title: Structure and magnetic properties of a mixed-ligand copper(II) complex.
abstract: The hydrothermal synthesis of the novel complex poly[[μ2-N(1),N(4)-bis(pyridin-3-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxamide-κ(2)N(3):N(3')](μ4-phthalato-κ(4)O(1):O(1):O(1'):O(2'))copper(II)], [Cu(C8H4O4)(C22H16N4O2)]n, is described. With the phthalate ligand connecting neighbouring Cu(II) cations, an infinite one-dimensional chain is formed. Adjacent one-dimensional chains are connected by the dicarboxamide ligand, forming an intriguing two-dimensional framework. The magnetic properties and thermal stability of this complex are also described.
