogen bonding interactions. CCDC: 782833. |
