Abstract

Two complexes based on isophthalic acid ligand were successfully synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 exhibits a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. It is assembled from L3− ligands to form a 2D layer with the water ligands orientated above and below each layer. Adjacent layers are connected through hydrogen bonding between carboxylic groups and coordinated, free water molecules to generate a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The structure of compound 2 consists of tetranuclear cobalt clusters which were linked by the acid ligands to generate a layered structure. Neighboring layers are further connected through bpp ligands to form a three-dimensional structure. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data show that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit antiferromagnetic interactions.
