One rutile Co(II) coordinated polymer with bifunctional ligand

One new 2-fold interpenetrating three-dimensional (3D) compound with rutile {4·62}2{42·610·83} topology, [Co2(L)2]·DMF·6H2O (1) (H2L = 4,4′-((4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)azanediyl)dibenzoic acid, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition. The compound 1 was characterized by IR spectra, thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, UV–Visible spectra of compound 1 are also depicted.
