Two-dimensional assembling of 4,4'-bipyridine and 4,4'-azopyridine bridged iron(II) linear coordination polymers via hydrogen bond

[EN] Novel two-dimensional polymers, [Fe(L-1)(H2O)(2)(NCX)(2)]. L-1 (L-1 =4.4'-bipyridine (bipy)) (1, 2) and [Fe(L-2)(CH3OH)(2)-(NCX)(2)]. L-2 (L-2 =4,4'-azopyridine (azpy)) (3) and X = S (1, 3), Se (2), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The structures reveal the formation of tranzs-L-bridged [Fe(NCX)(2)(Y)(2)] where Y=H2O, CH3OH linear chains assembled into two-dimensional networks by hydrogen bonds between the uncoordinated ligand L and the coordinated solvent molecules.
