  Complexes as one of the most attractively versatile platforms for achieving long-range organization and order as well as exploitable property, has been attractive in different areas during the past decade. Due to the adjustable flexibility and connectivity information of ligands, the judicious selection of organic ligands to coordinate with suitable metal centers is a key factor for the modulation of the structure and property of complex. Among this, a variety of complexes have been prepared under hydrothermal conditions by using unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic ligands and aromatic polycarboxylate ligands^[1-4], which were favorable for the potential applications in gas adsorption, fluorescence sensing, catalysis and photocatalysis, and molecular switch^[5-9]. Bifunctional pridine-carboxylate ligands possess N- and O- potential electron-donating centers which can exhibit diverse coordination modes with metal centers and various structures^[10-13]. Notably, carboxylate groups on the ligands may facilitate the formation of discrete multinuclear clusters and infinite building blocks by (M-COO-M) linkage, such as Co(Ⅱ)/Ni(Ⅱ) complexes^[14]. It is a crucial way to impart cluster-based complexes with expected magnetic properties and catalysts.

  From the reported references, the study of complexes-based heterogeneous catalysts is concen-trated on the relation between the structures of hetero-geneous catalysts and the size of reaction substrates^[15-20]. The influence of central metals to catalytic behaviors has not been systematically researched and discu- ssed^[21-24]. It has been observed that the catalytic perfor-mance of complexes-based heterogeneous catalysts is strongly dependent on the metal entities^[25]. To gain a deep understanding of the relationships between the metal ions and the catalytic behaviors, synthesis and research of isostructural complexes can exclude the influence of ligands and geometries.

  Herein, 3, 3′-(pyridine-3, 5-diyl) dibenzoic acid (H₂pddb) was selected as the organic linker with abundant N-donor sites and two carboxyl groups, which might be partially or completely deprotonated. Through the coordination reactions of Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O or Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O with H₂pddb, two isostructural compl-exes {[Co₂(pddb)₂(μ₂-H₂O)(H₂O)₂]·2DMA·5H₂O}_n (1) and {[Ni₂(pddb)₂(μ₂-H₂O)(H₂O)₂]·2DMA·5H₂O}_n (2) were obtained, which were identified by elemental analyses, IR, TG, single-crystal X-ray diffractions. In addition, for these complexes, the solid state absorption spectra, magnetic properties and catalytic activity have been investigated.

  1.   Experimental

  1.1   General information and materials

  3, 3′-(pyridine-3, 5-diyl) dibenzoic acid, other reagents and solvents employed were of AR grade from commercial sources and used as received. IR data were recorded on a BRUKER TENSOR 27 spectrophotometer with KBr pellets from 400 to 4 000 cm^-1. Elemental analyses (C, H, and N) were carried out on a FLASH EA 1112 elemental analyzer.

UV-Vis absorption spectra were obtained from Hewlett Packard 8453 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Dynamic magnetization experiments of polycrystalline samples were carried out with a SQUID MPMS XL-7 instrument at H=1 000 Oe over a temperature range of 2~300 K. NMR spectra were recorded on 400 MHz Bruker Avance-400 spectrometer and the chemical shift was reported relative to the signals of an internal standard of TMS (δ=0.0).

  2.   Results and discussion

  2.1   Description of the crystal structures

  2.1.1   Crystal structure of {[Co₂(pddb)₂(μ₂-H₂O)(H₂O)₂]·2DMA·5H₂O}_n (1)

  The X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The asymmetric unit of 1 consists of one Co(Ⅱ) ion, one pddb^2- ligand, one coordinated water molecule, one half μ₂-H₂O, two and half lattice-water molecules, and one free DMA molecules. As shown in Fig. 1(a), each Co(Ⅱ) ion is six-coordinated with a regular octah-edron geometry, which is formed by three oxygen atoms (Co1-O: 0.207 05(16), 0.209 37(16) and 0.210 57(16) nm) from different pddb^2- ligands, one nitrogen atom (Co1-N: 0.217 61(18) nm) from one pddb^2- ligand, one oxygen atoms (Co1-O: 0.214 09(18) nm) from coordinated water molecule and one μ₂-H₂O (Co1-O: 0.216 03(13) nm).

