A New Co(Ⅱ) Coordination Compound Constructed by Tripyridyltriazole and Pyromellitic Acid:Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Antifungal Activity

A new coordination compound, Co(L~(223))_2(H_2O)_2]·H_2pm(1, L~(223) = 3,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-5-(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole and H4 pm = pyromellitic acid), has been synthesized. The structure of complex 1 has been characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectrum analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex 1 belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 10.2470(8), b = 10.2879(9), c = 10.2951(11) ?, α = 109.398(2), β = 97.6590(10), γ = 95.3260(10)°, V = 1003.60(16) ?3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.565 g/cm~3, μ = 0.508 mm~(-1), Mr = 945.73, F(000) = 485, the final R = 0.0562 and w R = 0.0783 with I 2σ(I). Two L223 as chelating ligands link one Co(II) ion to form a 0D motif. Furthermore, the 0D motifs are linked into a 2D coordination pattern with hydrogen bonds. In addition, the antifungal effects of the ligand and the complex were evaluated by the disc diffusion method against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. 1 represents antifungal activity with high levels of inhibitory potency which is larger than the corresponding ligand.
