The title complex, [Co(DprS)2 (H2O)2]2(BF4)4 (DprS is di-2-pyrimidinyl sulfide), was obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in space group P21/c with a=11.742(1), b=22.439(2), c=20.538(2) , β=109.713(5)°, Z=4, V=5094.3(3)3 , Dc=1.692 g·cm-3 , μ=0.929 mm-1 , F(000)=2600, R=0.0756 and wR=0.1929. The asymmetric unit of the title complex is comprised of two isomeric cobalt(Ⅱ) centers (Co(1) and Co(2)) with a cis-[Co(DprS)2(H2O)2]2+ moiety. Each Co(Ⅱ) center exhibits a similar distorted N4O2-octahedral coordination geometry surrounded by a pair of DprS in a N,N’-chelate mode and two aqua ligands in a cis-relationship. Unconventional S···π(pyrimidinyl), N···π(pyrimidinyl), and anion(BF4-)···π(pyrimidinyl) are found to combine with the C H···F and O H···F interactions to stabilize a whole three-dimensional framework with the mononuclear units (Co(1) and Co(2)). The ligand conformation will be also discussed.     

Two Co(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers Based on 3,5-Di(4H-1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)benzoic Acid Ligand: Syntheses,Structures and Magnetic Property

Two Co(Ⅱ) coordination polymers, namely [Co(L)Cl]_n(1) and [Co(L)(CH_3 COO)]_n(2), {HL = 3,5-di(4 H-1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)benzoic acid}, were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Compound 1 crystallizes in orthorhombic system, space group Pmma with a = 7.032(5), b = 11.555(8), c = 8.185(5) ?, V = 665.1(7) ?~3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.746 g/cm3~, F(000) = 350, Mr = 349.61, μ = 1.504 mm~(-1), the final R = 0.0568 and w R = 0.1739 for 2312 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). Compound 2 crystallizes in orthorhombic system, space group Pmma with a = 7.7505(17), b = 11.391(3), c = 8.0298(18) ?, V = 708.9(3) ?~3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.748 g/cm~3, F(000) = 378, Mr = 373.20, μ = 1.245 mm-1, the final R = 0.0350 and w R = 0.0873 for 5239 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). Single-crystal X-ray analyses revealed that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit similar 2 D layer structures with uncoordinated carboxyl as dangling arms. The neighboring layers are further connected by these arms, leading to interest 2 D → 3 D polythreading frameworks. Moreover, the magnetic susceptibility study indicates compound 1 exhibits antiferromagnetic behavior.     

Three Zinc(Ⅱ) Complexes Based on 2-Carboxylic Acid-4-nitropyridine-1-oxide: Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Fluorescence Properties

Three new metal-organic complexes, namely [Zn(POA)2(H2O)2](1), [Zn(POA)2(H2O)2]·2H2O(2) and [Zn(POA)2]n(3), have been synthesized by organic ligand 2-carboxylic acid-4-nitropyridine-1-oxide(POA) and zinc(Ⅱ) ions. The structures of complexes 1~3 are characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, XRD powder diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy and thermal stability analysis method. Complex 1 belongs to monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 22.8215(15), b = 7.5613(16), c = 10.048(3) ?, β = 109.47°, V = 1634.7(6) ?~3, Z = 4, F(000) = 944, Dc = 1.900 g/cm^3, C(12)H(10)N4O(12)Zn, Mr = 467.61 and μ = 1.584 mm^-1. The whole molecule presents "V" shape. Complex 2 is a centrosymmetric structure in triclinic system with space group P1: a = 7.4728(5), b = 7.6825(6), c = 8.5184(6) ?, α = 65.975(2), β = 79.87(2), γ = 89.855(2)°, V = 4384.1(5) ?~3, Z = 1, F(000) = 256, Dc = 1.908 g/cm^3, C(12)H(14)N4O(14)Zn, Mr = 503.64 and μ = 1.492 mm^-1. Complex 3 is a one-dimensional chain structure belonging to monoclinic system and space group P21/c with a = 4.9456(6), b = 12.5322(14), c = 11.2514(13) ?, β = 97.313(11)°, V = 6916.8(14) ?~3, Z = 2, F(000) = 432, Dc = 2.072 g/cm^3, C(12)H6N4O(10)Zn, Mr = 431.58, and μ = 1.852 mm^-1. In three complexes, six oxygen atoms from the surrounding coordination atoms form a ZnO6 distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the zinc ions. Meanwhile, fluorescent properties of the three complexes were investigated at room temperature. The fluorescence spectroscopic analysis demonstrated that the ligand POA shows red-shift after coordinating with the zinc(Ⅱ) ions.
