Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetism of 1D cobalt(II) coordination polymer with thiocyanate as bridging ligand

A one-dimensional coordination polymer [Co(μ _1,3-NCS)₂(npdo)₂] _n (npdo?=?4-nitropyridine N-oxide) has been synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group of Pbcn with a?=?22.688(5)?Å, b?=?7.2636(17)?Å, c?=?10.299(2)?Å. Adjacent Co(II) ions are coordinated by two μ _1,3-SCN^? bridging ligands, forming a one-dimensional chain along the c axis and the npdo coordinates to Co(II) ion as a terminal ligand. The thermal variation of the magnetic moments of the complex reflects the antiferromagnetic interaction between the bridged Co(II) ions above 20?K and the ferromagnetic transition or the strong short-range spin interaction below 20?K.     

Synthesis,crystal structures and fluorescence of cadmium(II) coordination polymers with derivatives of pyrazine-1,4-dioxide and thiocyanate as mixed-bridging ligands

Two Cd(II) coordination polymers have been synthesized with derivatives of pyrazine-1,4-dioxide and thiocyanate anion as bridging ligands and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1, [Cd(μ_1,3-SCN^?)₂(μ_1,6-L1)] _n (L1?=?2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide), belongs to the triclinic, space group P 1 with a?=?5.7627(18)?Å, b?=?7.182(2)?Å, c?=?7.509(2)?Å, α?=?74.042(3)°, β?=?84.766(4)°, γ?=?88.162(4)°; complex 2, [Cd₂(μ_1,3-SCN^?)₄(μ₄-L2)] _n (L2?=?2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide), crystallizes in a monoclinic system with space group C2/m with a?=?10.194(4)?Å, b?=?13.491(6)?Å, c?=?8.140(3)?Å, β?=?120.372(4)°. Complex 1 shows a two-dimensional sheet structure, and in a direction the Cd(II) ions were coordinated by μ_1,3-SCN^? forming the one-dimensional chain and the L1 bridging ligand made the chains connect in the c direction leading to formation of a two-dimensional sheet on the ac plane. For 2 the one-dimensional chains in the a axis were constructed by coordination of μ_1,3-SCN^? bridging ligands with the Cd(II) ions, and in b and c directions the chains were joined by L2 bridging ligands leading to a three-dimensional structure. In 2 L2 displays a μ₄-bridging coordination mode. Both complexes exhibit strong fluorescence emission.
