Structural investigation of one- and two-dimensional coordination polymers based on cobalt-bis(dioxolene) units and 1-hydroxy-1,2,4,5-tetrakis(pyridin-4-yl)cyclohexane

Abstract

The combination of cobalt, 3,5-di-tert-butyl­dioxolene (3,5-dbdiox) and 1-hy­­droxy-1,2,4,5-tetra­kis­(pyridin-4-yl)cyclo­hexane (tpch) yields two coordination polymers with different connectivities, i.e. a one-dimensional zigzag chain and a two-dimensional sheet. Poly[[bis­(3,5-di-tert-butyl­benzene-1,2-diolato)bis(1,5-di-tert-butyl-4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl-3-olato)­[μ4-1-hy­droxy-1,2,4,5-tetra­kis­(pyri­din-4-yl)cyclo­hexa­ne]cobalt(III)]–ethanol–water 1/7/5], {[Co2(C14H20O2)4(C26H24N4O)]·7C2H5OH·5H2O}n or {[Co2(3,5-dbdiox)4(tpch)}·7EtOH·5H2O}n, is the second structurally characterized example of a two-dimensional co­ordination polymer based on linked {Co(3,5-dbdiox)2} units.
