Synthesis, characterization and magnetic properties of supramolecular metal–organic complexes constructed from flexible–rigid mixed ligands

Abstract

Two new supramolecular metal-organic complexes have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Complex 1 exhibits a three-dimensional supramolecular network, constructed from [Co 2 (H 3 BPTC) 2 (phen) 2 ] (H 4 BPTC = 3,3 0 4,4 0 -benzophenone tetracarboxylate acid, phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline) discrete units. Complex 2 similarly exhibits discrete [Cu 2 (DPA) 2 (bipy) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] (DPA = 1,1 0 -biphenyl-2,2 0 -dicarboxylate acid, bipy = 2,2 0 -bipyridine)

Triaqua-1κO,2κ2 O-bis(2,2′-bipyridine)-1κ2 N,N′;2κ2 N,N′-chlorido-1κCl-μ-terephthalato-1:2κ2 O 1:O 4-dicopper(II) nitrate monohydrate
