Three
novel compounds, [Ni4(1,4-ndc)3(OH)2(H2O)2·2.5H2O]
n
(1), {[Mn2(1,4-ndc)2(OAc)](C5MIm)·0.5H2O}
n
(2), and {[Co3(1,4-ndc)4(H2O)4](C5MIm)2·2H2O}
n
(3), were hydro-/solvothermally prepared with
the corresponding acetate, 1,4-H2ndc (1,4-H2ndc = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) and different auxiliaries
such as C5MImBr (C5MImBr = 1-pentyl-3-methylimidazolium
bromide) or 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine. Compound 1 composes of one three-dimensional (3D) network, where one rare nickel
chain is constructed through NiII ions bridged by μ3-OH– groups, μ3-η2:η1 and μ2-η1:η1 carboxyl groups from 1,4-ndc2– groups as well as coordination water molecules. In compound 2, MnII ions are connected by μ4-η1:η1:η1:η1 1,4-ndc2– groups and μ2-η1:η1 acetate radicals, forming
a 3D framework. For compound 3, a [Co3(CO2)4(H2O)4] unit is observed,
which is further bridged by μ2-η1:η0:η1:η0 and
μ4-η1:η1:η1:η1 1,4-ndc2– groups and
ultimately results in forming a 3D structure. It demonstrates compounds 1–3 can be noted as pcu, lon, and the highly connected bcu topologies
by topology analysis, respectively. A thorough magnetic study of 1 reveals the metamagnetic behavior, mainly resulting from
the unique one-dimensional NiII chain. Comparatively, magnetic
analyses of 2 and 3 suggest the presence
of the antiferromagnetic interactions with the best fitting magnetic
susceptibility data for 2 (J = −0.85
cm–1 and g = 2.1) at 10–300
K.
