Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of two-dimensional chiral coordination polymers based on a tetradentate chiral ligand

Abstract

Two chiral coordination polymers, Δ-[M^II(S-pabn)]₂[Mo^IV(CN)₈]·3H₂O (M = Cu and Co, S-pabn = (S)-N2,N2′-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine)), with two-dimensional network structures, were synthesized by the reaction of MCl₂·6H₂O, S-pabn and K₄[Mo(CN)₈]. The compounds show paramagnetic behavior originating from the unpaired electrons of the Cu(II) or Co(II) centers.
