Four novel cobalt(II) coordination polymers [Co 2 (OA)(dib) 2 (H 2 O)] (1), [Co 2 (OA)(bbi) 2 ] 3 3H 2 O (2), [Co 3 (HOA) 2 -(bpe) 2 (H 2 O) 6 ] 3 2H 2 O (3), and [Co 2 (OA)(dpe)(H 2 O) 2 ] ( 4) were obtained by hydrothermal reactions of Co(NO 3 ) 2 3 6H 2 O with 3,3 0 ,4,4 0 -oxidiphthalic acid (H 4 OA) and corresponding N-donor ligands, namely, 1,4-di(1-imidazolyl)benzene (dib), 1,1 0 -(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole) (bbi), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpe), and 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene (dpe), respectively. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that 1 is a two-dimensional (2D) network containing infinite -(CoÀOÀCÀO) n -chains, while 2 features a 2D double-layered structure with two types of homochiral helical chains filled in the cavities. Complex 3 is a threedimensional (3D) framework with (6 4 .8 2 )(6 6 ) topology containing infinite 2D networks pillared by bpe bridging ligands. 4 is a (4 4 .6 6 ) topological 3D framework with coordinated dpe molecules occupied in the channels. The results revealed that the flexible multi-carboxylate and N-donor auxiliary ligands are effective building blocks in constructing coordination polymers with diverse architectures. In addition, the magnetic properties of 1, 3, and 4 were investigated, and the results showed that weak ferromagnetic interactions occurred between Co(II) ions in 1 and 3, while 4 displays a weak antiferromagnetic behavior.
