Tris(2-ethyl-1H-imidazole-
N3)(terephthalato-
O)zinc(II)
The title compound, [Zn(C8H4O4)(C5H8N2)3], has a neutral monomeric structure in which one terephthalate dianion and three 2-ethyl-1H-imidazole ligands coordinate to the ZnII ion in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The methyl group of one of the ethyl groups is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.66 (2) and 0.34 (2). In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network by intermolecular N-H
O interactions involving the uncoordinated carboxylate O atoms.
The title compound was synthesized by a solvothermal method from
Zn(NO3)2.6H2O (29.8 mg, 0.1 mmol), terephthalic acid (77.6 mg,0.4 mmol),
2-ethylimidazole (38.4 mg, 0.4 mmol) and water-ethanol mixed slovent (3 ml).
The starting mixture was homogenized and transferred to a sealed Teflon-lined
solvothermal bomb (bomb volume: 25 ml) and heated at 433 K for 3 d under
autogenous pressure. After cooling in a water bath, colourless crystals were
obtained, which were washed and rinsed with distilled water and absolute
ethyl alcohol (yield: 51.8% on the basis of Zn(NO3)2.6H2O).
Analysis calculated (%) for C23H28N6O4Zn: C 53.34, H 5.45, N 16.23%;
found: C 53.18, H 5.43, N 16.13.
The methyl C atom, C18, in one of the ethyl groups is disordered over two
positions (C18A and C18B) with refined occupancies of 0.66 (2) and 0.34 (2).
The C17—C18A and C17—C18B distances were restrained to 1.53 (1) Å. The
displacement parameters of the disordered C atoms were also restrained to be
approximately isotropic. The aromatic [C-H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) =
1.2Ueq(C)] and methylene H atoms [C-H = 0.96 Å and
Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)] were included in the refinement in
the riding-model approximation.

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. |

Metal complexes with imidazole can serve as biomimetic ligands for histidine residues which frequently participate in the co-ordination spheres of metalloenzyme active sites. In particular, carboxylate-histidine-zinc triad systems are regularly observed, and play important roles in the catalytic processes of more than thirty zinc enzymes (Chen et al., 1994). However, crystal structure reports of such model zinc complexes containing neutral imidazole ligands are rather rare, and so far only a few examples have been presented (Kimura et al., 1991; Chen et al., 1994). Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title complex.
The title compound is a monomeric zinc(II) complex (Fig. 1). The ZnII center is four coordinated by three monodentate 2-ethyl-1H-imidazole ligands and by a monodentate terephthalate group, forming a distorted tetrahedral N3,O geometry. The Zn—N bond lengths are in the range 2.014 (6)–2.047 (7) Å and the Zn—O distance is 1.943 (6) Å (Table 1). The most distorted bond angle is O1—Zn1—N1 at 100.5 (3)°.
The N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) formed between three uncoordinated 2-ethyl-H-imidazole N atoms and two uncoordinated carboxylate O atoms, resulted in a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
