Reaction of copper(II) 2-bromobenzoate with β/γ-picoline in methanol–water mixture (4:1 v/v) yielded two isostructural aqua bridged linear polymers [Cu(2-bromobenzoate)2(β-picoline)2(μ-H2O)]n; 1 and [Cu(2-bromobenzoate)2(γ-picoline)2(μ-H2O)]n; 2 which belong to a rare class. The newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray structure determination. Both complexes crystallized in triclinic space group, P-1. X-ray structure determination revealed the presence of 1-dimensional chains of constituent molecules running along a-axis. Empty channels have been observed between the linear chains of complexes. Non-covalent interactions like O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π have been observed which play a decisive role in the stabilization of crystal lattice in both complexes 1 and 2.

Abstract
Reaction of copper(II) 2-bromobenzoate with β/γ-picoline in methanol–water mixture (4:1 v/v) yielded two isostructural aqua bridged linear polymers [Cu(2-bromobenzoate)2(β-picoline)2(μ-H2O)]n; 1 and [Cu(2-bromobenzoate)2(γ-picoline)2(μ-H2O)]n; 2 which belong to a rare class. The newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray structure determination. Both complexes crystallized in triclinic space group, P-1. X-ray structure determination revealed the presence of 1-dimensional chains of constituent molecules running along a-axis. Empty channels have been observed between the linear chains of complexes. Non-covalent interactions like O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π have been observed which play a decisive role in the stabilization of crystal lattice in both complexes 1 and 2.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
