From mononuclear to two-dimensional cobalt(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes based on a mixed benzimidazole–dicarboxylate strategy: syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties

Abstract

Three cobalt(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes with diverse structure dimensions based on a mixed benzimidazole–dicarboxylate strategy have been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized structurally and magnetically.
