Source of materialAmixture of Cu(ClO 4 ) 2 (0.1 mmol), 2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine-5-carboxybic acid (0.1 mmol) and 2,2'-bipyridine (0.13 mmol) were dissolved in 15 ml of ethanol (95 %). The pH value of the resultant mixture was adjusted to about 4.8 by adding one drop of triethylamine solution and the reaction was kept under water-bath condition at 343 Kfor 20 h. Afterwards the mixture was filtrated, and the filtrate was cooled to room temperature slowly. Blue block-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for Xraydiffraction analysis were obtained after one week (yield 42 % basedonCu).

DiscussionInorganic-organic hybrid materials based upon the spontaneous self assembly of transition metal ions and multifunctional organic ligands constitute adynamic, thriving field that has attracted increasingr esearchi nterests during thel astf ew decades. The remarkable progress in crystal engineering has provided aw ide range of hybrid systemswith potential applications and novel topologies [1][2][3][4][5][6]. However, controlling the unique orientation of organic ligands in hybrid systemsand thus prediction of the resultings tructure representa na ppealingc hallenges. Some factors such as metal ions, thes tructural characteristics of polydentate organicligands [7], pH valueofthe solution [8],the metal ligand ratio [9],the temperature [10] and different solvent systems, intensively influence the resulting structures. Furthermore, weak interactions also have agreat influence that can help to direct and stabilize the architectures [11]. Copper is biologically active and an essential trace element in biology as acomponent of awide variety of metallo-proteins and awealth of enzyme families. Organicl igands with carboxylic groups have been investigated extensivelyb ecause they usuallyd isplay variousc oordination modes and result in av ariety of multidimensional frameworks [12].Continuing our interests in the structures and properties of an extensive series of coordination architectures and oligomers consisting of 2,4-di-hydroxypyrimidine-5-carboxybic acid (Hdpca) and Cu(II) building blocks, the title compound is synthesized. Thecrystal structureconsistsofasymmetric units containingo ne Cu complex, [Cu(H 2 O)(C 10 H 8 N 2 )(C 5 H 3 N 2 O 4 )(ClO 4 )]. The central copper atom has aslightly distorted octahedral geometry (CuN 2 O 4 ), provided by four oxygen donors from one deprotonated dpca -ligand, one coordinated water molecule, one ClO 4 -ion and two Na toms from one bipy ligand. Theb ond lengths and angles around the Cu(II) ion are in the ranges of 1.924 (3) -2 .620 (4)Åa nd 81.54 (15)°-1 75.30 (15)°, respectively, which is in the normalbond range for an octahedral Cu complex. Both bipy and dpca -act as chelating ligands terminating the coordination of the Cu(II) center. The pyrimidine ring (C11/N4/C12/ C13/C14 /N3) and the chelate ring (O2/Cu/O3/C15/C13/C14) are nearly coplanar with adihedral angle of 7.3°. T...
