Under hydrothermal conditions, the reactions of NiII/CuII ions with 3-(6-aminpyri- dinium-3-yl) benzoate (HL) afford two compounds [NiL2]n (1) and [CuL2(H2O)]n (2). On the basis of X-ray diffraction analysis...Under hydrothermal conditions, the reactions of NiII/CuII ions with 3-(6-aminpyri- dinium-3-yl) benzoate (HL) afford two compounds [NiL2]n (1) and [CuL2(H2O)]n (2). On the basis of X-ray diffraction analysis of the two compounds, the results show that compound 1 features one-dimensional (1D) double-strand coordination arrays, while 2 presents the 63-hcb layers. Both compounds are further constructed into a 3D supramolecular structure with the aid of weak secondary interactions. Thermal stabilities and magnetic properties of compounds 1 and 2 were also investigated.展开更多
