In the title compound, [Co(C9H5O6)2(C10H8N2)]n, the consists of one Co2+ ion with 2, one mono-deprotonated 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid anion and one-half of a 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) molecule, in which two N and two C atoms have 2. In the the Co2+ centre is coordinated by four O atoms from two bidentate carboxylate groups of two anions and two N atoms of two 4,4′-bipy molecules, resulting in infinite chains propagating in [010]. The cobalt coordination is distorted trans-CoO4N2 octahedral and interchain O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds complete the structure.

Solid Co(CH3COO)2.4H2O (1 mmol, 0.245 g) was added to an aqueous solution (25 ml) of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (2 mmol, 0.420 g) and 4,4'-bipyridine (1 mmol, 0.156 g). The mixture was refluxed for two hours at 373 K. The solution was filtered, and the filtrate was kept at room temperature. After ten days, purple blocks of (I) were obtained.
The O-bound H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and refined as riding in their as-found relative positions with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H = 0.93Å) and refined as riding, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Recently, many efforts in coordination chemistry and crystal engineering have been devoted to the construction of metal-organic coordination polymers (MOCPs) employing both coordination bonds and/or hydrogen bonds, due to their appropriate strength and directionality (Feller et al. 2007). Dual-ligand or multidentate organic ligands are usually engaged in the construction of MOCPs, among which carboxylates and N,N-bidentate ligands are all the simplest connectors potentially able to bridge metal ions (Brown et al. 2008). Herein, we report the title compound (I) containing organic dual-ligands (Fig. 1).
The structure of (I) presents a one-dimensional infinite chain (Fig.2), in which the Co2+ centre (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by four O atoms from two bidentate carboxylate groups of two 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid anions, two N atoms of two 4,4'-bipyridine molecules. The Co2+ caion resides in a distorted octahedral configuration. In the equatorial plane, it is chelted by four carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1, O2 and their symmetry equivalents) from two 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid anions (Table 1), in which the Co—O distances are very different.
In addition, these one-dimensional chains are linked together by O—H···O hydrogen bonds between carboxylate groups generating a three-dimensional framework (Fig. 3 and Table 2).
