Structure and magnetism of the ladder-like coordination polymer Co 3(dca)2(nic)4(H2O) 8·2H2O ]dca = dicyanamide anion, N(CN) 2-; Nic = nicotinate anion[

Abstract

The structure of the title complex has ladder-like 1D nets containing bridging μ-dca anions and both bridging and terminal nic anions; no long-range magnetic ordering is observed. © 2002 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
