摘要
A cobalt(II) coordination polymer, [Co(L1)(H2L2)]路2.5H2O, 1, has been prepared via the hydrothermal reaction of cobalt(II) chloride with the novel dicarboxy-Tr枚ger鈥檚 base ligand 2,8-dicarboxy-6H,12H-5,11-methano-dibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine, H2L1, and the bis-pyrazole ligand 4,4鈥?methylenebis-(3,5-dimethylpyrazole), H2L2. The structure of 1 contains 2D (4,4) networks showing 2D 鈫?#xA0;3D parallel interpenetration, whereby adjacent 2D sheets interlock through the apertures defined by the cleft-like Tr枚ger鈥檚 base ligand, to realise an overall 3D entanglement. The interlocking also forms one-dimensional solvent filled channels which are easily disturbed on drying resulting in framework collapse. The crystal structure of H2L1 is also reported, and represents a rare example of homochiral hydrogen bonded [6,4] dia networks interpenetrated by their enantiomeric partner frameworks.
