Abstract

In the crystal structure of bis(4, 4′-bipyridine)diaquacopper(II) di(o-sulfobenzimidate) dichloromethane solvate, the host polycationic [Cu(4, 4′-C5H4 NC5H4N)2 (H2O)2] rhombic grids stack over each other 8.16 Å apart along the c-axis of the orthorhombic Pbcn unit cell. The Cu4(4, 4′-bpy)4 rhombus clathrating a disordered dichloromethane molecule has a copper atom at the corner and the spacer heterocycle with pyridyl rings twisted by 21.8(2)°, as its side. The anions occupy the space between the layers; the grids interact with each other indirectly through water-anion hydrogen bonds [O···O = 2.766(4); O··· N = 3.061(4) Å]. The structure sets a remarkable example of potentials born by the polyfunctional o-sulfobenzimidate moiety for construction of unusual architectures.
