Assembly of a two-dimensional oxalate-bridged heterometallic Co(II)(3)Cr(III)(2) coordination polymer.
Reaction of CoCl(2).4H(2)O with Ag(3)[Cr(ox)(3)] (3 : 2 mol/mol) in methanol gives rise to an oxalate-bridged complex [Co(MeOH)(2)](3)[Cr(ox)(3)](2).6MeOH that consists of a rare cloverleaf-like layered structure (12,3-net). Ferromagnetic coupling is operative between the adjacent metal ions through the oxalate bridges.
