catena-Polydiaqua­cobalt(II)-μ2-7-oxa­bicyclo­2.2.1heptane-23-dicarboxyl­ato-κ4O2O3O7:O2′

摘要

The polymeric title complex, [Co(C8H8O5)(H2O)2]n was synthesized by reaction of cobalt acetate with 7-oxabicyclo­[2,2,1]heptane-2,3-dicarb­oxy­lic anhydride. The Co^II ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral environment, binding to two water O atoms, to the ether O atom of the bicyclo­heptane unit, to two carboxyl­ate O atoms from two different carboxyl­ate groups of the same anion and to one carboxyl­ate O atom from a symmetry-related anion. The bridging character of the dianion leads to the formation of ribbons along [001]. The ribbons are linked into a layered network parallel to (010) by several O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions involving the coordinating water mol­ecules as donors and the carboxyl­ate O atoms of neighbouring ribbons as acceptors. The crystal under investigation was an inversion twin.
