A novel naphthalene diimide cobalt coordination polymer: synthesis, photo/electric/dehydration discoloration, amine sensing, and magnetism

A novel naphthalenediimide coordination polymer (CP), [Co 3 (BINDI)(μ 3 -OH)(μ 2 -OH)·6H 2 O·2H 2 O] (1), was synthesized via a solvothermal method using N , N ′-bis(5-isophthalic acid)naphthalenediimide (H 4 BINDI), Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O and isophthalic acid (H 2 IPA).
