ORGANIC INORGANIC COMPOSITE-MATERIALS - HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESES AND STRUCTURES OF THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL, 2-DIMENSIONAL, AND 3-DIMENSIONAL COPPER(II) SULFATE ORGANODIAMINE PHASES U(H2O)(3)(4,4'-BIPYRIDINE)(SO4)]CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O, PE)(2)][CU(BPE)(H2O)(2)(SO4)(2)]CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O, AND [CU(BPE)(H2O)(SO4)] (BPE = TRANS-1,2-BIS(4-PYRIDYL)ETHYLENE)/

Three new members of the copper sulfate/heterocyclic diamine family [C u(4,4'-bpy)(H2O)(3)-(SO4)]. 2H(2)O (1; 4,4'-bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), [C u(bpe)(2)][Cu(bpe)(H2O)(2)(SO4)(2)]. 2H(2)O (2; bpe = trans-1,2-bis(4- pyridyl)ethylene), and [Cu(bpe)(H2O)(SO4)] (3) have been synthesized u sing soft chemical methods. Compound 1 crystallizes as light blue need les from the reaction of a mixture of CuSO4. 5H(2)O, 4,4'-bipyridine, and H2O in the mole ratio 1:1:2778, that was heated to 200 degrees C f or 24 h. The structure of 1 consists of linear cationic chains of {Cu( 4,4'-bpy)(H2O)(3)}(2+) with SO42- anions as spacers between the chains . Compound 2 crystallizes as dark blue rectangular plates from the rea ction of a mixture of CuSO4. 5H(2)O, bpe, and H2O in the mole ratio 1: 1:1111, that was initially left to stand at room temperature for 24 h and then heated to 120 degrees C for an additional 24 h. The structure of 2 exhibits rectangular grids constructed from {Cu(bpe)(2)}(2+) coo rdination units with linear {Cu(bpe)(H2O)(2)(SO4)(2)}(2-) chains threa ded through the grids. Compound 3 crystallizes as light blue shards fr om the reaction mixture CuSO4. 5H(2)O, bpe, and H2O in the mole ratio 1:1:1111, that was left at room temperature for 24 h and then heated t o 120 degrees C for 72 h. The structure of 3 consists of one-dimension al [Cu(bpe)(H2O)](2+) cationic chains linked together through the SO42 - anions to form a three-dimensional framework.
