Abstract top

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(C9H4O6)(C12H8N2)(H2O)]n, contains one FeII cation, one 5-carboxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate dianion (Hbtc), one 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand and one water molecule. The FeII centre displays a distorted octahedral geometry, being surrounded by one phen ligand, two [mu]2-O atoms of two carboxylate groups from two Hbtc ligands, one O atom from one carboxylate of another Hbtc ligand and one terminal water molecule. One carboxylate group ligates two FeII cations in a [mu]1,1 mode, while the other carboxylate groups bonds to only one Fe atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Recent years have witnessed an explosion of great interest in hybrid organic–inorganic framework solids not only for their intriguing architectures and topologies, but also for their potential applications in optical, electrical, magnetic and microporous materials (Yang et al., 2008). And benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid has been widely used to construct many novel and interesting metal–organic frameworks (Bradshaw et al., 2004; Chui et al., 1999). Herein, we present the synthesis and structural characterization of a new one-dimensional compound [Fe(Hbtc)(phen)]n (H3btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) using H3btc as a ligand.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, contains a FeII cation, a dianion of Hbtc and a chelating phen. In the compound, each FeII displays a distorted octahedral geometry, being surrounded by one phen ligand, two µ2-O atoms of two carboxylates coming from two Hbtc ligands, one O atom from one carboxylate of another Hbtc and one terminal water molecule. The Hbtc ligand coming from the deprotonation of two carboxylates of H3btc acts as a dianion, in which one carboxylate ligates two FeII cations in the µ1,1 mode with the Fe—O—Fe angle at 102.75 (7)° and Fe···Fe distance of 3.38 (3) Å, to form a Fe2 unit; while the other carboxylate adopts a monodentate mode. Thus, the adjacent Fe2 units are linked each other by a pair of tridentate Hbtc ligands in head-to-tail into a one-dimensional chain. The shortest Fe···Fe distance separated by Hbtc ligands is 10.90 (3) Å. Further, the one-dimensional chains are stabled by intrachain hydrogen bonding between coordinated water molecules and adjacent uncoordinated O atoms of monodentate carboxylates with the O···O distance of 2.602 (3) Å. Finally, the one-dimensional chains are further linked together by the interchain hydrogen bonding between uncoordinated carboxylates and uncoordinated O atoms of coordinated µ2-carboxylates as well as coordinated water molecules into a two-dimensional supramolecular network.

Experimental top

A mixture of H3btc (0.0210 g, 0.1 mmol), phen (0.0180 g, 0.1 mmol), FeCl2.4H2O (0.0199 g, 0.1 mmol) and H2O (8 ml) was heated in a 15 ml Teflon-lined autoclave at 160 ° for 3 d, followed by slow cooling (5 ° h-1) to room temperature. The resulting mixture was washed with water, and red block crystals were collected and dried in air (yield 32%, 14.8 mg) based on FeII].

Refinement top

The H atoms bonded to O atom were located in a difference map and freely refined. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
