摘要

A three-dimensional open-framework with unprecedented alternate hexa- and penta-coordinate cobalt(a) sites was obtained from the hydrothermal reaction of cobalt nitrate and succinate in a basic solution. Of the four crystallographically independent Co(a) atoms in the crystal structure of this compound, three are hexa-coordinated and one penta-coordinated. The cobalt(II) atoms are linked by edge-sharing CoOn (n = 5 or 6) polyhedrons. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of this compound shows strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal atoms.
