Background: Anxiety and depression are critical mental health problems among persons with coronary heart disease (CHD). The range of symptoms is an important stressor for adverse cardiovascular events, and these symptoms can be involved in various ways during the course of CHD. However, the characteristics and mechanisms of comorbidity between the two mental states from the viewpoint of symptom interactions in patients with CHD remain unclear.

The structures of compounds 1-4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and further characterized by elemental analyses, infrared (IR) spectra, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses, and thermogravimetric analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 display three-dimensional 2-fold interpenetrating frameworks, whereas compounds 3 and 4 exhibit two-dimensional layer structures.
