Abstract
Abstract Reaction of the nickel(II) macrocyclic complex 1 including pendant pentyl groups in MeCN/H2O mixed solvent with deprotonated cis,cis-1,3,5-cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid (CTC3 -) resulted in two-dimensional (2-D) coordination polymer [Ni(C18H42N6)]3[C6H9(COO)3]2·6H2O·6CH3CN (2). The crystal structure of 2 indicates that each nickel(II) macrocyclic unit binds two CTC3 - ions in trans position and each CTC3 - ion coordinates three nickel(II) macrocyclic complexes to form a 2-D layer with hexagonal motif. The dried solid of 2 differentiates MeOH, EtOH, and PhOH in toluene solvent with the Kf values of 1.38, 2.11, and 6.68 M- 1, respectively.
