Hydrothermal reaction between cobalt(II) nitrate and 3,5-pyridinedicarboxyl
ic acid in the presence of NaOAc and NaCl gave a 3D cobalt(II)-coordination
polymer, Co(3,5-pyridinedicarboxylato)(H2O) (1). X-ray structure determina
tion showed that compound 1 has a 3-D infinite network based on cobalt-carb
oxylate building blocks. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
