  • Abstract
    The asymmetric unit of the title polymer, [Co2(C3H3O4)2Cl2(H2O)2]n, comprises one CoII atom, one water molecule, one singly deprotonated malonic acid molecule (HMal; systematic name 2-carboxyacetate) and one Cl anion. The CoII atom is octahedrally coordinated by the O atom of a water molecule, by one terminally bound carboxylate O atom of an HMal anion and by two O atoms of a chelating HMal anion, as well as by two Cl anions. The Cl anions bridge two CoII atoms, forming a centrosymmetric Co2Cl2 core. Each malonate ligand is involved in the formation of six-membered chelate rings involving one CoII atom of the dinuclear unit and at the same time is coordinating to another CoII atom of a neighbouring dinuclear unit in a bridging mode. The combination of chelating and bridging coordination modes leads to the formation of a twodimensional coordination polymer extending parallel to (001). Within a layer, O—HwaterCl and O—HwaterO hydrogen bonds are present. Adjacent layers are linked through O—HO C hydrogen bonds involving the carboxylic acid OH and carbonyl groups.
