Two new coordination polymers containing rigid bis(triazole), namely, [Ni(btb)_(0.5)(nph)(H_2O)]_n(1) and [Zn(btb)(SO_4)]_n(2)(btb = 4,4?-bis(1,2,4-triazolyl-1-
2-(2,3-Dihydroxpropyliminomethyl)6-methoxyphenol(H3L), trimethylacetic acid(Hpiv), Gd(NO3)3·6 H2O and Co(NO3)2·6 H2O were reacted in Me OH to obtain a