  Two Co(Ⅱ) ions are connected together by one μ₂-H₂O and two carboxylate group from pddb^2- to form a second building unit (SBU) of [Co₂(CO₂)(μ₂-H₂O)] with a Co…Co distance of 0.359 81 nm (Fig. 1(b)). The coor-dination mode of the pddb^2- ligand can be described as μ₃-η¹:η¹:η¹ (Fig. 1(a)). The dihedral angle between the plane P₁ and plane P₂ is 36.324°, and the dihedral angle between the plane P₂ and plane P₃ is 41.706°. A better insight into the present 3D framework can be accessed by the topological method. As shown in Fig. 2(a), each [Co₂(CO₂)(μ₂-H₂O)] SBUs coordinates six different pddb^2- ligands and can be simplified as a 6-connected node, and one pddb^2- links three [Co₂(CO₂) (μ₂-H₂O)] SBUs, serving as a 3-connected node. There-fore, the structure of complex 1 is a binodal 3, 6-connected 3D framework with a point symbol of (4²·6)·(4⁴·6²·8⁸·10), as depicted in Fig. 2(b). Finally, 3D supramolecular structure is packed through twelve sorts of hydrogen bonding (classical hydrogen bonding: O-H…O and C-H…O), as shown in Fig. 3.

  2.1.2   Crystal structure of {[Ni₂(pddb)₂(μ₂-H₂O)(H₂O)₂] ·2DMA·5H₂O}_n (2)

  The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study revealed that 1 and 2 are isostructural and H₂pddb ligands show same coordination mode. Co(Ⅱ) ions in 1 are replaced by Ni(Ⅱ) ions, and there are one free DMA molecule and 2.5 lattice-water molecules in 2 (Fig. 4(a)). Comparing with that of complex 1, the Ni…Ni distance in the dinuclear unit [Ni₂(COO)₂(μ₂-H₂O)] is 0.355 47 nm (Fig. 4(b)). The dihedral angle between the planes P₁ and P₂ is 35.824°, and the dihedral angle between the planes P₂ and P₃ is 41.884°. In the crystal structure of 2, through intramolecular and intermolecular O-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bonds, adjacent molecules are linked together into 3D supramolecular networks.

  2.2   Phase purity and thermogravimetric analysis

  To check the phase purity of complexes 1~2, X-ray powder diffraction analyses were checked at room temperature. As shown in Fig. 5, the experimental patterns match well with the simulated ones, which manifests the high crystallinity and good phase purities of the samples.

  In addition to the phase purity, the thermal properties and the change of crystal forms of 1~2 were investigated by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) (Fig. 6). For complex 1, the first weight loss was from 30 to 125 ℃ (Obsd. 8.36%, Calcd. 8.41%), corresponding to the removal of the lattice H₂O molecules. The second weight loss of 19.88% (Calcd. 19.64%) corresponds to the loss of free DMA molecule and coordinated water molecules. The removal of μ₂-H₂O and organic ligands occurred within the range of 350~480 ℃, finally leading to the formation of the stoichiometric amount of CoO as a residue. The TG curve for 2 also showed an obvious weight loss between 60 and 350 ℃, which can be ascribed to the removal of lattice water molecules, free DMA molecule and coordinated water molecules (Obsd. 27.41%, Calcd. 28.08%). The removal of organic ligands and μ₂-H₂O occurred within the range of 390~490 ℃. The remaining weight corresponds to the formation of NiO.

