One rutile Co(II) coordinated polymer with bifunctional ligand

Abstract One new 2-fold interpenetrating three-dimensional (3D) compound with rutile {4·6 2 } 2 {4 2 ·6 10 ·8 3 } topology, [Co 2 (L) 2 ]·DMF·6H 2 O ( 1 ) (H 2 L = 4,4′-((4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)azanediyl)dibenzoic acid, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition. The compound 1 was characterized by IR spectra, thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, UV–Visible spectra of compound 1 are also depicted.
