Abstract
The preparation, structural characterization and magnetic investigation of three new cobalt(II) complexes of formula [Co2(bta)(H2O)8]n·4nH2O (1 and 2) and [Co2(bta)(H2O)8]n·2nH2O (3) (H4bta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) are reported. The crystal structures of 1−3 consist of neutral square-grids of high-spin cobalt(II) ions with the fully deprotonated bta4− anion acting as a 4-fold connector. The interpenetration of two of these layers in 3 leads to a three-dimensional network. Each cobalt atom in 1−3 is six-coordinated with two carboxylate-oxygen atoms from two bta ligands in trans positions and four water molecules building somewhat distorted octahedral surroundings. Extensive hydrogen bonding involving the noncoordinated carboxylate-oxygens and the coordinated and crystallization water molecules afford three-dimensional supramolecular networks in all three compounds. The values of the intralayer cobalt−cobalt separations through cis- and trans-coordinated carboxylate groups are 6.6831(16) and 1...
