| Abstract. By employing one bridging ligand, 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (2,5-pda2-), in the presence or absence of another bridging ligand, 4,4¢-bipyridine (4,4¢-bpy), one one-dimensional (1D) {[Co2(2,5-pda)(2,5-Hpda)2(4,4¢-bpy)(H2O)3]·6H2O}¥ (1) and two two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers, {[Cu3(2,5-pda)3(H2O)3]·6H2O}¥ (2) and {[Co(2,5-pda)(H2O)]·2H2O}¥ (3) were synthesized. Complexes 2 and 3 are characterized as concomitant polymorphs from a one-pot reaction at ambient temperature. A comparison of the coordination geometries of all neutral and anionic coordination polymers containing {Mx(2,5-pda)y(H2O)z}¥ available to date is presented. |
