Abstract

A novel cobalt(ll)-organic framework, [Co2(OH)(3,4-PBC) 3]n (I), has been acquired by the reaction of CoO with an unsymmetrical pyridylbenzoate ligand, 3-pyrid-4-ylbenzoic acid (3,4-PBC). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that it is comprised of [Co II43-OH)2] clusters linked by the unsymmetrical ligand 3,4-PBC, forming a novel helical double-layered metal-organic architecture. A significant overall antiferromagnetic behavior has been observed for this compound.
