“…Data collection: X-AREA (Stoe & Cie, 2005); cell refinement: X-AREA; data reduction: X-AREA; program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 2008); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008); molecular graphics: ORTEP-3 for Windows (Farrugia, 1997); software used to prepare material for publication: WinGX (Farrugia, 1999). Extended frameworks of coordination polymers based on transition metal ions and multifunctional bridging ligands are currently of great interest because of their intriguing topologies and their potential applications (Sun et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2009;Xie, et al, 2009). Pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (py-2,5-dcH 2 ) has unique features because of the presence of two carboxylate groups (O donor atoms) and the pyridine ring (N donor atom), which aids to increase the dimensionality of the assembled covalent network.…”
