The solvothermal reactions of 2-hydroxyisophthalic acid (H{sub 3}ipO) with M(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}∙6H{sub 2}O (M=Co, Ni) afforded two complexes [Co{sub 2}(HipO){sub 2}(Py){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}] (1) and [Ni(HipO)(Py)H{sub 2}O] (2) (Py=pyridine). They exhibit similar zig-zag chain structures with the adjacent two metal centers connected by a anti-syn bridging carboxylate group from the HipO{sup 2−} ligand. The magnetic measurements reveal the dominant antiferromagnetic interactions and spin-canting in 1 while ferromagnetic interactions in 2. Both of them exhibit magnetocaloric effect (MCE) with the resulting entropy changes (−ΔS{sub m}) of 12.51 J kg{sup −1} K{sup −1} when ΔH=50 kOe at 3 K for 1 and 11.01 J kg{sup −1} K{sup −1} when ΔH=50 kOe at 3 K for 2, representing the rare examples of one-dimensional complexes with MCE. - Graphical abstract: Synopsis: Two Co(II)/Ni(II) complexes with zig-zag chain structures have been reported. 1-Co shows cant-antiferromagnetism while 2-Ni shows ferromagnetism. Magnetocaloric effect is also found in both of them. - Highlights: • Two one-dimensional Co(II)/Ni(II) complexes were solvothermally synthesized. • The Co-complex exhibits canted antiferromagnetism. • The Ni-complex exhibits ferromagnetism. • Both of the complexes display magnetocaloric effect.
