Materials Data on CuH2(CO2)2 by Materials Project
Cu(HCOO)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Cu(HCOO)2 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.95 Å. C2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H1+ and two O2- atoms. The C–H bond length is 1.10 Å. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ atom. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one C2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one C2+ atom.
