J. Lu et al., COORDINATION POLYMERS OF CO(NCS)(2) WITH PYRAZINE AND 4,4'-BIPYRIDINE- SYNTHESES AND STRUCTURES, Inorganic chemistry, 36(5), 1997, pp. 923-929
Three compounds were obtained from the reactions of Co(NCS)(2) with py
razine and 4,4'-bipyridine in different solvents: Co(NCS)(2)(pyz)(2) (
1) has a 2D sheet structure, monoclinic, C2/m, a = 10.039(2) Angstrom,
b = 10.382(2) Angstrom, c = 7.190(1) Angstrom, beta = 118.64(1)degree
s, Z = 2; Co(NCS)(2)(H2O)(2) .(4,4'-bipy) 4,4'-bipy (2) has linear Co-
bipy-Co chains connected by hydrogen bonds between H2O and noncoordina
ted 4,4'-bipy molecules to form stair type sheets, triclinic, <P(1)ove
r bar>, alpha = 7.450(1) Angstrom, beta = 9.020(1) Angstrom, c 10.122(
1) Angstrom, a 107.74(1)degrees, P = 104.02(1)degrees, gamma 97.16(1)d
egrees, Z = 1; Co(NCS)(2)(4,4'-bipy)(2) .(2)(CH3CH2)(2)O (3) has ether
molecules intercalated between layers formed by Co(NCS)2 and coordina
ted 4,4'-bipyridine ligands, monoclinic, P2/c, a 11.483(2)Angstrom, b
= 11.397(3)Angstrom, c 13.609(1) Angstrom, beta = 107.55(1)degrees, Z
= 2. Compounds 2 and 3 thermally decompose to form the same products.
The identities of the decomposition products are discussed.
