Abstract

[Co2(L1)2(NCS)4]·4MeOH 1, [Co(L2)2(H2O)2](Sal)2·4H2O (Sal = salicylate) 2 were obtained from self-assembly of the cobalt salts with bis(N-benzimidazolyl)methane (L1), and bis(N-benzimidazolyl)methane (L2), and their structures were characterized by IR and X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 exhibits a two-dimensional grid structure, whereas complex 2 is a coordination polymer having a one-dimensional linear chain structure. The grid in 1 lies parallel to the crystallographic ab plane and exhibits intra-grid M–M separations of 10.508 × 10.508 Å. Hydrogen bonds hold the cationic chains in 2 together leading to a three-dimensional network structure.
