The coordination polymers (CPs) with binary ligands, including 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (H2DHBQ) and 4,4′-bipyridyl (bpy), were synthesized using in situ hydrolysis of 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ). Three kinds of CPs were obtained depending on the metal ions. For M = Mn and Zn, a 1D zigzag chain structure with cis conformation (cis-1D-M) was obtained, whereas Co, Ni, and Cu compounds afforded a 2D net structure with trans conformation (trans-2D-M) with a 1D pore. A linear chain structure was also obtained for M = Cu. Magnetic susceptibility (χMT) at 300 K in cis-1D-Mn and trans-2D-Co was evaluated to be 4.421 and 2.950 cm3 K mol–1, respectively, indicating that both compounds are in the high-spin state. According to the N2 adsorption isotherms at 77 K, trans-2D-Ni showed microporosity with the BET surface area of 177 m2 g–1, whereas the isomorphic trans-2D-Co rarely adsorbed N2 at 77 K. This phenomenon was explained by the difference of diffusion kinetics of the adsorbent molecules, which was supported by the CO2 adsorption isotherms at 195 K. The optical band gaps of cis-1D-Mn, cis-1D-Zn, trans-2D-Co, and trans-2D-Ni were estimated to be 1.6, 1.8, 1.0, and 1.1 eV, respectively, by using UV–vis–NIR spectroscopy.
