The hydrothermal reactions of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, or p-toluic acid, 4,4′-bipyridine, with transition metal chlorides in basified solvent gave rise to three coordination polymers, [Ni2(3,5-DNBC)4(4,4′-bpy)2(H2O)] (1), [Co(3,5-DNBC)2(4,4′-bpy)2] (2), [Co3(4,4′-bpy)(p-ToC)6] (3), and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and variable-temperature magnetic measurements. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, P21/c space group, the structure determination reveals that 1 has a 2D network based on lozenge grids, where each NiII is in 4O + 2N coordination mode. Compound 2 is also monoclinic system, P2/c space group, and the X-ray structural analysis shows that 2 also has a 2D network but based on rectangular grids with the CoII atom in a CoN2O4 environment. Compound 3 crystallizes in the triclinic system, P1¯ space group, and polymerizes through nitrogen and oxygen atoms giving 1D chains with the CoII(1) atom in a CoO6 environment and CoII(2) is in N + 4O coordination mode. In good agreement with the expected behavior, magnetic susceptibility measurements show weak ferromagnetic interactions for 1 and 3, whereas compound 2 exhibits moderate antiferromagnetic coupling.
Graphical abstractUnder hydrothermal conditions, three one-dimensional and two-dimensional coordination polymers of NiII and CoII have been obtained by 4,4′-bipyridine and benzoic acid derivatives, and the magnetic properties of these three compounds are discussed and compared.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
