Catena-Poly[[bis-(acetato-κO,O')cobalt(II)]-μ-4,4'-bis-(benzimidazol-1-yl)biphenyl-κN:N].

ABSTRACT: In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, [Co(C(2)H(3)O(2))(2)(C(26)H(18)N(4))](n), the Co(II) atom (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by two O,O'-bidentate acetate ions and two 4,4'-bis-(benzimidazol-1-yl)biphenyl ligands in a distorted cis-CoN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. The bridging ligand, which is completed by crystallographic twofold symmetry, links the Co(II) atoms into [10] chains. Within the ligand, the dihedral angle between the benzene and benzimidazole rings is 48.31 (8)°.
