Different geometrical arrangements in carboxylate coordination polymers of flexible dicarboxylic acid

Hexaaquacobalt(II) 2,2′-[naphthalene-1,8-diylbis(oxy)]diacetate dihydrate

“…The 5-carboxymethoxy-naphtalene1-yl(oxy)-acetate ligand can provide a dominant packing feature and it often controls the supramolecular assembly, see: Desiraju (2007). For Cd complexes with different co-ligands, see: Deka et al (2011); Li et al (2012) and for Zn complexes, see: Mondal et al (2008).…”

“…The LH2 ligand (5-carboxymethoxy-naphtalen-1-yloxy)-acetic acid) has received our attention because it can provide a dominant packing feature and it often controls the supramolecular assembly (Desiraju et al, 2007). At present, many of its metal complexes have already been reported, but most are focused on Cd complexes (Deka et al, 2011;Li et al, 2012) and Zn complexes (Li et al, 2012) with different co-ligands such as 2,2-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). In the present paper, we hydrothermally synthesized a novel coordination complex constructed by Co II , L and water molecules and determined its crystal structure (Fig.…”

Metal–organic frameworks based on naphthalene-1,5-diyldioxy-di-acetate: structures, topologies, photoluminescence and photocatalytic properties

“…4a Natarajan et al used different MOFs based on Co, Ni, and Zn as photocatalysts to degrade organic dyes. 5a Based on the situation, we synthesized a novel hemi-rigid ditopic ligand, naphthalene-1,5-diyldioxy-di-acetic acid (H 2 L), 6 in which the rigid naphthyl ring and the flexible -O-CH 2 -coexist (Scheme 1). H 2 L is chosen based on the following considerations.…”
