摘要
A novel 2D cobalt(II) coordination polymer comprising left- and right-handed helical chains, {[H2bpp][Co2(bpp)2(Hbtec)2(H2O)4]路(H2O)5}n (1) (bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)-propane and H4btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate), was prepared under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. Complex 1 provides suitable hydrophilic channel in which lattice water molecules accumulate, forming a (H2O)5 helicate, stabilized by anchoring to the host structure through hydrogen-bonding interactions involving alternating water molecules and the carboxylate oxygen atoms of Hbtec3鈭?/sup> ligands.
