Abstract

We have obtained three layered hybrid materials from the hydrothermal reaction of 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid with Co and Mn salts: Co(C(8)H(8)O(4))[1], Mn(H(2)O)(C(8)H(8)O(4))[2], and Mn(4)(H(2)O)(C(8)H(8)O(4))(4).0.3(H(2)O)[3]. The structures for all materials were solved by single-crystal XRD ([1]P1, a=4.805(2) A, b=6.650(3) A, c=12.960(6) A, alpha=98.285(7) degrees, beta=98.986(7) degrees, gamma=95.689(7) degrees, V= 401.6(3) A(3), R(1)= 0.0438; [2] P2(1)/c, a=11.151(2) A, b=11.330(2) A, c=7.6560(15) A, beta=108.813(3) degrees , V=915.6(3) A(3), R(1)=0.0412; [3] P1, a= 11.412(3) A, b=12.136(4) A, c=13.809(4) A, alpha=104.703(6) degrees, beta=103.207(6) degrees, gamma=92.468(5) degrees, V=1790.6(9) A(3), R(1)=0.1056). While all three structures are two-dimensional overall, the metal-oxygen-metal dimensionality within the layers varies from isolated metal atoms in the case of [1] to 1D ribbons of vertex sharing MnO(6) octahedra [2] and 2D arrays of edge- and vertex-sharing polyhedra in [3].
