Syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of mixed-ligand complexes based on 3,6-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridazine.

Six new metal-organic coordination polymers (CPs) [Ni(L)(2,5-TDC)(H(2)O)] (n) (1), [Ni(L)(1,3-BDC)(H(2)O)] (n) (2), [Ni(L)(1,4-BDC)(H(2)O)] (n) (3), [Mn(L)(2,5-TDC)(H(2)O)] (n) (4), [Mn(L)(2,6-PYDC)(H(2)O)] (n) (5) and [Mn(L)(1,4-NDC)] (n) (6) were achieved by reactions of the corresponding metal salt with mixed organic ligands (L = 3,6-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridazine, 2,5-H(2)TDC = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, 1,3-H(2)BDC = isophthalic acid, 1,4-H(2)BDC = terephthalic acid, 2,6-H(2)PYDC = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, 1,4-H(2)NDC = naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) under solvothermal condition. CPs 1-6 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, TG, XRD and elemental analyses. Their structures range from the intricate 3D CPs 1, 3, 4 and 6 to the 2D coordination polymer 2 and the infinite 1D chain 5. The CPs 1-4 and 6 underlying networks were classified from the topological viewpoint, disclosing the distinct sql (in 1), pcu (in 3 and 6), new topology (in 2), and dia (in 4) topological nets. Moreover, analysis of thermal stability shows that they had good thermal stability. Finally, magnetic properties of CPs 1-6 have been studied, the results showed that complex 2 had ferromagnetic coupling and complexes 1, 3-6 were antiferromagnetic.
