Structure and magnetism of the ladder-like coordination polymer Co3(dca)2(nic)4(H2O)8·2H2O [dca = dicyanamide anion, N(CN)2−; nic = nicotinate anion]
Abstract
The structure of the title complex has ladder-like 1D nets containing bridging μ-dca anions and both bridging and terminal nic anions; no long-range magnetic ordering is observed.
