Complex 1 exhibits a 3D three-fold parallel interpenetrated 3D · 3D structure with (65.8) CdSO4 topology. Complex 2 is built from [Co3(μ/2-Ocarboxyl)2(CO2)4] clusters and linear bib ligands, displaying a two-fold par- allel interpenetrated (3,8)-connected (4^3)2(4^6.6^18·8^4) topology, while complex 3 is a 3D pillar-layered structure involving an in- finite -Co-(μ2-Ocarboxyl)(CO2)-Co-chain. The diverse structures of the three complexes indicate that the skeletons of different N-donor ligands play an important role in the assembly of such different frameworks. In addition, magnetic investigation indi- cates that besides spin-orbit coupling of Co(II) ions, there exist antiferromagnetic exchange interactions in Co5 and Co3 clus- ters of 1 and 2, respectively.展开更多
