1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate- and 2,2'-bipyrimidine-containing cobalt(II) coordination polymers: preparation, crystal structure, and magnetic properties.
Three new mixed-ligand cobalt(II) complexes of formula [Co2(H2O)6(bta)(bpym)]n.4nH2O (1), [Co2(H2O)2(bta)(bpym)]n (2), and [Co2(H2O)4(bta)(bpym)]n.2nH2O ( 3) (bpym = 2,2'-bipyrimidine and H 4bta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetretracaboxylic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 is a chain compound of mer-triaquacobalt(II) units which are linked through regular alternating bis-bidentate bpym and bis-monodentate bta groups. 2 and 3 are three-dimensional compounds where aquacobalt(II) ( 2) and cis-diaquacobalt(II) ( 3) entities are linked by bis-bidentate bpym ( 2 and 3) and tetrakis- ( 2 and 3) and octakis-monodentate ( 2) bta ligands. The cobalt atoms in 1- 3 exhibit somewhat distorted octahedral surroundings. Two bpym-nitrogen atoms ( 1- 3) and either two bta-oxygens ( 2) or one bta-oxygen and a water molecule ( 1 and 3) build the equatorial plane, whereas the axial positions are filled either by two water molecules ( 1) or by a bta-oxygen atom and a water molecule ( 2 and 3). The values of the cobalt-cobalt separation across the bridging bpym vary in the range 5.684(2)-5.7752(7) A, whereas those through the bta bridge cover the ranges 5.288(2)-5.7503(5) A (across the anti-syn carboxylate) and 7.715(3)-11.387(1) A (across the phenyl ring). The magnetic properties of 1- 3 have been investigated in the temperature range 1.9-290 K. They are all typical of an overall antiferromagnetic coupling with the maxima of the magnetic susceptibility at 14.5 ( 1) and 11.5 K ( 2 and 3). Although exchange pathways through bis-bidentate bpym and carboxylate-bta in different coordination modes are involved in 1- 3, their magnetic behavior is practically governed by that across the bpym bridge, the magnitude of the exchange coupling being J = -5.59(2) ( 1), -4.41(2) ( 2), and -4.49(2) ( 3) with the Hamiltonian H = - JS 1 S 2.
