A new complex,[Co(HL)2(H2O)4]·H2O(1)(H2L =5-carboxy-1-carboxymethyl-2-oxidopyridinium),was synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction,elemental analysis,and IR spectra.The crystal is monoclinic,space group P21/c with a=0.512 69(2) nm,b=2.275 31(1) nm,c=1.003 95(6) nm,β=98.015(3)°,V= 1.159 7(1) nm3,Z=2,Mr=541.29,F(000)=558,Dc=1.550 g·cm-3,μ=0.816 mm-1,the final R=0.044 5 and wR=0.142 1 for 2 015 observed reflections(I>2σ(I)).Complex 1 can be considered constructed from 2D layers,which consist of left-and right-handed helical chains and further linked into a 3D supramolecular architecture by hydrogen bonds.Topology analysis reveals that complex 1 shows an unprecedented 3D binodal(5,6)-connected topology.
