Abstract : Reaction of a molecular Co(ii) maleate, [Co(Hmal)2(H 2O)4], with pyridine yields a Co(ii) fumarate, [Co(fum)(H2O)4], with a chain structure and a chiral pyridylsuccinic acid zwitter ion, -OOC-CH(N+C 5H5)-CH2-COOH, in almost quantitative yields, while the reaction of 4,4′-bipyridine (bipy) with the Co(ii) maleate, on the other hand, almost quantitatively generates a polylmeric Co(ii) maleate, [Co(mal)(bipy)]n•(n/2)H2O along with the adduct of fumaric acid with bipyridine. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
