Crystal Structures of 3,3′,5,5′-Tetrabromo-4,4′-bipyridine and Co(II) Coordination Polymer Based Thereon

Abstract

The crystal structure of 3,3′,5,5′-tetrabromo-4,4′-bipyridine (BrBipy, 1) was determined, and the features of non-covalent interactions in solid state were investigated by theoretical methods. Using BrBipy as a linker ligand, 1D coordination polymer {[Co(BrBipy)(NO3)2(CH3OH)2]} (2) was obtained and characterized.
