Abstract
The synthesis and crystal structures of ([M(4,4′ -bipyridine)2(NO3)2]·2p -nitroaniline)n, M=Co, 1, Ni, 2, Zn, 3, are described. 1, 2 and 3 crystallize in the form of compounds that can be described as interpenetrating covalent and noncovalent networks. Analysis of the crystal packing in these compounds reveals that the p-nitroaniline molecules form a noncovalent network that is complementary from a topological perspective with [M(4,4′ -bipyridine)2(NO3)2] networks, which exist as square grids. These structures are interpreted in the broader perspective of crystal engineering strategies and development of new hybrid materials.
