The in situ singlecrystal X-ray investigation of its dehydrated form reveals that a water molecule originally coordinated to the metal center is removed as well in the course of the solvent elimination. However, the framework remains stable, with the coordination environment of the cobalt atom changing from octahedral to square pyramidal. The as-synthesized compound orders antiferromagnetically below 8 K, but it subsequently passes through a metamagnetic phase transition to display field-induced ferromagnetic ordering. The reaction of cobalt (ii) acetate and 2, 5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (C8H6O6) in a mixture of water and tetrahydrofuran (molar ratio 2: 1: 556: 165) under autogenous pressure at 1108C in a Teflon-lined autoclave (50% filling level) yielded the pink-red, needle-shaped crystalline substance [Co2 (C8H2O6)(H2O) 2]· 8 H2O (1). The results of the elemental analysis confirm that the channels are occupied solely by water molecules even though a solvent mixture was used in the synthesis. The crystal structure analysis revealed a threedimensional coordination polymer with honeycomb topology that contains one-dimensional, solvent-filled channels (Figure1a). The cobalt atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral fashion by six oxygen atoms. Five of the oxygen atoms are part of the organic ligand, which utilizes all of its oxygen atoms in coordinative bonds with the cobalt center. The sixth oxygen ligand at the cobalt center comes from a water molecule. Four of the CoÀO distances are in the range between 2.03 and 2.06, while the fifth CoÀO distance is 2.190 (5). The water molecule is trans to this bond, and its CoÀO bond is also elongated (2.158 (7)). The hydroxide oxygen atom and one of the carboxylate oxygen atoms coordinate two cobalt atoms each, while the second carboxylate oxygen coordinates only one cobalt atom. This coordination arrangement results in cobalt–oxygen octahedra that are linked by cis-oriented edges (Figure 1b) such that the cobalt atoms form a threefold helix parallel to the c axis. The framework topology is identical to that recently described for [Zn2 (C8H2O6)(dmf) 2]·(H2O) 2 (dmf= N, N-dimethylformamide).[7]After the hypothetical removal of the noncoordinating solvent molecules in the channels, the empty channels occupy 49% of the total volume of the unit cell, and the average cross-sectional channel dimensions are 11.08 11.08 2. The empty volume increases to 60% if the coordinating water is also removed. The water molecules excluding and including the coordinating water account for 29.2% and 36.6% of the mass, respectively. We found that it was possible to repeatedly dehydrate and hydrate compound 1 by heating to 1008C in a dry argon gas stream and then cooling down and admixing water vapor with the inert gas stream. A dry gas stream at room temperature actually suffices to remove 90% of the water within 43h. The amount of weight loss during the heating experiments indicates that the coordinatively bound water molecules are also removed. Indeed, this was confirmed by an in situ single-crystal structure determination at 958C which revealed that the three-dimensional framework actually remains intact upon dehydration. Because of the abscission of the coordinating water molecule, the cobalt center remains in a square-pyramidal coordination environ-
