Syntheses and Characterizations of Two New Coordination Polymers Based on Dicarboxylate and Nitrogen-contained Mixed Ligands

Two new carboxylate coordination polymers [Ni(2,3’-oba)(bib)]n] and [Mn(2,4’-oba)(bib)0.5]n(2,3’-oba = 2-(3-carboxyphenoxy)benzoic acid,2,4’-oba = 2-(4-carboxyphenoxy) ben-zoic acid and bib = 1,4-bis(2-methyl-imidazol-yl)butane) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis,IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies.Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic,space group P21/c,while compound 2 in the triclinic space group P.Compound 1 displays a one-dimensional ladder-like chain.The dinuclear paddle-wheel secondary building units(SBUs) constructed by four 2,4’-oba2-ligands in compound 2 are linked by bib into a 2D(4,4) layer structure.