  2.3   UV-Vis spectra analyses

  The solid state absorption spectra of free ligand H₂pddb, 1 and 2 at room temperature were investigated. The electronic absorption spectrum of free ligand H₂pddb exhibited two absorption peaks at approxi-mately 263 and 310 nm. They can be assigned to the π-π* transition of benzene rings and the intraligand π-π* transition of the C=N group^[32]. The absorption spectra of complexes 1 and 2 were obviously different from those of H₂pddb (Fig. 7). In 1, there are several intense absorption bands less than 400 nm and one intermediate absorption band around 535 nm. The absorption band from 200 to 400 nm should be considered as π-π* transitions of the H₂pddb^[33]. Another absorption band from 400 to 700 nm can be ascribed to the spin-allowed d-d electronic transitions of the d⁷ (Co²⁺) cation^[34]. As depicted in Fig. 7, the spectra of complex 2 display three wide absorption bands in a range of 200~350 nm, 350~500 nm and 500~800 nm, respectively. The band at 394 and 670 nm are assignable to metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions (³A_2g-³T_1g), indicating octahedral geometry^[35].

  2.4   Magnetic property

  The magnetic properties of complexes 1 and 2 were investigated over the temperature range of 2~300 K at an applied field of 1 000 Oe. As shown in Fig. 8(a), the χ_MT value of 1 at 300 K was 6.59 cm³·mol^-1·K, which is larger than the expected value of 3.75 cm³·mol^-1·K for one isolated Co(Ⅱ) (S=3/2, g=2) ion^[8]. As the temperature decreased, the value of χ_MT continuously decreased and reached a minimum value of 0.27 cm³·mol^-1·K at 2 K. The data above 10~300 K fitted the Curie-Weiss law well with Curie constant C=7.08 cm³·mol^-1·K and Weiss constant θ=-23.15 K (Fig. 8(a)). The large negative θ value indicates dominant antiferromagnetic coupling^[36-38]. For the Ni(Ⅱ) complex 2, the χ_MT value at 300 K was 2.18 cm³·mol^-1·K, which is in agreement with the spin-only value of 2.0 cm³·mol^-1·K for one isolated Ni(Ⅱ) (S=1/2, g=2.0) ion. Upon lowering the temperature, the χ_MT value decreased slowly until about 50 K, then decreased quickly to a minimum value of 0.47 cm³·mol^-1·K at 2 K^[8]. The data above 50~300 K fitted the Curie-Weiss law well with Curie constant C=2.19 cm³·mol^-1·K and Weiss constant θ=-5.12 K (Fig. 8(b)). The negative θ value and the decrease of χ_MT value suggest the dominant antiferro-magnetic interactions above 50 K^[36-38]. In 1 and 2, two metal ions are connected by one μ₂-H₂O and two carboxylate group to form a magnetic exchange pathway of {…M-O-C-O-M…}.

  2.5   Catalytic capacity

  As is known to all, the carbonyl compounds represent important applications in dyes, drugs and other fine chemicals. Inspired by unique advantages of metal organic frameworks materials^[39], we decided to explore the catalytic performance of Co(Ⅱ)/Ni(Ⅱ) complexes in the oxidation of arylacycloalkane, and investigated the influence of central metals to catalytic behaviors. To expand the scope of complexes for oxidation of C-H bond, four substrates, including cyclanes and heterocyclic alkanes, were subjected to ketone under the optimized conditions (Table 2). It is obvious that the catalyst 1 behaved excellent catalytic performance, and the reason for this is Ni²⁺ is difficult to be completely oxidized to Ni³⁺ during the catalytic process. Proposed mechanism for the oxidation reaction indicated that there was a reversible oxidation/reduction transformation of central metal ions^[28].

  3.   Conclusions

  Two 3D complexes have been obtained by the coordination reactions of Co(Ⅱ)/Ni(Ⅱ) salts with 3, 3′-(pyridine-3, 5-diyl) dibenzoic acid (H₂pddb). Complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural, and H₂pddb ligands show same coordination modes. Magnetic studies for complexes 1 and 2 show an antiferromagnetic coupling between the adjacent Co(Ⅱ)/Ni(Ⅱ) centers. Furthermore, the catalyst 1 behaved excellent catalytic performance for the oxidation of arylacycloalkanes in aqueous medium.
