title: Two sodium(I) coordination polymers constructed by the V-shaped ligands 2,2'-[isopropylidenebis(1,4-phenyleneoxy)]diacetic acid and 2,2'-[sulfonylbis(1,4-phenyleneoxy)]diacetic acid.
abstract: Two new inorganic-organic coordination polymers, namely poly[[μ6-2-(4-{1-[4-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]-1-methylethyl}phenoxy)acetato][μ4-2-(4-{1-[4-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]-1-methylethyl}phenoxy)acetato]disodium(I)], [Na2(C19H19O6)2]n, (I), and poly[hexa-μ-aqua-diaquabis{μ3-2,2'-[sulfonylbis(1,4-phenyleneoxy)]diacetato}tetrasodium(I)], [Na4(C16H14O8)2(H2O)8]n, (II), have been prepared. In (I), the asymmetric unit contains two Na(I) cations and two 2-(4-{1-[4-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]-1-methylethyl}phenoxy)acetate (HL1(-)) ligands. Each Na(I) cation is octahedrally coordinated by two ether O atoms and four carboxylate O atoms of three different HL1(-) ligands. The NaO6 polyhedra share edges to form an inorganic ribbon along the a axis. These inorganic ribbons are further connected by the HL1(-) ligands to generate two-dimensional layers parallel to the (001) plane. The structure of (II) consists of ribbons of four crystallographically independent Na atoms (three six- and one five-coordinate), which are bridged by carboxylate O atoms of 4,4'-[sulfonylbis(1,4-phenyleneoxy)]diacetate (L2(2-)) ligands and water molecules. These ribbons are interlinked by L2(2-) ligands through two different coordination modes to afford a three-dimensional network.
