Abstract

Hydrothermal methods were used to prepare [Cu(O3PC10H6CO2H)] (1) and [Cu(bpy)(HO3PC10H6CO2)]·2H2O (2·2H2O), where H2O3PC10H6CO2H is 2,6-carboxynaphthalene phosphonic acid (H3cnp). The two-dimensional structure of 1 consists of layers of edge-sharing {CuO6} octahedra, producing an AlCl3- type structure of fused hexagonal rings of copper octahedra, enclosing voids of hexagonal profile. The layer composition is CuO3 or CuO6/2 as each oxygen bridges two copper sites. The Hcnp ligands project from either face of the copper "oxide" layer. Adjacent layers interact through hydrogen bonding interactions between the pendant -CO2H groups of the ligand. Coordination of the bipyridine ligand in [Cu(HO3PC10H6CO2)] (2) obstructs expansion in two-dimensions, and the material exhibits a chain structure. The chain is constructed of binuclear units of edge-sharing '4+1' {CuO3N2} square pyramids linked through the dipodal {HO3PC10H6CO2}2- ligands.
