Cobalt, nickel, copper and cadmium coordination polymers containing the bis(1,2,4-triazolyl)methane ligand

摘要

Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) coordination polymers containing the flexible ditopic bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane ligand (Btm) have been prepared by reaction of equimolar quantities of the corresponding cobalt, nickel, copper and cadmium salts in EtOH solution. Structure solution and refinement of polycrystalline materials were performed by powder diffraction technique (XRPD), using conventional laboratory data. The results show that architecturally different coordination polymers were obtained depending on the counter-ion employed. The XRPD results show also that non-covalent interactions are driving forces for the occurrence of different structures.
