Five new coordination compounds with 4,4′-azopyridine (azpy), [Mn(azpy)(NO 3 ) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]‚ 2EtOH (1‚2EtOH), [Co 2 (azpy) 3 (NO 3 ) 4 ]‚Me 2 CO‚3H 2 O (2‚Me 2 CO‚3H 2 O), [Co(azpy) 2 (NCS) 2 ]‚ 0.5EtOH (3‚0.5EtOH), [Cd(azpy) 2 (NO 3 ) 2 ]‚(azpy) (4‚azpy), and [Cd 2 (azpy) 3 (NO 3 ) 4 ]‚2Me 2 CO (5‚ 2Me 2 CO), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The reaction of Mn(NO 3 ) 2 ‚ 6H 2 O with azpy in ethanol/acetone affords 1‚2EtOH, whose network consists of onedimensional chains of [Mn(azpy)(H 2 O) 2 ] n . The chains are associated by hydrogen bonding to provide a logcabin-type three-dimensional structure, which creates about 8 × 8 Å of channels, filled with ethanol molecules. The treatment of Co(NO 3 ) 2 ‚6H 2 O and Co(NCS) 2 ‚4H 2 O with azpy produces 2‚Me 2 CO‚3H 2 O and 3‚0.5EtOH, respectively, which have a brick-wall and a rhombus-type two-dimensional networks. The reaction of Cd(NO 3 ) 2 ‚4H 2 O with azpy affords 4‚azpy from the ethanol/H 2 O media, while the reaction in the ethanol/acetone media provides 5‚2Me 2 CO. 4‚azpy and 5‚2Me 2 CO form a square-grid-and a herringbone-type twodimensional networks, respectively. The two-dimensional sheets of 4‚azpy stack without interpenetration, leading to large size of channels, which are filled with free azpy molecules. The two-dimensional networks of 2‚Me 2 CO‚3H 2 O, 3‚0.5EtOH, and 5‚2Me 2 CO are quadruply, doubly, and triply interpenetrated, respectively. Despite the interpenetration, their networks create the microporous channels filled with guest solvent molecules. The dried compounds 2, 3, and 5 adsorb methane between 1 and 36 atm at 25°C, in which 3 and 5 exhibit Langmuir-type isotherms. The inherent micropore volumes for 3 and 5 are 0.685 and 3.30 mmol/g, respectively. XRPD measurements under reduced pressure at 100°C reveal that the channel structure of 3 is the most stable in these compounds; the observed XRPD pattern is in good agreement with that of the simulated pattern of the single-crystal model. Compounds 2 and 5 also retain the porous structures, however, their pore structures are distorted upon loss of guest included molecules.
