A three-dimensional coordination polymer,[Ni(Hbyip2-)(bix)0.5(H2O)]n,has been hydrothermally synthesized.Each Ni2+ ion is five-coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms from three different 5-(benzoic acid-4-yldiazenyl)isophthalate(Hbyip2-) anions,one N atom from one 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene(bix) ligand and one O atom from an aqua ligand displaying a distorted square-pyramid.Each Ni atom is defined by three Hbyip2-anions and each Hbyip2-anion adopts a tris(mono-dentate) ligand coordinating to three Ni2+ ions affording a 36-membered inorganic ring.These rings are further arranged into an undulated two-dimensional layer parallel to the(101) plane.Adjacent two-dimensional networks are linked by bix ligands into a three-dimensional {63,83}{63} framework with a large channel(ca.26.3 × 13.6) along the [100] direction.Each individual {63,83}{63} network interpenetrates with two others in a parallel fashion to generate a 3-fold interpenetrating network.
A new organic-inorganic hybrid sandwich-type arsenotungstate[H2dap]2H2[Ni(dap)2] [Ni(dap)2(H2O)2][Ni4(H2O)2(B-α-AsVW9O34)2]·8H2O 1 (dap = 1,2-diaminopropane) has been synthesized by the reaction of Na6[AsIII2W21O69(H2O)]·nH2O, NiCl2·6H2O and dap under hydro- thermal conditions and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermo- gravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 13.5133(19), b = 19.043(3), c = 17.647(2) , β = 102.585(2)°, V = 4432.0(11) 3, T = 296(2) K, Z = 2, μ = 25.350 mm–1, GOOF = 1.058, R = 0.0353 and wR = 0.0838. The molecular unit of 1 consists of two diprotonated [H2dap]2+ cations, two protons, one four-coordinate [Ni(dap)2]2+ cation, one six-coordinate [Ni(dap)2(H2O)2]2+ cation, one classic tetra-NiII substituted sandwich-type [Ni4(H2O)2(B-α-AsVW9O34)2]10– polyoxoanion and eight lattice water molecules. Furthermore, some reported different types of transition-metal substituted sandwich-type poly- oxoanions are summarized and compared.
