Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of {[Co5(INA)3(HCOO)7(DMF)(H2O)]·2DMF·4H2O}∞ (INA– = the anion of isonicotinic acid) denoted as Co5‐INA·2DMF·4H2O is reported. The compound was isolated from the reaction of Co(NO3)2·6H2O with HINA in the presence of HCOOH in N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) at 100 °C. It exhibits a rigid 3‐D porous structure based on Co5 repeating units which are linked through carboxylate ligands (from HCOO– and INA–) to form an infinite rod‐shaped secondary building unit (SBU). The rods are connected through isonicotinate ligands to produce a unique (3,3,4,4,4‐coordinated) 5‐nodal 3D network with point symbol (4.5.6.72.9)(4.5.62.7.8)(4.5.7)2(5.62.73). Gas sorption studies revealed that Co5‐INA displays a microporous structure with BET area 264.5 m2 g–1 and CO2 uptake of 1.96/1.29 mmol·g–1 at 273/298 K (1 bar), respectively. Magnetism studies revealed that Co5‐INA displays spin canting behavior with a spin glass relaxation process at ca. 5.0 K.
