Seven compounds with framework structures made of divalent metal-imidazole (Im) complexes (M(II) = Co, Ni, and Mn) linked by 1,5-napthalenedisulfonate (1,5nds) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Five of these compounds, Mn(Im)(4)(1,5nds) (two forms), Co(Im)(4)(1,5nds) (two forms), and Ni(Im)(4)(1,5nds), contain direct sulfonate-metal coordination and represent the first such compo...
