title: Polytypism, homochirality, interpenetration, and hydrogen-bonding in transition metal (Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II)) 5-hydroxyisophthalate coordination polymers containing 4,4'-bipyridyl.
abstract: We report the synthesis of five coordination polymers of divalent transition metals combined with 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid (HIP) and 4,4'-bipyridyl (bipy). Mn forms two polytypic two-dimensional coordination polymers, Mn(HIP)(bipy).3H(2)O and Mn(HIP)(bipy).(1/4)bipy.2H(2)O (I and II, with ABAB and ABC stacking sequences, respectively); Ni forms a chiral hexagonal three-dimensional coordination polymer with two interpenetrating trigonal sublattices exhibiting the "dual quartz" topology, Ni(HIP)(bipy)(H(2)O) (III); Cu forms a one-dimensional coordination polymer containing arrays of infinite hydrogen-bonded molecular ribbons, Cu(HIP)(2)(bipy) (IV); and Zn forms a two-dimensional coordination polymer with a stair-stepped layered structure, Zn(2)(HIP)(2)(bipy)(H(2)O)(2).H(2)O (V). The M-HIP-M connections are perpendicular to the M-bipy-M connections in all structures where they are present.
