Abstract

Two transition metal coordination compounds, [Cd(NBDOA) · (H 2O)2]n and [Co(phen) · (H 2O)4](NBDOA) · 2H2O, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The structures investigated by X-ray single crystal diffraction reveal that the coordination polymer [Cd(NBDOA) · (H2O)2] n possesses two kinds of microporous channels which are bridged by five kinds of hydrogen bonds to generate a 3-D supramolecular network. [Co(phen)(H2O)4](NBDOA) · 2H2O was constructed by [Co(phen) · (H2O)4]2+ and NBDOA2- through electrostatic attraction and many kinds of hydrogen-bonding interactions. The thermal stabilities of the compounds were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry- differential thermogravimetric (TG-DTG) measurements, which shows that cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) complexes begin exothermic decomposition at 540 K and 529 K with final residues of CdO and CoO, respectively.
