In the polymeric title compound, [Co(C2O4)(C14H14N4O2)]n, the CoII atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from symmetry-related bis[(pyridin-4-yl)methyl]oxalamide (BPMO) ligands and four O atoms from two centrosymmetric oxalate anions in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The CoII atoms are linked by the oxalate anions into a chain running parallel to [100]. The chains are linked by the BPMO ligands into a three-dimensional architecture. In addition, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal packing.

The synthesis was performed under hydrothermal conditions. A mixture of Co(CH3COO)2.4(H2O),(0.2 mmol, 0.05 g), N,N'-Bis-pyridin-4-ylmethyl-oxalamide (0.2 mmol, 0.054 g), sodium oxalate (0.2 mmol,0.026 g) and H2O(15 ml) in a 25 ml stainless steel reactor with a Teflon liner was heated from 293 to 443 K in 2 h and a constant temperature was maintained at 443 K for 72 h, after which the mixture was cooled to 298 K. Pink crystals of (I) were recovered from the reaction.
All H atoms on C and N atoms atoms were poisitioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N).

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. |

Design of effective ligands and the proper choice of metal centers are the keys to design and construct novel metal-organic frameworks (Kitagawa et al., 2004; Ma et al., 2009). These complexes can be specially designed by the careful selection of metal cations with preferred coordination geometries, the nature of the anions, the structure of the connecting ligands, and the reaction conditions (Li et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2007). We selected oxalic acid as an organic carboxylate anion and N,N'-Bis-pyridin-4-ylmethyl-oxalamide (BPMO) as a N-donor neutral ligand, generating a coordination compound, [Co(C2O4)(BPMO)]n, which is reported here.
In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C2O4)(BPMO)]n, the central CoII is six-coordinated by two nitrogen atoms from different BPMO ligands and four oxygen atoms from two oxalate anions in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The Co—N and Co—O distances are comparable to those found in other crystallographically characterized CoII complexes (Ma et al., 2005). The CoII atoms are linked by the oxalate anions to give a one-dimensional chain. The chains are linked by BPMO ligands and extend the chains into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. Moreover, the hydrogen bonds between the N-donor neutral ligand and oxalate, are crucial for stabilizing the three-dimensional framework.
