N2 - A bulky phosphate, 2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-methylphenyl dihydrogen phosphate (L1H2) is synthesized from the reaction of 2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-methylphenol with POCl3 followed by hydrolysis. L1H2 reacts with metal nitrates, M(NO3)2·xH2O in methanol under ambient conditions to afford mononuclear complexes, [M(L1H)2(CH3OH)4] (M = Co (1), Cu (2), Zn (3)) which contain the phosphate group in mono-deprotonated form. On the other hand, when acetate rather than nitrate salt of cobalt is used, a one dimensional (1D) polymer, [Co(L1)(CH3OH)4]n (4) is obtained wherein the phosphate ligand is in the doubly-deprotonated form. When the reaction of Co(OAc)2·4H2O and L1H2 is carried out in the presence of a mono-N-donor ligand, pyridine, it results in the formation of a tetranuclear D4R cubane, [Co4(L1)4(Py)4] (5). However, when the same reaction is carried out in the presence of a chelating di-N-donor ligand, 2,2′-bipyridine, a dinuclear complex with S4R core, [Co2(L1)2(bipy)2(CH3OH)4] (6) is formed. The ligand and the complexes were structurally characterised through a single crystal X-ray diffraction study and depending on the type of compound further characterised by spectroscopic (IR, NMR and EPR), analytical (CHN), thermoanalytical (TGA) and magnetic techniques. This study shows how the steric bulk of the phosphate, nature of the anion in the metal salt as well as the nature of the N-donor ligand influence the framework of the products.
