Hydrothermal synthesis, structure and properties of a heteronuclear Co(III)–Ag(I) complex with the 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxlate

A new Ag/Co coordination polymer, [AgCo(PDC)2] (1) (H2PDC = 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid) was synthesized under hydrothermal condition. X-ray crystallographic study reveals that 1 is a 2D network and has a previously unexplored coordination mode. Solid state fluorescence and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) have been performed.
