Abstract

Pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic acid (ptcH4) reacts with Co(NO3)2·6H2O in 1:2 molar ratio in aqueous pyridine (py) at room temperature to form a coordination polymer with the empirical formula, {[Co2(ptc)·(py)2·4H2O]·4H2O}n, (1). The structure consists of 2D sheets of metal-organic frameworks and infinite chains of cyclic water hexamers that join these sheets to form an overall 3D structure. Thermogravimetry, X-ray powder diffraction and X-ray structural analysis have been used in addition to infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis to characterize 1. Crystal data for 1: monoclinic space group P21, a = 7.153(4), b = 17.003(2), c = 11.060(5) Å, β = 107.207(5)°, V = 1284.9(11) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0340, wR2 = 0.0875, S = 1.028. This structure demonstrates a new mode of association of water molecules.
