Abstract:
A layered cobalt coordination polymer containing both 4-(2-carboxyl-atoeth-yl)benzoate (ceb) and 1,4-bis-(3-pyridyl-meth-yl)piperazine (3-bpmp) ligands, [Co(C10H8O4)(C16H20N4)(H2O)2] n or [Co(ceb)(3-bpmp)(H2O)2] n , was isolated and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Chain-like [Co(ceb)(H2O)2] n units are oriented parallel to [101]. These are connected into (4,4)-grid coordination polymer layers by tethering 3-bpmp ligands. The layer motifs stack in an AAA pattern mediated by O-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the aqua ligands in one layer and 3-bpmp piperazinyl N atoms in the abutting layer.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
