Abstract
AbstractThe linear trinuclear complex [Co3(dpa)2(Hdpa)2(1‐MeIm)2(H2O)2] (1) and the two‐dimensional coordination polymer [Co2(dpa)2(pyz)]n (2; H2dpa = diphenic acid, 1‐MeIm = 1‐methylimidazole, pyz = pyrazine) exemplify the versatile coordination chemistry of diphenic acid in conjunction with N‐donor ligands. Complex 1 consists of a discrete arrangement of three CoII atoms bridged by four diphenate ligands, whereas complex 2 contains a network of dinuclear CoII units bridged by two diphenate ligands to form double‐helical chains, which are further connected via pyrazine molecules into two‐dimensional sheets. A magnetochemical analysis of these complexes reveals both strong ligand field effects on the CoII 4F free ion ground state and ferro‐ and antiferromagnetic exchange contributions mediated by the dpa ligands.
