Synthesis and Crystal Structure of catena-Polybis-(benzimidazole)cobalt(Ⅱ) μ- Phthalato

摘要

The title polymeric complex [Co(C8H4O4)(C7H6N2)2]n has been prepared and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystal belongs to monoclinic,space group C2/c with a = 7.7865(12), b = 20.4215(18), c = 13.4880(14) (A),β = 103.298(2)°, V = 2087.3(4) (A)3, Mr = 459.32, Z = 4, Dc= 1.462 g/cm3,μ = 0.859 mm-1, F(000) = 940, R = 0.0636 and wR = 0.1639 for 1278 observed reflections (I ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ)). The complex assumes a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, formed by two phthalate anions and two benzimidazoles (bzim). The phthalate anions bridge the neighboring Co(Ⅱ) atoms to form the polymeric chains. The centroid distance of 3.471(3) (A) between the parallel bzim rings of adjacent polymeric chains suggests the existence of π-π stacking.
