In the title compound, [Zn(C4H2O4)(C12H10N2)], the ZnII atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The ZnII ions are bridged by fumarate and trans-di-4-pyridylethyl­ene to form a porous triply inter­penetrated diamond-like metal–organic framework.

Comment top

Porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) self-assembled by the coordination of suitable metal ions/clusters with organic building blocks are of great interest for their potential applications in gas storage, separation, molecular recognition, magnetism and catalysis (Eddaoudi et al., 2001; Kitagawa et al., 2004; Yaghi et al., 2003; Janiak, 2003). Recently we have been interested in the construction of porous MOFs by making use of mixed organic linkers (Rather & Zaworotko, 2003; Chun et al., 2005; Ma et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2006). The title compound is one such MOF constructed from ZnII and the organic linkers fumarato and trans-di-4-pyridylethylene.

A small portion of the extended framework of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. Atom Zn1 is in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. These ZnII ions are bridged by fumarato and trans-di-4-pyridylethylene to form a porous triply-interpenetrated metal-organic framework with a diamond-like structure (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction of Zn(NO3)2.6H2O, fumaric acid and trans-di-4-pyridylethylene (1:1:1 mole ratio) in DMF at 100 °C. Small, colorless crystals of the title compound formed and were collected in 38% yield.

Refinement top

All the hydrogen atoms were found in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically.

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 > 2σ(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.

Due to a complete solvent area disorder data were treated with the SQUEEZE routine of the PLATON software package (van der Sluis & Spek, 1990). The calculated density is for the MOF only and does not include the solvent.
