| Abstract: A complex {[Co(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)4]·(α-Furacrylic acid)2·(H2O)}n with α-furacrylic acid, 4,4′-bipy and cobaltous chloride hexahydrate has been synthesized by means of hydrothermal way and characterized. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a=1.147 0(2) nm, b=1.099 9(2) nm, c=1.111 1(2) nm, β=97.829(3)°, V=1.388 7(5) nm3, Dc=1.429 g·cm-3, Z=2, μ(Mo Kα)=0.682 mm-1, F(000)=622, S=1.025, R1=0.035 8, wR2=0.086 1. The crystal structure shows that the cobalt(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms of two 4,4′-bipy molecules and four oxygen atoms from four water molecules, respectively, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Adjacent cobalt(Ⅱ) ions are bridged by 4,4′-bipy groups, resulting in a 1D chain structure. The adjacent Co(Ⅱ)-Co(Ⅱ) distance is 1.147 0 nm. The cobalt(Ⅱ) ion isn′ t coordinated with α-Furacrylic acid. The complex molecules form 2D structure through hydrogen bonds. The cyclic voltametric behavior of the complex was also investigated.
