Two-Dimensional Coordination Polymers Constructed Using, Simultaneously, Linear and Angular Spacers and Cobalt(II) Nodes. New Examples of Networks of Single-Ion Magnets
Two novel bidimensional coordination polymers, [Co(azbbpy)(4,4'-bipy)(0.5)(DMF)(NCS)(2)]center dot MeOH (1) and [Co(azbbpy)(bpe)(0.5)(DMF)(NCS)(2)]center dot 0.25H(2)O (2), resulted from the assembling of cobalt(II) ions by 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)azulene, using either 4,4'-bipyridyl or 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene as neutral spacers. The cobalt(II) nodes in 1 and 2 act as single-ion magnets (SIMs).
