“…Noteworthy examples of these polymers are the interpenetrating (10,3) 3-D net [Na 3 Cd 5 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 6 X] (X = Cl, Br), [Ni 7 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 4 (OH) 6 (H 2 O) 3 ]·7H 2 O, which has remarkable void volumes and can reversibly re-absorb water molecules, Ni 7 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·2H 2 O, the 3-D succinato-pillared coordination polymers Mn 5 (OH) 2 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 4 and Cd 3 (OH) 2 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 2 , the 3-D rare earth polymer [Pr(H 2 O)] 2 [C 4 H 4 O 4 ] 3 ·H 2 O, and an effective Lewis acid catalyst Sc 2 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 2.5 (OH) . By introduction of some organic chelate ligands, several lower dimensional structures have also been found. , We have recently prepared a new 2-D 4,8 2 network Cu 4 (pmo) 4 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 2 ·H 2 O (Hpmo = 2-pyridinemethanol) . Here, we describe the crystal structures of molecular zippers Co(dmbpy)(H 2 O) 2 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) (dmbpy = 4,4‘-dimethyl-2,2‘-bipyridine, C 4 H 4 O 4 = succinate; 1 ) and two isomorphous 2-D grid coordination polymers M(dpdo)(H 2 O) 2 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) (M = Zn ( 2 ) or Mn ( 3 ), dpdo = 4,4‘-dipyridyl N , N ‘-dioxide).…”
