Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Cyclic Binuclear Copper Complex [Cu(nphth)(phen)(H_2O)]_2·2H_2O

A novel complex [Cu(nphth)(phen)(H2O)]2·2H2O(nphth=3-nitrophthalate,phen=1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and characterized by elemental analysis,IR,TGA and X-ray single crystal diffraction.The title complex crystallizes in monoclinic with space group P21/n,a=0.999 8(1) nm,b=1.044 5(1) nm,c=1.820 6(1) nm,β=91.423(1)°,V=1.900 7(2) nm3,Z=2,R=0.039 4,wR=0.096 5.The structure analysis shows that the complex exhibits a discrete cyclic binuclear structure.The 2D supramolecular network is constructed through hydrogen bonds and π-π interaction.CCDC:801643.
