ABSTRACT
The title coordination polymer [Ni3(L)2(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)4]n (1) (H3L = N-[(3-pyridine)-sulfonyl]aspartate) has been synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, and elemental analysis. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that polymer 1 belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Fdd2, with a = 12.9791(12) Å, b = 51.571(4) Å, c = 11.3833(11) Å, V = 7619.3(12) Å3. The racemization of chiral ligands occurs at high temperature in polymer 1. The 4,4′-bipy bridges two adjacent Ni2+ to form a three-dimensional structure of polymer 1.Furthermore, magnetic measurements show that there are weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent Ni2+ in polymer 1.
