Abstract

Via hydrothermal synthesis, the self-assembly of Co(SCN)2 with the mixed rigid and flexible N,N′-bidentate donors, 4,4′-bpy and bimb (4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine, bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-butane), generated a novel complex: [Co(bimb)(4,4′-bpy)(SCN)2] (1), which is the first example of an extended coordination polymer incorporating these mixed neutral N,N′-bidentate ligands. The structure contains (4,4) 2D [Co4(4,4′-bpy)2(bimb)4] layers further pillared by 4,4′-bpy ligands to form an unusual 3D framework that can be classified as a 4-connected (64·82)(63·83)2(65·8) net based on three kinds of planar Co nodes. Two of these nets interpenetrate.
