Abstract
Two pillared metal phosphonates: [Mn3(4,4'-bipy)(L)2].(4,4'-bipy)0.5 (1) and [Co3(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)2(L)2].(4,4'-bipy)0.5 (2) (L = O3PCH(OH)CO2), have been synthesized hydrothermally, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction along with powder XRD, EA, IR and TGA. In compounds 1-2, Mn(II) and Co(II) ions are in octahedron coordination geometries and bridged by 2-hydroxyl(phosphono)acetate through -OH, -COO and -PO3 groups into a hybrid layer. The layers are further pillared by the coordinated 4,4-bipy into a 3D neutral framework possessing 1D parallelogram-shaped channels with approximate sizes 9 x 11 A2, which are occupied by the isolated 4,4-bipy. Solid 1 is thermally stable up to 300 degrees C under an air atmosphere and displays a purple-blue luminescence. The results of magnetic measurement indicate solid 1 is a metamagnet.
