Four coordination polymers, [M3(boaba)2(4, 4′‐bipy)2(H2O)8] [M = Co (1), Ni (2), Mn (3)] and [Cu3(boaba)2(bimb)3]·4H2O (4) [H3boaba = 3, 5‐bis‐oxyacetate‐benzoic acid, 4, 4′‐bipy = 4, 4′‐bipyridine, bimb = 1, 4‐bis(imidazol‐1′‐yl)butane], were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and TG analyses. Compounds 1–3 are isostructural and crystallize in the triclinic P$\bar{1}$ space group. Their structures can be considered constructed from two‐dimensional layers, which consist of two neighboring 1D ladder chains and are further linked by intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds into a 3D supramolecular network. Compound 4 is a 3D (3, 4, 4)‐connected topology network.
In the title co-crystal, C10H8N2·C8H7NO4S, the formate group is coplanar with the pyridyl ring of the acid [dihedral angle = 6.2 (7)°], while the carboxymethylsulfanyl group makes a C—S—C—C torsion angle of 70.2 (1)° with the pyridine ring. The dihedral angle between the pyridyl rings of the 4,4′-bipyridine molecule is 27.4 (1)°. The acid and the 4,4′-bipyridine molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding via carboxylic O and pyridyl N atoms. The structure is further consolidated by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.
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.
