Syntheses, crystal structures and interconversion properties of the 1D coordination polymers [Cu2L2(bipy)](n)center dot 2nMe(2)SO (1), [Cu2L2(bipy)](n)center dot 3nNH(2)CHO center dot nH(2)O (2), [Cu2L2(bipy)](n)center dot 2nNH(Me) CHO (3), [Cu2L2(bipy)](n)center dot 2nN(Me)(2)CHO (4) and [Cu2L2(bipy)](n)center dot 2nMeOH (5) (bipy = 4,4 -bipyridine) derived from the acyclic Schiff base o-[(o- hydroxyphenyl)methylideneamino]benzenesulfonic acid (H2L) are described. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed their solvatomorph properties, featuring the formation of 1D polymeric chains with identical hacksaw patterns and adaptable host abilities, containing different guest solvent molecules. No amorphicity was detected upon desolvation of 1- 5 and of the previously reported compound [Cu2L2(bipy)](n)center dot nN(Me)(2)CHO (6), and these coordination polymers undergo reversible interconversion. |
