Two new compounds have been obtained from 1-Mecyt in aqueous medium, [M(H2O)6(1-Mecyt)6][ClO4]2·H2O [M = MnII1 or CoII2], and consist of hexaaqua ions linked to six 1-Mecyt molecules in such a way as to constitute a supramolecular cationic entity. Crystallization water molecules join the supramolecular assemblies by means of hydrogen bonds. Perchlorate anions, which are held in the crystal by electrostatic interactions with the cationic assemblies, insure the electroneutrality of the compounds. Compound 2 (pale pink crystals), when not filtered, over time disappears and gives rise to dark pink crystals of formula [Co(1-Mecyt)4][ClO4]23. Compound 3 contains four 1-Mecyt molecules directly linked through N(3) atoms to Co2+ ions in a tetrahedral arrangement. No water molecule is present. The [Co(1-Mecyt)4]2+ cationic units are joined together through hydrogen bonds and form a chain. Perchlorate anions hold these cationic chains together by means of electrostatic forces. The reaction of cyt with Mn2+ and Co2+ ions leads to compounds of formulae [M(H2O)4(cyt)2][ClO4]2·2cyt·2H2O [M = Mn2+4 or Co2+5] in which base pairs are formed between the two unco-ordinated cytosine molecules and those co-ordinated to the metal ion through the O(2) atom. Each metal ion is six-co-ordinated, being linked also to four water molecules. Perchlorate anions and crystallization water molecules interact with the base pairs and the metal ion through hydrogen bonds to form five-membered rings. The cobalt(II) compound constitutes the first example of cytosine–cobalt(II) co-ordination via O(2).

It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P, with a= 7.021(1), b= 10.004(1), c= 10.721(1)Å, α= 100.83(1), β= 95.80(1), γ= 99.05(1)° and Z= 1. Least-squares refinement of 2888 reflections with I > 3σ(I) and 256 parameters gave a final R′= 0.0522. The structure consists of discrete centrosymmetric di-µ-hydroxo-copper(II) dimers with 2,2′-bipyrimidine as outer ligand, weakly co-ordinated and crystallization water molecules, and unco-ordinated perchlorate anions. The co-ordination geometry around each copper(II) ion is approximately elongated tetragonal octahedral with the two bridging hydroxo groups and two nitrogen atoms of bipym building the equatorial plane and two water molecules occupying the axial positions. The Cu(1)–OH–Cu(1a) bridging angle and the intramolecular Cu(1) Cu(1a) separation are 95.0(1)° and 2.870(1)Å, respectively. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, studied in the range 300–4 K, shows a relatively strong intramolecular ferromagnetic coupling (+147 cm–1 for the singlet–triplet energy gap). Further evidence for the triplet ground state is provided by the variable-temperature ESR spectra. The strength of the exchange interaction is discussed on the basis of the structural features and correlated with reported magneto-structural data on parent double hydroxide-bridged copper(II) complexes. The formation of hydroxo complexes of [Cu(bipym)(H2O)]2+ has been investigated by potentiometry in aqueous solutions [equation (i); log K1=–10.350(1)(25 °C, 0.1 mol dm–3 NaNO3)]. 2[Cu(bipym)(H2O)2]2+ [graphic omitted] [Cu2(bipym)2(OH)2]2++ 2H++ 2H2O (i) The value of this stability constant is compared to those reported for related CuIIL complexes where L are bidentate N-donor ligands.

Two new compounds have been obtained from 1-Mecyt in aqueous medium, [M(H2O)6(1-Mecyt)6][ClO4]2·H2O [M = MnII1 or CoII2], and consist of hexaaqua ions linked to six 1-Mecyt molecules in such a way as to constitute a supramolecular cationic entity.

Perchlorate anions, which are held in the crystal by electrostatic interactions with the cationic assemblies, insure the electroneutrality of the compounds. Compound 2 (pale pink crystals), when not filtered, over time disappears and gives rise to dark pink crystals of formula [Co(1-Mecyt)4][ClO4]23. Compound 3 contains four 1-Mecyt molecules directly linked through N(3) atoms to Co2+ ions in a tetrahedral arrangement. No water molecule is present. The [Co(1-Mecyt)4]2+ cationic units are joined together through hydrogen bonds and form a chain. Perchlorate anions hold these cationic chains together by means of electrostatic forces. The reaction of cyt with Mn2+ and Co2+ ions leads to compounds of formulae [M(H2O)4(cyt)2][ClO4]2·2cyt·2H2O [M = Mn2+4 or Co2+5] in which base pairs are formed between the two unco-ordinated cytosine molecules and those co-ordinated to the metal ion through the O(2) atom. Each metal ion is six-co-ordinated, being linked also to four water molecules. Perchlorate anions and crystallization water molecules interact with the base pairs and the metal ion through hydrogen bonds to form five-membered rings.
