A comparative investigation of the coordination assemblies formed between Co(NCS)₂ and two monotopic 4,2':6',4''-terpyridine (4,2':6',4"-tpy) ligands or two related ditopic ligands is reported. Crystals were grown by layering MeOH solutions of Co(NCS)₂ over a CHCl₃ or 1,2-C₆H₄Cl₂ solution of the respective ligand at room temperature. With 4'-(2-methylpyrimidin-5-yl)-4,2':6',4"-terpyridine ( 6 ), the 1D-coordination polymer {[Co₂(NCS)₄(MeOH)₄( 6 )₂]∙2MeOH∙8H₂O} n assembles with 6 coordinating only through the outer N-donors of the 4,2':6',4"-tpy unit; coordination by the MeOH solvent blocks two cobalt coordination sites preventing propagation in a higher-dimensional network. A combination of Co(NCS)₂ and 1-(4,2':6',4"-terpyridin-4'-yl)ferrocene ( 7 ) leads to {[Co(NCS)₂( 7 )₂]∙4CHCl₃} n which contains a (4,4) net; the 2D-sheets associate through π-stacking interactions between ferrocenyl and pyridyl units. A 3D-framework is achieved through use of the ditopic ligand 1,4-bis( n propoxy)-2,5-bis(4,2':6',4"-terpyridin-4'-yl)benzene ( 8 ) which acts as a 4-connecting node in {[Co(NCS)₂( 8 )₂] . 2C₆H₄Cl₂} n ; the combination of metal and ligand planar 4-connecting nodes results in a {6⁵.8} cds net. For a comparison with the coordinating abilities of the previously reported 1,4-bis( n octoxy)-2,5-bis(4,2':6',4"-terpyridin-4'-yl)benzene ( 3 ), a more flexible analogue 9 was prepared. {[Co(NCS)₂( 9 )]∙2CHCl₃} n contains a (4,4) net defined by both metal and ligand planar 4-connecting nodes. The n octoxy tails of 9 protrude from each side of the (4,4) net and thread through adjacent sheets; the arene-attached n octoxy chains associate through a combination of van der Waals and C-H...π interactions.
