Polycarboxylate-directed various Co(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes based on a “V”-like bis-pyridyl-bis-amide derivative: construction, electrochemical and photocatalytic properties

Abstract

Six Co(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes have been hydrothermally synthesized with mixed ligands. The effects of the polycarboxylates on the structures of the title complexes have been discussed.
