From dissymmetrical mononuclear entities to centrosymmetrical heterotrinuclear complex with 2D supramolecular structure: synthesis, characterization, crystal structure, and magnetic properties

Crystal structure of 3-pyrid-4-ylbenzoic acid, C12H9NO2

“…Weak intermolecular interactions play an important role in the formation of supramolecular structures and crystal engineering [1][2][3]. Especially those realized by hydrogen bonding afield with arapid growth due to their special physical properties and potential application in functional materials [4][5].…”

Crystal structure of tetraaqua-bis(3-(3-acrylato)pyridyl-N)cobalt(II), Co(H2O)4(C8H6O2N)2

“…Weak intermolecular interactions play an important role in the formation of supramolecular structures and [1][2][3]. On account of possessing an appropriate angle (120°) and along arm between coordination sites, 3-(3-pyridyl)acrylic acid (H(3-PYA)) as building blocks in both conducting molecular materials and supramolecular chemistryhas been paid increasing attention.…”

“…Up to now, several coordination compounds of H(3-PYA) of M(II) have been synthesized and reported [4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, if the H(3-PYA) coordinate only in a monodentate fashion, the possibility of participating in ahydrogen-bonding network arises, which can be observed in Co(3-PYA) 2(H2O)4 ·H 2 O, Mn(3-PYA)2(H2O)4 and Zn(3-PYA) 2 (H 2 O) 4 [10,11]. In the title compound, the asymmetric structure unit consists of a half cobalt ion, one 3-PYA ligand and two coordinated water molecules.…”

Crystal structure of tetraaqua-bis(3-(3-acrylato)pyridyl-N)zinc(II), Zn(H2O)4(C8H6O2N)2

“…Weak intermolecular interactions play an important role in the formation of supramolecular structuresa nd crystal engineering [1][2][3], whereas the hydrogen bonding, as at ype of weak inter molecular interactions, which has attracted most interest due to its relative strength and directional properties in generating agreat variety of networks with variable cavities or channels. Within the crystal structure of title compound, the zinc atom located on the center of symmetry is coordinated by two Natoms from two 3- …”
