Poly[zinc(II)-[mu]2-azido-[kappa]2N1:N1-[mu]3-nicotinato-[kappa]3N:O:O']

H.-J. Chen

Abstract: The title complex, [Zn(N3)(C6H4NO2)]n, formed from Zn cations, nicotinate and azide groups, exhibits a three-dimensional non-centrosymmetric covalent network. The coordination sphere of the central metal ions is completed by an N3O2 five-coordinate coordination model showing distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Adjacent Zn atoms are bonded by [mu]2-carboxylate groups and a [mu]2-azide bridge into one-dimensional helical double-stranded chains with the six-membered ring running along the a axis, and these chains are further linked by [mu]3-nicotinate groups via covalent bonds, extending into two-dimensional sheets and further generating a non-centrosymmetric three-dimensional covalent network.
