A new metal pyrophosphate, formulated as [(H 2 O) 2 Co 2 (N 2 H 5 ) 2 (HP 2 O 7 ) 2 ] has been synthesized using wet chemistry and investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system (S.G: P ) with the following parameters (Å, °): a = 7.2957( 6), b = 7.3932(4), c = 14.7194(8), α = 85.717(4), β = 83.703(6), γ = 79.710(5). The crystal packing consists of layers parallel to bc plane. These layers are joined by strong hydrogen bonds, building up a three-dimensional infinite network. The structural analysis was coupled with Hirshfeld surface analysis to evaluate the contribution of the different intermolecular interactions to the formation of supramolecular assemblies in the solid state. This analysis revels that the main contributions are provided by the O•••H, H•••H and Co•••O interactions that represent ~85% of the total contributions to the Hirshfeld surface. Pyrophosphate group show bent eclipsed conformation which was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. Its Thermal behaviour consists mainly of the loss of hydrazine moieties and water molecules leading thus to the formation of an anhydrous cobalt diphosphate. The condensed phosphate exhibits a promising catalytic activity in the oxidation and decomposition of methylene blue dye with hydrogen peroxide under ambient conditions only for 2 hours.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
