Two novel complexes, {[L1Ni(ipa)(H2O)]2(DMF)}n (1) and {[L1Zn(pa)]4(H2O)}n (2), (L1 = bis(4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone, H2ipa = isophthalic acid, H2pa = phthalic acid) were obtained and structurally characterized. Treatment of M(OAc)2 (M = Ni, Zn) with a dicarboxylic acid and L1 under solvothermal conditions gave the title complexes in moderate yields. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 represents 1D chains along the b axis, and complex 2 shows 2D network with the point symbol {44⋅62}. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A nickel coordination polymer with V-shaped ligands, {[(L1)2Ni(H2O)2] · 2(C8H5O4)}n, (L1 = 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone) has been synthesized under the solvothermal conditions. The structure has been determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and characterized by the infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The crystal is crystallized in the monoclinic sp. gr. P21/c with the unit cell parameters a = 15.6387(3) Å, b = 8.0526(2) Å, c = 24.4791(6) Å, and β = 129.2350(10)°, Z = 2. The adjacent [Ni(H2O)2] units are linked by two bridging L1 ligands to form 1D looped chains, which are extended by the hydrogen bonds to yield a 3D framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
