Tetraaqua(2,2'-bipyridine)zinc(II) 4,4'-(6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyldiimino)dibenzenesulfonate

J. Chen and Y. Ruan

Abstract top

Reaction of the newly designed ligand 2,4-bis(4-sulfophenylamino)-6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazine (H2DSNT) and 2,2-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) with ZnCl2 in water yields the supramolecular title compound, [Zn(C10H8N2)(H2O)4](C19H20N6O6S2). In this compound, the coordination geometry of the ZnII atom is octahedral, involving two N atoms from 2,2'-bipy and four O atoms from coordinated water molecules. DSNT2- balances the charge of the ZnII cation and builds up an intricate hydrogen-bond network with coordinated water molecules in the [Zn(2,2'-bipy)(H2O)4]2+ cation. Both ions lie on mirror planes.

Comment top

It is well known that chlorine atoms in cyanuric chloride are easily replaced by other organic groups (Thurston et al., 1951). Using cyanuric chloride as reactant and controlling stoichiometry and reaction temperature, we have synthesized a new triazine derivative, 2,4-bis(4-sulfophenylamino) −6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazine (H2DSNT). Reaction of H2DSNT and 2,2-bipy with ZnCl2 in water yields a supramolecular compound [Zn(2,2'-bipy)(H2O)4]DSNT.

In the title compound, as shown in Fig. 1, the coordination geometry of ZnII is octahedral, with two nitrogen atoms from 2,2-bipy and four oxygen atoms from coordinated water. The Zn—N distance is 2.122 (2)Å and Zn—O distances are in the range of 2.059 (3)Å to 2.135 (3) Å. DSNT2− does not coordinate directly to ZnII but balances the charge of the ZnII cation. Previous studies revealed that the first row, divalent, transition metal ions have no tendency to coordinate to arenesulfonate (Kosnic et al., 1992; Shubnell et al., 1994; Gunderman et al., 1997). The crystal of the title compound is stablized not only by electrostatic interactions but also by abundant hydrogen-bonding interactions between the cation [Zn(2,2'-bipy)(H2O)4]2+ and the anion DSNT2− (Fig. 2). All of the four coordinated waters build up an intricate hydrogen-bonding network with sulfonic oxygen (O5 and O6) and triazine nitrogen (N2) in the anion DSNT2−.

Experimental top

Preparation of H2DSNT.4H2O: A solution of diethylamine (3.66 g 0.05 mol) in 20 mL acetone was added dropwise to a solution of cynanuic chloride (4.61 g, 0.025 mol) in 100 mL acetone at 0°, under stirring over a period of 45 min. The resulting white deposit N(C2H5)2.HCl was filtered. To the filtrate was added dropwise a solution of 4-aminobenzenesulfonic sodium (9.81 g. 0.05 mol) in 200 mL water at 0°, under stirring over a period of 45 min, and then the mixture was heated to 45° and reacted with stirring for 12 h. After cooling to room temperature, acetone was evaporated in vacuo from the reaction solution. The white product H2DSNT.4H2O recrystallized in water and oven-dried at 60° in 70% yield.

Preparation of [Zn(2,2'-bipy)(H2O)4]DSNT: A solution of ZnCl2 (0.04 g, 0.3 mmol), 2,2'-bipy (0.07 g, 0.45 mmol), H2DSNT.4H2O (0.17 g, 0.3 mmol) and H2O (27.0 g, 1.5 mol) in the mole ratio of 1:1.5:1:5000 was heated in an autoclave at 160° for 2 days and then cooled to room temperature for 3 days. The colorless crystals were collected in 62% yield.

Refinement top

Anisotropic thermal parameters were applied to all non-hydrogen atoms. All H atoms were found in difference Fourier maps and all except water H atoms were subsequently placed in idealized positions with constrained distances of 0.96 Å (RCH3), 0.97 Å (R2CH2), 0.95 Å (R2CarH) and 0.86 Å (NH). Uiso(H) values were set to either 1.5Ueq (RCH3) or 1.2Ueq of the attached atom. Water molecule hydrogen atoms were refined using restraints on bond lengths and angles.

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.
