Hydrothermal reactions of 5-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl)aminoisophthalic acid(H2paip) with Mn(OAc)2·4H2O and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O produced two 2D complexes, [Mn(paip)]n·nH2O(1) and [Cu(paip)(H2O)]n(2). In complex 1, paip serves as a μ4-bridge, and its two carboxylate groups in μ2,η2-bridging and chelating modes connect Mn(Ⅱ) into 1D chains, which are further extended into a 2D layer through coordination of two chelating nitrogen atoms. However, paip in complex 2 acts as a μ3-bridge to link Cu(Ⅱ) into a 2D layer, in which two carboxylate groups function in a monodentate mode, and hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water and carboxylate oxygen atoms further extend the 2D layers into a 3D supramolecular network. The frameworks of complexes 1 and 2 are stable up to 470 and 250 ℃, respectively. Magnetic measurement shows that complex 2 possesses a weak antiferromagnetic interaction.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two One-dimensional Cobalt(Ⅱ) Compounds with the Flexible Dipyridyl Ligan

Two one-dimensional cobalt(Ⅱ) compounds {[Co(Hbpma)(H2O)4 ] 2 ·3SO 4 ·4.5H2O} n1 and {[Co(Hbpma)(NCS) 3 (H2O)]·2.85H2O}n2 (bpma = N,N -bis(3-pyridylmethyl)amine) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 15.8780(5), b = 16.2187(5), c = 16.4858(5) , α = 91.0420(10), β = 94.5190(10), γ = 101.4360(10)°, V = 4145.7(2) 3 , C 24 H 53 Co 2 N 6 O 24.50 S 3 , M r = 1031.76, Z = 4, D c = 1.653 g/cm 3 , μ(MoKα) = 1.046 mm -1 , F(000) = 2148, S = 1.017, the final R = 0.0269 and wR = 0.0644 for 13032 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). For complex 2, it belongs to triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.3761(11), b = 10.5814(13), c = 11.2972(14) , α = 85.472(2), β = 88.058(2), γ = 76.203(2)°, V = 1085.0(2) 3 , C 15 H 21.70 CoN 6 O 3.85 S 3 , M r = 502.79, Z = 2, D c = 1.539 g/cm 3 , μ(MoKα) = 1.112 mm -1 , F(000) = 519, S = 1.070, the final R = 0.0358 and wR = 0.0899 for 3466 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). Two complexes 1 and 2 are both found to be one-dimensional coordination polymers bridged by the protonated bpma ligands, which are assembled into three-dimensional supramolecular structures through the hydrogen bonding interactions and π-π packing interactions.
