Abstract

A series of metal–organic coordination complexes based on alkaline-earth metal centers [Mg(II), Ca(II), and Ba(II)] and the ligand 5-aminoisophthalate (aip2−) revealed notable structural diversity, both in the materials’ dimensionality and in their hydrogen bonding networks: [Mg(H2O)6]∙[Mg2(Haip)(H2O)10]∙(Haip)∙3(aip)∙10(H2O) (1) and [Mg(aip)(phen)(H2O)2]∙(H2O) (2) were isolated as discrete complexes (0D); [Ca(aip)(H2O)2]∙(H2O) (3), [Ca(aip)(phen)(H2O)2]∙(phen)∙(H2O) (4), and [Ba2(aip)2(phen)2(H2O)7]∙2(phen)∙2(H2O) (5) revealed metal–organic chain (1D) structures, while the [Ba(aip)(H2O)] (6) showed a metal–organic layered (2D) arrangement. Furthermore, most of these metal–organic coordination materials revealed interesting thermal stability properties, being stable at temperatures up to 450 °C.
