Abstract:

Four new complexes [Co(pcaede)2Cl2·2CH3CN·H2O]n(1), [Co(pcaede)2Cl2·H2O]n(2), [Hg(pcaede)I2]n(3) and [Hg(pcaede)Br2]n(4) were prepared with a flexible ligand 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid 1,2-ethanediyl ester(pcaede) and Co/Hg salts. They were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 both have an one-dimensional(1D) chain sturcture with channels. Complex 3 processes a 1D meso-helix sturcture, and complex 4 exhibits a 1D infinite zig-zag chain structrue. The results demonstrated that the solvent molecules filled in channels and counteranions have a significant impact on the assembly of the complexes. Moreover, theoretical calculations were carried about the conformation of the ligand in four complexes.
