Abstract

The preparation and crystal structures of [Cu(1,3-bdc)(py)3].11/2 H2O (1), [Cu(1,3-bdc)(py)3].H2O.CH3OH (2), [Co(1,3-bdc)(py)3(H2O)] (3), [Co(1,3-bdc)(py)3(CH3OH)].H2O (4), [Cu(1,3-bdc)(py)2] (5), [Co(1,3-bdc)(CH3OH)4] (6) and [Ni(1,3-bdc)(CH3OH)4] (7) are described (1,3-bdc=1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid; py=pyridine). 1-4 form straight-chain 1-D coordination polymers with interdigitated pyridyl ligands that are engaged in C-H···π hydrogen bonds. 6 and 7 form similar 1-D polymeric chains, but the smaller methanol ligands allow the bdc groups to stack to form π···π interactions. 5 forms a rectangular 2-D grid structure with insufficient space for guest inclusion.
