Poly[[diaquacobalt(II)]--2,5-dicarboxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylato--di-4-pyridylethene]

H.-R. Xing and X.-H. Li

Abstract: In the polymeric title complex, [Co(TBC)(BPE)(H₂O)₂]_n [TBC is the 2,5-dicarboxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate dianion (C₁₀H₄O₈) and BPE is 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (C₁₂H₁₀N₂)], the Co^II ion, located on an inversion centre, assumes a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The TBC and BPE ligands are located across individual inversion centres and bridge neighbouring Co^II ions to form two-dimensional polymeric sheets.
