Abstract

Two complexes, [Co(H2pimdc)2(H2O)2] · 2DMF (1) and [Co(H2pimca)2(H2O)2] · 4H2O (2), have been designed, synthesized, and characterized (X-ray single crystal analysis, thermal analysis, electrochemical analysis, and infrared spectrum) based on the imidazole ligand [H3pimdc = 2-propyl-4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid]. Both compounds have 3-D hydrogen-bonding networks. Because of different coordination of water, 1 forms a layer-like geometry via hydrogen bonds, but 2 forms a fishingnet-like latticed geometry via hydrogen bonds.
