Description
Summary:The title compound, [Cu2V4O12(C10H8N2)2]n, shows a two-dimensional copper–vanadate layer composed of eight-membered rings, each containing four corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra; these are linked through six pentacoordinated CuII atoms with the 2,2′-bipyridine ligands attached and pointing above and below the plane of the layer. The Cu atom is coordinated by two N donors from the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and three O atoms from three adjacent VO4 units to form a distorted tetragonal pyramid. These layers are further connected by π–π interactions between interleaving bipyridine ligands of adjacent layers [centroid–centroid distances = 3.63 (1) and 3.68 (1) Å] into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
