Cobalt(II)-Terephthalate Frameworks Containing Bis(benz­imidazole) Derivative Co-ligands: Syntheses, Crystal Structures, Catalytic and Fluorescence Properties

Four cobalt(ii) coordination polymers with diverse topologies derived from flexible bis(benzimidazole) and aromatic dicarboxylic acids: syntheses, crystal structures and catalytic properties

Four metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were obtained from the hydrothermal reaction of Co(ii) and with dicarboxylic acid and flexible bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole) and characterized. The four MOFs exhibit distinct 2D or 3D structural frameworks.
