A Carboxylate-bridged Co(Ⅱ) Layer Complex: Synthesis,Structure and Magnetic Property

A 2D coordination polymer, [Co(NPA)(H_2 O)_2]_n(1, H_2 NPA = 3-nitrophthalic acid), has been synthesized by solvothermal method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 7.2261(2), b = 14.6450(5), c = 19.6671(7) ?, V = 2081.31(11) ?~3, Z = 8, C_8 H_7 CoNO_8, M_r = 304.08, D_c = 1.941 mg/m~3, μ = 1.686 mm~(-1), S = 1.054, F(000) = 1224, the final R = 0.0248 and wR = 0.0603 for 1834 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). The crystal structural analysis demonstrates that the Co(Ⅱ) ions in 1 are linked by single and double μ_2-1,3-bridging carboxylate bridges, forming a 2D layer structure. Moreover, magnetic property of 1 was also discussed.
