Abstract
A fully deprotonated 2-bromo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate copper(II) complex, [Cu(bbdc)(2,2′-bipy)](H2O) (bbdc= 2-bromo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate dianion, 2,2′-bipy=2,2′-bipyridine), was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. This compound also can be prepared from the partly deprotonated [Cu(Hbbdc)2(2,2′-bipy)] under basic and hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structure consists of infinite chains of [Cu2(μ4-bbdc)]2+ building blocks connected by bis-monodentate bbdc ligands and exhibits an extended 2-D architecture.
