Three coordination polymers, namely, {[Co(L 1 )(HBTC)]•0.5L 1 , have been synthesized based on three semi-rigid nitrogen-containing ligands (L 1 = 4,4'-(2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene)dipyridine; L 2 = 4,4'-(2,5-diethoxy-1,4-phenylene)dipyridine; L 3 = 4,4'-(2,5-dibutoxy-1,4-phenylene)dipyridine) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H 3 BTC). Both I and II are a 4-connected uninodal sql net with point symbol {4 4 •6 2 }, III is a 6-connected uninodal rob net with point symbol {4 8 •6 6 •8}. The complexes were characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 2034103 (II), 2034104 (III)), PXRD, IR spectra and TGA. Interestingly, the structural diversity of these complexes derived from the length of substituents on L n (n = 1, 2, 3) ligands.
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.
