Two Co(II) coordination polymers, [Co(ca)(bib)] n ( I ) and {[Co(ca)(bibp) 1.5 ]·1.5H 2 O} n ( II ) (H 2 ca = citraconic acid, bib = 1,4‐bis(1‐imidazoly)benzene, bibp = 1,4‐bis‐[4‐(imidazol‐1‐yl)benzyl]piperazine), were prepared by hydrothermal method and measured structurally by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Complex I shows a 2D layer structure containing Co‐carboxylate chains. Complex II displays a 3D metal–organic framework composed of the binuclear [Co 2 (CO 2 ) 2 ] 2+ cluster nodes through ca 2− and bibp as linkers with (4 12 ·6 3 ) topology. Complexes I and II have high thermal stabilities because their frameworks maintain good integrity before 340°C and 265°C, respectively. Both complexes show well photocatalytic activities for methylene blue degradation under UV irradiation in the presence of H 2 O 2 , which may be used as potential materials for photocatalytic dyes degradation.
