ABSTRACT: Five Cu(II)/benzoate/4,4¢-bipy complexes, namely, [Cu(H2O)(benzoate)2(4,4¢-bipy)2](benzoic acid)2â(4,4¢-bipy) (1),
[Cu2(H2O)2(benzoate)4(4,4¢-bipy)3]â(H2O)9 (2), [Cu2(benzoate)4(4,4¢-bipy)3] (3), [Cu3(H2O)4(benzoate)6(4,4¢-bipy)4.5]â(4,4¢-bipy)â
(H2O)5 (4), and [Cu3(OH)2(H2O)2(benzoate)4(4,4¢-bipy)2] (5) (4,4¢-bipy ) 4,4¢-bipyridine), have been synthesized through hydrothermal
reaction of copper(II) nitrate, benzoic acid, and 4,4¢-bipyridine under different pH conditions. The diverse product structures show
the marked sensitivity of the structural chemistry of the aromatic carboxylate ligand to synthesis conditions. Complex 1, which
exhibits a zero-dimensional (0D) structure of mononuclear copper(II), is formed at pH ) 5.5. At pH ) 6.0, dimeric copper(II)
complexes of 2 and 3 are formed. Reaction at pH ) 7 leads to a one-dimensional (1D) structure of 4. A further increase of the pH
to 8.0 results in a two-dimensional (2D) structure of 5. Crystal data are monoclinic, space group P2/n, a ) 13.992(4) Å, b )
