Layered metal succinate/bis(4-pyridylmethyl)piperazine coordination polymers featuring mutual inclined interpenetration

Isomorphous coordination polymers with formulation [M(suc)(bpmp)(H2O)2]n (M = Co, Ni, Cu; suc = succinate, bpmp = bis(4-pyridylmethyl)piperazine) have been prepared and structurally characterized. These possess [M(suc)(bpmp)(H2O)2]n mutually inclined interpenetrated 2D layer motifs.
