A three-dimensional cobalt(II)-coordination polymer based on 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate

Hydrothermal reaction between cobalt(II) nitrate and 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid in the presence of NaOAc and NaCl gave a 3-D cobalt(II)-coordination polymer, Co(3,5-pyridinedicarboxylato)(H2O) (1). X-ray structure determination showed that compound 1 has a 3-D infinite network based on cobalt–carboxylate building blocks.
