Abstract

By increasing the size of the alkylammonium countercation, it is possible to tune the reaction product obtained from a mixture of cobalt sulfate, citric acid and tetraalkylammonium hydroxide in aqueous solution at pH = 6; products range from a double salt [NR4]2[Co(H2O)6][SO4]2·4H2O containing water hexamers (R = Me) or 1-D water chains (R = Et) to a new cobalt(II) citrate 1-D coordination polymer [NBu4]2[Co2(Hcit)2(H2O)4]·4H2O. Increasing the size of the cation results in a corresponding decrease in the dimensionality of the water motifs, from a 3-D network when R = Me, to a 2-D lattice when R = Et and a 1-D lattice when R = Bu.
