Abstract

A 3-D porous coordination polymer of Cu(II) has been synthesized using two different organic bridging ligands, pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate (pydc) and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe). Here, pydc and bpe connect two adjacent Cu(II) centers, resulting in a rectangular grid-like 2-D sheet with grid dimensions 10.058 × 15.258 Å. The channels are formed when 2-D networks running along the b-axis which are filled by solvent water molecules. The stability of porous networks, after removal of guest water molecules is confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray powder diffraction technique. The low temperature magnetic study has been carried out, which indicates the presence of weak antiferromagnetic coupling with J = −0.59 cm−1.
