Abstract

The reaction of 2-hydroxypyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid (H(3)hpdc) with CuCl(2) under different temperatures gives a chain-like compound [Cu(2)(hpdc)(OH)(H(2)O)(4)]·H(2)O and a layer-like compound [Cu(2)(hpdc)(OH)(H(2)O)], which exhibit structural interconversion and tunable magnetic properties upon dehydration and hydration.
