Topological variability of Zn(II) and Co(II) 3D coordination polymers obtained through solvothermal in situ disulfide cleavage

Two three-dimensional coordination polymers were solvothermally prepared through in situ formation of a 2-sulfobenzoic acid ligand from a 2,2'-dithiobisbenzoic acid precursor involving the oxidative cleavage of its disulfide bond. Complex 1 shows neb-e topology, while complex 2 exhibits a scarcely reported twisting chiral dense 7(5).9 net.
