Two Co(II) coordination polymers, namely [Co(L)Cl](1) and [Co(L)(CH3COO)](2), {HL = 3,5-di(4H-1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)benzoic acid}, were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.

1 INTRODUCTION

Coordination polymers (CPs) or organic-inorga- nic hybrid materials, constructed by inorganic secondary building units (SBUs) and organic bridging ligands, have taken wide attention in recent years owing to their intriguing structural as well as distinctive properties such as catalytic, lumine- scence, gas adsorption, and magnetism[1–7]. The physicochemical properties of the coordination polymers are mainly determined by the structural features like porosities, dimensionalities, pore shapes, pore sizes, and surface areas[8–13]. It is well known that a reasonable selection of organic ligands may lead to desired coordination networks. The most widely used building ligands are benzenecarb- oxylic acids and N-containing heterocyclic com- pounds in the construction of CPs[14–19]. More recently, bifunctional ligands containing carboxy- late groups and nitrogen donors have attracted great interests[20–25]. As an ideal bifunctional ligand, 3,5-di(4H-1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)benzoic acid (HL) can adopt versatile coordination modes, resulting in diverse architectures. Unfortunately, only limited HL-based CPs so far have been reported[26–28]. Most of these CPs exhibit 2layer structures. Even aromatic multicarboxylic acids were used as mixed ligands. On the other hand, only a few properties have been studied about these CPs. Hence, it is still necessary to construct more CPs of HL as well as explore their novel properties. With these consi- derations in mind, we would like to report herein the syntheses and structures of two new 2Co(II) CPs based on HL, [Co(L)Cl](1) and [Co(L)(CH3COO)](2). The magnetic properties of complex 1 also have been investigated.

2 EXPERIMENTAL

All chemicals and solvents used were purchased commercially and used without further purification. HL was prepared by the literature method[27]. Elemental analyses (C, H, N) were performed with a Flash 1112 elemental analyzer. Infrared spectra for solid samples were recorded on a Nicolet Avatar- 360 FTIR spectrometer in the 400～4000 cm–1region. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data were collected on a Bruker AXS D8-Advanced X-ray powder diffractometer with Cu-radiation (= 1.5460 ?). Variable-temperature magnetic suscepti- bility was performed on a MPMSXL-7 SQUID magnetometer.

2. 1 Syntheses of compounds 1 and 2

Compound 1 A mixture of CoCl2·6H2O (0.1 mmol, 23.8 mg), HL (0.1 mmol, 25.6 mg), and H2O (10 mL) was sealed in a 25 mL Teflon-lined stainless-steel vessel. The mixture was heated at 170 ℃ for 4 days and then slowly cooled down to room temperature at a rate of 3 ℃/h. Red block crystals of 1 were obtained in 43% yield based on Co(II). Anal.

2. 2 X-ray structure determination

X-ray diffractions were collected on a Bruker SMART APEX II CCD diffractometer with a gra- phite-monochromated Moradiation (= 0.71073 ?) at room temperature. A total of 2312 reflections were collected for 1, of which 701 (int= 0.0758) independent reflections were collected at 296(2) K. A total of 5239 reflections were collected at 296(2) K for 2, of which 752 (int= 0.0626) were indepen- dent. The absorption corrections were based on multiple and symmetry-equivalent reflections in the data set using the SADABS program. The structures were solved by direct methods with SHELXS-97[29]and refined by the least-squares methods with SHELXL-97 program[30]. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically, and the hydrogen atoms were added to their calculated positions and refined using a riding model. The selected bond lengths and bond angles are listed in Table 1.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3. 1 Crystal structure description

Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space group. The fundamental unit of 1 contains one Co(II) ion, one L–ligand, and one coordinated Cl–ion. As shown in Fig. 1a, the Co(II) ion is six-coordinated and surrounded by four nitrogen atoms from four individual L–ligands and two Cl–ions, giving a slightly distorted octahedron geometry with Co–N bond distance of 2.115 (4) ? and the Co–Cl bond length of 2.395(4) ?. Each Cl–ion acts as a2-bridging ligand to link two Co(II) atoms to give rise to an infinite 1(CoCl)chain along theaxis. Neighboring chains are further linked by L–ligands in a4-1:1:1:1mode to furnish a 2layer structure (Fig. 1b). Interestingly, in each layer, the uncoordinated carboxyl groups of L–are all out of the layer as dangling arms (Fig. 1c), by which adjacent layers are threaded each other, leading to an unusual 2→ 3polythreading framework[31](Fig. 1d).

Complex 2 has a similar 2→3polythreading framework to that of complex 1 except that CH3COO–ions instead of Cl–ions as bridging ligands to construct the 1chain. Complex 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group. There exist one Co(II) ion, one L–anion, and one coordinated CH3COO–ion in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 2a). The Co(II) atom also shows a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from four L–anions and two oxygen atoms from two CH3COO–ions. The bond lengths of Co–N and Co–O are 2.1314(14) and 2.0496(17) ?, respectively. The Co–N bond length is slightly longer than that in complex 1, which may be caused by the larger space steric hindrance of CH3COO–ion. In complex 2, CH3COO–ions act as a2-bridging ligand to link Co(II) atoms into 1chains, then the chains are further connected by L–ligands to furnish 2layers (Fig. 2b). The adjacent layers are threaded each other by uncoordinated carboxyl groups of L–(Fig. 2c) to give the final 2→ 3polythreading framework (Fig. 2d).

3. 2 Powder X-ray diffraction

Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) experiments at room temperature were carried out to investigate the purities of compounds 1 and 2 (Fig. 3). The main peaks observed match well with the simulated ones, indicating the phase purities of the as-synthesized samples.

3. 3 Magnetic property of 1

Temperature dependent magnetic measurement of 1 was measured from 1.8 to 300 K in a magnetic field of 1000 Oe (Fig. 4a). The χTvalue of 2.06 cm3×K×mol–1at room temperature is much higher than the expected spin-only value of 1.875 cm3×K×mol–1for an uncoupled Co(II) (= 3/2,= 2.0), which can be attributed to spin-orbital coupling interaction. Upon cooling, theχTvalue decreases to reach a value of about 0.13 cm3/mol K at 1.8 K, indicating an antiferromagnetic interaction between the Co(II) cations. As shown in Fig. 4b, The 1/χdata above 50 K follow the Curie-Weiss law well with the Curie constantand Weiss constantof 0.9764 cm3×K×mol-1and –59.8034 K, respectively, indicating weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the Co(II) centers[32]. Since the (CoCl)chain is the dominant magnetic unit, an infinite chain model with Eq. 1 is used to fit the experi- mental magnetic susceptibilities of 1. The best fitting parameters are= 2.17,= –6.12 cm–1,= –0.03 cm–1, and= 1.97 × 10–3. The largervalue may be caused by the orbital contributions[33]. Thevalue shows weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the intrachain neighboring Co(II) ions.

4 CONCLUSION

In summary, two new Co(II) CPs based on a triazole-carboxyl-bifunctional ligand have been hydrothermally synthesized, which perform unusual 2→3polythreading frameworks. The magnetic analysis shows the antiferromagnetic interactions between the Co(II) ions in compound 1. Further studies on the design and syntheses of other transition metal ions based CPs with HL are in progress.
