Organic-inorganic hybrid compounds Ni(II){sub 5}(OH){sub 6}(C{sub 6}H{sub 8}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(1), Ni(II){sub 5}(OH){sub 6}(C{sub 8}H{sub 12}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(2) and Co(II){sub 5}(OH){sub 6}(C{sub 8}H{sub 12}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(3) have a similar layered structure as determined ab initio from synchrotron powder diffraction analysis. The metal sites are octahedrally coordinated by O atoms. The slabs are built from edge-sharing octahedra in such a way that channels with an average size of 4 A are formed. Bis-bidentate and bridging dicarboxylate anions lead to a 3D framework. The compounds (1) and (2) order antiferromagnetically below T{sub N}=26.5 and 19.3 K, respectively, while (3) is ferrimagnetic with T{sub C}=16.2 K. Crystal data for compounds are as follows: (1)a=11.6504(1) A, b=6.8021(3) A, c=6.3603(1) A, {alpha}=73.52(1){sup o}, {beta}=99.69(1){sup o}, {gamma}=96.16(1){sup o}, R{sub B}=0.070, 668 reflections; (2)a=13.9325(1) A, b=6.7893(1) A, c=6.3534(4) A, {alpha}=73.63(1){sup o}, {beta}=95.14(1){sup o}, {gamma}=91.80(1){sup o}, R{sub B}=0.052, 804 reflections; (3)a=13.9806(1) A, b=6.9588(1) A, c=6.3967(1) A, {alpha}=73.05(1){sup o}, {beta}=94.51(1){sup o}, {gamma}=92.19(1){sup o}, R{sub B}=0.048, 410 reflections. The space group is P-1 for the three compounds. - Graphical abstract: The hybrid metal-organic compounds Ni(II){sub 5}(OH){sub 6}(C{sub 6}H{sub 8}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(1), Ni(II){sub 5}(OH){sub 6}(C{sub 8}H{sub 12}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(2) and Co(II){sub 5}(OH){sub 6}(C{sub 8}H{sub 12}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(3) have been synthesized by the hydrothermal route. The microporous metal hydroxide layers are bridged by dicarboxylates anions. (1) and (2) are antiferromagnetic with T{sub N}=26.5 and 19.3 K, respectively, while (3) is ferrimagnetic with T{sub C}=16.2 K.
