Synthesis and Structure of a 2D-Supramolecular Compound: [Cu(Phen)2Cl]+Cl+3.5H2O

Abstract

A new 2D-supramolecular compound of formula   [Cu(Phen)₂Cl]·Cl·3.5H₂O (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has   been synthesized and determined by X-ray diffraction. The   crystal is monoclinic, space group C2/c with unit cell parameters:   a = 23.354(2)Å, b = 30.289(3)Å, c = 7.4973(6)Å.   α = 90º, β = 97.744(4)º, γ = 90º, v = 5255.1(8)Å3, z = 8, Dc =   1.441 Mg/m³, Mr = 569.90, F(000) = 2336 and μ = 1.072   mm^-1. The final R and wR are 0.0734 and 0.2139, respectively   for 5997 observed reflections with I>2σ(I). The center   copper(II) ion is five-coordinated in a square pyramidal   geometry. The compound is in 2D-supramolecular state.
