Four new complexes based on the 4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (Hcpt) ligand, {[Co(cpt) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ]·H 2 O}( 1 ), {[Cr(cpt) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ]·10H 2 O}( 2 ), {[Fe(cpt) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ]·10H 2 O}( 3 ), {[Zn(cpt) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]}( 4 ) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction and TGA. For complexes 1 , 2 , and 3 , they almost have the same coordination mode that only one nitrogen atom of triazole are involved in the coordination, while in the complex 4 , only the group COO − participates in the coordination. In the crystal structure of 1 , each structural unit[Co(cpt) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] is linked to another by hydrogen bonding formed by the lattice water molecules, thus forming a one-dimensional chain structure; In the crystal structure of 2 or 3, each structural unit[Cr(cpt) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] or [Fe(cpt) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] forms a two-dimensional layered structure by intermolecular hydrogen bonds from the coordinated water molecule and the group COO − . The results of thermogravimetric analysis show that the loss of lattice water and coordinated water molecules in 1 , 2 and 3 is below 120 °C, while the loss of coordinated water molecules in 4 is in the temperature range of 190–260 °C. Hirshfeld surface shows that the N H⋯O hydrogen bonding interaction plays a significant role towards the conformation of the basic structure of these complexes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
