Five new coordination polymers based on 5,5′-(1,2-phenylenebis(methoxy))diisophthalic acid (H 4 L), namely [Co 3 (HL) 2 (phen) 2 ] n ·2 n H 2 O ( 1 ), [Mn 2 L(phen) 2 ] n ·2 n H 2 O ( 2 ), [Cu 2 L(4-abpt) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] n ·2 n DMF ( 3 ), [Co 2 L(bpp) 2 (H 2 O) 3 ] n ·3 n H 2 O ( 4 ) and {(CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 [Co 2 L( μ 3 -OH)(H 2 O) 2 ]·DMF·H 2 O} n ( 5 ) (4-abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, PXRD, thermogravimetry and X-ray structural analysis. Complex 1 is a 2D coordination polymer constructing from hexadentate HL 3− ligand, which contains trinuclear cobalt cluster [Co 3 (COO) 6 ] building block. Complex 2 is a 2D coordination polymer assembled by octadentate L 4− ligand. Complex 3 is a 3D metal-organic framework assembled by tetradentate L 4− ligand and 4-abpt linker. Complex 4 exhibits a 2D layered network containing 1D [Co 2 L] n nanotube. Complex 5 is a 2D coordination polymer possessing tetranuclear cobalt cluster Co 4 ( μ 3 -OH) 2 (COO) 4 . Tetracarboxylate exhibits five types of coordination modes. Thermal analyses demonstrate that complexes 1 and 2 were thermal stable up to 400–450 °C. Variable-temperature magnetic studies indicate that complex 1 has ferrimagnetic coupling in the [Co 3 (COO) 6 ] cluster. Complexes 2 and 5 present antiferromagnetic interactions.
