Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Two-dimensional Coordination Polymers with 2,3-Dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide and Thiocyanate as Mixed Bridge Ligands

Two two-dimensional coordination polymers,[Cd(μ1,3-SCN-)2(μ1,6-L)]n 1 and [Co(μ1,3-SCN-)2(μ1,6-L)]n 2,have been synthesized with 2,3-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide (L) and thiocyanate as mixed bridging ligands,and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystallography.Both crystals belong to monoclinic system,space group C2/c.The other crystal parameters are as follows:for complex 1:a = 9.732(3),b = 14.658(5),c = 8.811(3) (A),β =102.935(4)°,Z = 4,V = 1225.1(7)(A)3,CsHsCdN4O2S2,Mr = 368.71,Dc.-- 1.999 g/cm3,F(000) =720 andμ = 2.117 mm-1;for complex 2:a = 9.528(7),b = 14.563(11),c = 8.415(6) (A),β =102.195(9)°,V= 1141.3(14) (A)3,Z = 4,C8H8CoN4O2S2,Mr = 315.23,Dc = 1.835 g/cm3,F(000) =636 andμ = 1.863 mm-1.The two complexes show similar two-dimensional sheet structures.Along the c axis one-dimensional chains are constructed by the coordination of Cd(Ⅱ) (or Co(Ⅱ))ions with μ1,6-L bridging ligand,and the μ1,3-SCN- bridging ligands make the chains connect to each other,resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional sheet on the ac plane.
