Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel 2D Coordination Polymer [Cu_3(mal)_2(di-2-pyridlyktone)_2]

A novel coordination polymer of Cu II with flexible ligands,namely,[Cu 3 (mal) 2 (di2-pyridlyktone) 2 ] (1,H 2 mal=maleic acid),was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,thermogravimetric analyses,elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy.The structure indicates that the complex crystallizes in monoclinic,space group P2 1 /c with a=10.268(2),b=17.737(3),c=8.038(1),β=98.275(2)°,V=1448.6(4) 3,Z=2,D c=1.883 Mg·m-3,μ=2.260 mm-1,F(000)=826,and the final R=0.0321 and wR=0.0820.In 1,three Cu II centers (Cu(1),Cu(2),Cu(1A)) are bridged by two uncommon μ 3-bridging H 2 mal ligands,furnishing a centrosymmetric trimetallic unit.Via further Cu-O COO coordination interactions,extention of these trimetallic units in two directions gives rise to an infinite corrugated 2D layer.In addition,thermal stability and electrochemistry of 1 were studied.
