Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Co(II) and Mn(II) Complexes with 2,4′Biphenyldicarboxylic Acid and Imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline Ligands

Two complexes constructed with 2,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid(2,4′-H2bpdc),1,10-phenanthroline derivative ligands and metallic salts,namely,{[Co(2,4′-bpdc)(L)(H2O)]·H2O}n(1),[Mn(2,4′-bpdc)(L)(H2O)]n(2)(L= imidazo [4,5-f] [1,10]phenanthroline) were synthesized under hydrothermal reaction.The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis,single crystal X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis.Complex 1 has a 1D chain structure.Complex 2 forms a one-dimensional double-chain structure.They both further linked into a three-dimensional net structure via the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π interactions.CCDC: 934719,1;934720,2.
