Abstract
Two coordination complexes, namely [Co(phen)(H2O)L]·H2O and [Ni2(phen)2(H2O)2L2]·4H2O (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, H2L = 1,3-adamantanedicarboxylic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. [Co(phen)(H2O)L]·H2O consists of 1D chains of the complex plus lattice H2O molecules. Interchain hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions assemble the 1D chains into 2D layers. [Ni2(phen)2(H2O)2L2]·4H2O is a binuclear complex which is assembled into a 3D supramolecular structure by strong hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. Both complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods.
