A two-dimensional grid-like cobalt^II coordination polymer: poly[[diaquacobalt(II)]-di-₂-naphthalene-1-acetato]

Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₁₂H₉O₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, the Co^II atom lies on an inversion centre and has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment involving four carboxylate and two water O atoms. In the crystal structure, each naphthaleneacetate ligand coordinates two metal centres through its carboxylate O atoms, adopting a bis-monodentate mode to give rise to a two-dimensional network. A three-dimensional supramolecular network is consolidated by intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds.
