Abstract

Two Co(II) complexes, [Co(INAIP)(dib)]·4H2O and [Co(INAIP)(phen)(H2O)]·H2O have been synthesized by the reaction of 5-(isonicotinamido)isophthalic acid (H2INAIP) and CoSO4·7H2O, as well as N-donor ligands, namely 1,4-di(1-imidazolyl)benzene (dib) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) under hydrothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that [Co(INAIP)(dib)]·4H2O has a two-dimensional (2D) double-layer network structure with a (4, 4) topology, while [Co(INAIP)(phen)(H2O)]·H2O displays a one-dimensional chain structure, extending to a 2D net through the π–π interactions. In addition, the photoluminescence and degradation of methyl orange in a Fenton-like process using the complexes as catalysts were investigated.
