Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Materials Containing Porous Frameworks: Synthesis, Characterization, and Magnetic Properties of the Open Framework Solids [{Co(4,4-Bipy)}V2O6] and [{Co2(4,4-Bipy)3(H2O)2} V4O12]·2H2O

Synthesis of two novel porous framework hybrid materials, [Co(4,4ʹ-bipy)V2O6] (1) and [{Co2(4,4ʹ-bipy)3(H2O)2}V4O12]· 2H2O (2), and their characterization by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, elemental analysis, manganometric titration, surface area measurement, bond valence sum calculations, temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurement, and single-crystal X-ray structure analyses is described. Both compounds exhibit remarkable thermal stability. The threedimensional structures of 1 and 2 are composed of fused {VO4} motifs linked by {Co(4,4ʹ-bipy)} coordination polymers. The structure of 1 is comprised of {CoO3N2} trigonal bipyramids, linked in two dimensions by corner-sharing {VO4} tetrahedra and in the third dimension by the 4,4ʹ-bipyridine ligands. In the bimetallic layers, the cobalt centers are bridged alternately by {VO4} and {V2O7} units, generating alternating eight-membered {Co2V2O4} and twelve-membered {Co2V4O6} rings. The crystal structure of 2 consists of a novel three-dimensional network containing two types of octahedral Co2+ ions linked by a {V2O7} group. The cobalt centers in 2 are linked in three dimensions by bridging 4,4ʹ-bipyridine ligands. The structure contains rather large channels parallel to the c-axis. A disordered water molecule of crystallization is present in the channels.
