Poly[[(methanol)(μ(4)-2,4,5,6-tetra-fluoro-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ato)copper(II)] methanol monosolvate]

In the title compound, {[Cu(C(8)F(4)O(4))(CH(3)OH)]·CH(3)OH}(n), two Cu(II) atoms are bridged by four carboxyl-ate groups, forming the well known paddle-wheel secondary building unit (SBU) with axial methanol ligands. In each ligand, the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the two carboxyl-ate groups are 80.43 (17) and 62.5 (4)°. Within each SBU, the four carboxyl-ate groups come from four symmetry-equivalent tetra-fluoro-isophthalate ligands. Each tetra-fluoro-isophthalate group connects two SBUs, forming a layered structure . In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the free and ligated methanol mol-ecules link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
