Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties of a 3D Cobalt(II) Coordination Polymer with Tris(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate and 1, 2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene

A new coordination polymer [Co(Htci)(bpe)0.5]center dot H2O (1) [bpe = 1, 2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, H3tci = tris(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate] was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which reveals that 1 is a 3D pillar-layered structure.
