catena-Poly[[(8-aminoquinoline)cobalt(II)]-di-μ-azido]

Abstract

The title coordination polymer, [Co(N3)2(C9H8N2)]n, was synthesized solvothermally. The CoII atom exhibits a distorted octahedral [CoN6] coordination geometry with a bidentate 8-aminoquinoline ligand and four azide ligands. Bridging azide ligands result in chains extending along [100]. N—H...N hydrogen bonds join the chains to give an extended structure with sheets parallel to (002).
