Comment top

The title compound, [Zn4(C15H12N2O4)4].4C3H7NO, is isostructural with its CoII analogue (Gao et al., 2007). As shown in Figure 1, each ZnII cation is penta-coordinated by four O atoms and one N atom, forming a distorted square-based pyramidal geometry. The Zn—O bond lengths are in the range 1.936 (3)–2.275 Å, and Zn—N = 1.961 (4) Å. The ZnII cations are linked into tetrameric complexes about positions of 4 point symmetry by four N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-hydrazine anions (Figure 2). The ligand exhibits an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond.

One motivation to study hydrazine and its analogues is to understand better the mechanism of enzymes containing vitamin B6. For related literature, see: Maghler et al. (1982); Rath et al. (1997, 1998). For the analogous CoII complex, see: Gao et al. (2007).

Experimental top

All chemicals were used as purchased from Shanghai chemical Co. Ltd. A mixture of zinc(II) acetate (0.5 mmol) and N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-hydrazine (0.5 mmol) in DMF (30 ml) was refluxed for 1 h then filtered. Colourless crystals were obtained after a few days standing at room temperature with a yield of 15%. Elemental analysis calculated: C 51.09, H 4.49, N 9.93%; found: C 51.01, H 4.55, N 9.90%.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed geometrically and refined as riding with C—H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
