Crystal structures of bis- and hexakis[(6,6'-di-hydroxy-bipyridine)copper(II)] nitrate coordination complexes.

ABSTRACT: Two multinuclear complexes synthesized from Cu(NO3)2 and 6,6'-di-hydroxy-bipyridine (dhbp) exhibit bridging nitrate and hydroxide ligands. The dinuclear complex (6,6'-di-hydroxy-bipyridine-2κ(2) N,N')[μ-6-(6-hy-droxy-pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-olato-1:2κ(3) N,N':O (2)](μ-hydroxido-1:2κ(2) O:O')(μ-nitrato-1:2κ(2) O:O')(nitrato-1κO)dicopper(II), [Cu2(C10H7N2O2)(OH)(NO3)2(C10H8N2O2)] or [Cu(6-OH-6'-O-bpy)(NO3)(μ-OH)(μ-NO3)Cu(6,6'-dhbp)], (I), with a 2:1 ratio of nitrate to hydroxide anions and one partially deprotonated dhbp ligand, forms from a water-ethanol mixture at neutral pH.
