a b s t r a c t Using dioxyacetic acid (H2oda), CoCl26H2O and LiOH, a three-dimensional (3D) heterometallic complex [CoLi2(oda)2]n (1) containing 1D Co–O–Li chains has been isolated under hydrothermal conditions. 1 represents a 3D hybrid magnetic rigid framework. To the best of our knowledge, such a chain with the arrangement of Co–O–Li linkages based on carboxylic acid has been first reported. Further analysis reveals that cis-conformation of dioxyacetic acid greatly favor chelate coordination of lithium(I) centers. Magnetic measurements indicate that in the low temperature, complex 1 shows weak ferromagnetic interaction, indicative of spin-canting behavior. Ó 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
1. Introduction The design and syntheses of new metal–organic coordination architectures have attracted great attention not only because of their intriguing variety of architectures and topologies [1], but also their potential applicable properties in recent years [2]. Up to now, a great number of inorganic–organic hybrid coordination polymers have been reported based on the ligands containing O donors such as carboxylates [3], especially the dioxyacetic acid (H2oda). H2oda possesses the features of potential interest for corrosion inhibition [4,5], and its coordinatioin chemistry with the main-group metal ions, transition metal ions and lanthanoid(III) cations, which displayed novel supra-molecular structures [6,7]. As part of an ongoing research project dealing with the coordination chemistry of H2oda [7], herein we report the three-dimensional (3D) main group-transitional mixed-metal complex, namely, [CoLi(oda)2]n (1), which contains 1D Co–O–Li linkages under hydrothermal conditions. Magnetic measurements indicate that in the low temperature, complex 1 shows weak ferromagnetic interaction, indicative of spin-canting behavior. 2. Experimental 2.1.

carried out on a Perkin-Elmer 240 elemental analyzer. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements were recorded on a D/ Max-2500 X-ray diffractometer using Cu Ka radiation. The magnetisation data for 1 was recorded on a Quantum Design MPMS-XL7 SQUID magnetometer. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed in an applied field of 2 kOe in the temperature range of 300–1.8 K. The molar magnetic susceptibilities were corrected for the diamagnetism estimated from Pascal’s tables and for the sampleholder by a previous calibration. 2.2. Synthesis of complex 1 CoCl26H2O (0.0476 g, 0.2 mmol), H2oda (0.1341 g, 1.0 mmol), LiOH (0.0024 g, 0.1 mmol) and H2O (15 mL) were placed in a 25 mL Teflon-lined steel vessel and heated to 160 °C for 3 days, then cooled to room temperature. The resulting red block-shaped crystals for 1 were washed several times by water and diethyl ether. The yield is 65% based on CoCl26H2O. Elemental Anal.

performed using the CRYSTAL CLEAR programs [8,9]. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal parameters. Hydrogen atoms were located at geometrically calculated positions. Crystallographic data and structural refinements for complex 1 are summarized in Table 1. Selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table S1. The coordination mode of H2oda is demonstrated in Scheme 1.
3. Results and discussion 3.1. Description of crystal structure of complex 1 X-ray single-crystal determination shows that 1 contains one crystallographic independent CoII ion (Co1), two crystallographic independent LiI ions (Li1 and Li2) and two oda2 ligands (Fig. 1). Co1 is in the octahedral geometry and six-coordinated by six oxygen atoms (O1, O9A, O4B, O2A, O7A, O6, and O2A) from four oda2 ligands (Fig. S1). Both Li1 and Li2 are located in the distorted square pyramid and penta-coordinated by five oxygen atoms from three oda2 ligands, as displayed in Fig. S2. Co1 Li2 and Co1C Li1 distances separated by two l2-bridged oxygen atoms are 3.151 and 3.051 Å, respectively. The carboxylic acid group of H2oda is fully de-protonated, as is illustrated in Fig. 2. The cis-ligand in complex 1 connects three cobalt(II) and three lithium(I) ions in l3- and l2-modes. The cis-conformation of oda2 may favor chelate coordination of Li1 and Li2. All the Li–O bond distances and angles are listed in the Table S1, all of which fall in the normal range [10]. As shown in Fig. 3, Co1 and Li2 are bridged by two carboxylate oxygen atoms (O6 and O7A) to form dimeric heterometallic building blocks. Further these dimeric building blocks are linked by three neighboring LiI centers and one CoII ions via five carboxylate oxygen atoms forming infinite Co–O–Li inorganic connectivity.

organic–inorganic hybrids) are known, the 3D inorganic connectivity is desirable for properties resulting from cooperative phenomenon such as magnetism and conductivity [11]. For example, recently Bu and co-workers also use mixed-carboxylic acid ligands to obtain manganese and magnesium homo-chiral materials containing 3D inorganic connectivity [12]. It is noted that no typical strong O–H O hydrogen bonds can be observed in the 3D framework due to the rigid framework. 3.2. Magnetic properties The magnetic susceptibilities of complex 1 were measured in the temperature range from 2 to 300 K under 1000 Oe field as shown in Fig. 4. The vMT value at 300 K is 2.588 cm3 K mol1, which is greater than that expected for a high-spin CoII ion through the spin-only formula (calc. 1.88 cm3 K mol1 with g = 2.0). As the temperature decreases, the vMT value gradually reaches a minimum value of 1.564 cm3 K mol1 at 4.5 K. At a further decreasing temperature, the vMT value sharply increases to a value of 1.702 cm3 K mol1 at 2.0 K. The magnetic susceptibility above 35 K obeys the Curie–Weiss law with C = 2.8 cm3 K mol1 and a negative Weiss constant h = 21.9 K, which might be related to both antiferromagnet interaction and spin–orbit coupling effects for the CoII ion. The vMT value sharp increase at a low temperature below 4 K, a most probable reason for the unusual low-temperature rise in vMT value is a contamination of the sample with magnetic ‘nano-particles’, or another material, showing magnetic ordering [13]. In the structure of 1, the magnetic exchange interaction occurs mainly through the short carobxylate bridges. In order to get estimation of the strength of the magnetic exchange interaction, it may use the following simple phenomenological equation [14]:

Here A + B equals the Curie constant, and E1, E2 represent the spin–orbit coupling ‘‘activation energies’’ and the antiferromagP netic interaction one, respectively. The agreement factor R = (vm2 P 2 3 Tcalc vmTobs) / (vmTobs) is 4.27 10 . The value C = A + B = 2.84 cm3 K mol1 is in good agreement with Curie constant. The value E1/k = 57.3 K represents the effect of spin–orbit coupling, which is a little higher than the reported one [15]. The value E2 with a small exchange interaction J = 2.0 cm1 (J/ k = 2E2/k = 2.8 K) according to the Ising chain approximation [vT / exp(J/2kT)] is close to that reported by Masciocchi and coworkers [15], indicative of a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between CoII ions bridged by oxygen bridges.
4. Conclusions In summary, under hydrothermal conditions, a three-dimensional (3D) CoII and LiI heterometallic complex [CoLi2(oda)2]n (1) containing 1D Co–O–Li linkage has been isolated. 1 represents a 3D hybrid magnetic framework. Magnetic measurements indicate
