Cobalt phosphonates based on 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)naphthalen-1-yl)phosphonic acid

Abstract

The first examples of metal phosphonates based on 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)naphthanen-1-yl)phosphonic acid (4-cnppH2) are reported, namely, Co(4-cnpp) (1), Co2(4-cnpp)2(dptz) (2) and Co2(4-cnpp)2(4,4′-bpy)(H2O) (3) (dptz = 3,6-di(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine). The cobalt atoms are four-coordinated with distorted tetrahedral geometries in both 1 and 2, while five-coordinated with a distorted trigonal bipyramidal environment in compound 3. Compound 1 shows a layer structure in which the inorganic layers made up of edge-sharing {CoNO3} dimers and {PO3C} linkages are separated by the organic groups of the 4-cnpp2− ligands. Compound 2 displays a different type of layer structure, where the ladder-like chains composed of corner-sharing {CoNO3} and {PO3C} tetrahedra are connected by dptz ligands with the organic groups of the 4-cnpp2− ligands pendent on the two sides of the layer. In 3, similar ladder-like chains of corner-sharing {CoNO4} and {PO3C} are also found except that the cobalt atoms within the chain are further bridged by a coordinated water molecule. The chains are cross-linked by 4,4′-bpy, leading to a three-dimensional open-framework structure. Magnetic studies reveal that dominant antiferromagnetic interactions are mediated between the Co(II) ions in all three cases.
