One-Dimensional Copper(II) Coordination Polymer Based on 1,2-bis-(4-Pyridyl) Ethane and 1,10-Phenathroline

The one dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer {[Cu(phen)(bpe)(NO3)(H2O)](NO3)(H2O)}(n) (1) has been synthesized using [Cu(phen)(2)(NO3)(2)] (where phen = 1 & PRIME;10-phenanthroline and linker bpe = 1,2-bis-(4-pyridyl) ethane. Complex 1 was characterised by using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The copper(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated with two nitrogen donor atoms from two bpe, two nitrogen donor atoms from phen, one oxygen donor atom from water and one oxygen donor atom from nitrato. Each 1D polymeric chain is connected to another chain via hydrogen bonding and p horizontal ellipsis p stacking interaction to form 3D network structures.
