Two novel alkaline earth coordination polymers constructed from cinnamic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline: synthesis and structural and thermal properties.

In coordination chemistry and crystal engineering, many factors influence the construction of coordination polymers and the final frameworks depend greatly on the organic ligands used. The diverse coordination modes of N-donor ligands have been employed to assemble metal-organic frameworks. Carboxylic acid ligands can deprotonate completely or partially when bonding to metal ions and can also act as donors or acceptors of hydrogen bonds; they are thus good candidates for the construction of supramolecular architectures.

A novel three-dimensional Sr coordination polymer based on benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate: hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic and thermal studies.

Coordination of the anions of benzenecarboxylic acids with metal cations leads to coordination polymers with various structural features. Very few examples of strontium-based structures have been reported. A new three-dimensional coordination polymer, namely poly[aqua(μ-benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylato)distrontium(II)], [Sr(CHO)(HO)], has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by thermal analysis, vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and IR), single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction.

catena-Poly[bis(1,3-benzo-thia-zol-3-ium) [[di-chlorido-anti-monate(III)]-di-μ-chlorido-μ-oxido-[chlorido-anti-monate(III)]-μ-chlorido]].

The title compound, {(C7H6NS)2[Sb2Cl6O]} n , contains two benzo-thia-zolidium cations and one tri-μ-chlorido-tri-chlorido-μ-oxido-di-anti-monate(III) anion. The structure of the inorganic cation may be described as as being built up from two polyhedra, i.e.

Crystal structure of cis-tetra-aqua-dichlorido-cobalt(II) sulfolane disolvate.

In the title compound, [CoCl2(H2O)4]·2C4H8SO2, the Co(II) cation is located on the twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by four water mol-ecules and two adjacent chloride ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. The cisoid angles are in the range 83.27 (5)-99.

Crystal structure of 3-carbamo-thio-yl-pyridinium thio-cyanate.

In the cation of the title salt, C6H7N2S(+)·SCN(-), the C=S bond is oriented trans with respect to the C-C=N fragment in the pyridine ring. The planes of the aromatic ring and the thio-amide fragment of the cation make a dihedral angle of 38.31 (4)°.
