Abstract top

In the title complex, [Ni(C9H4N2O4)(C12H8N2)(H2O)2]n, the NiII atom is hexacoordinated by one N and one O atom from two different 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligands, two N atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two water molecules. The flexible 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligands link the NiII centres, forming an infinite zigzag chain parallel to [001]. The crystal packing is governed by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions of the O-H...O, N-H...O and C-H...O types.

Comment top

In the structural investigation of 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate complexes, it has been found that 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid can function as a multidentate ligand (Lo et al., 2007; Yao et al., 2008; Gao et al., 2008), with versatile binding and coordination modes. 1,10-Phenanthroline is also a good example for a bridging ligand that can link metal centres into extended networks, and a number of one-, two- and three- dimensional metal-1,10-phenanthroline frameworks have been generated (Chesnut et al., 1999). The reaction of 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid with nickel chloride in an alkaline aqueous solution yielded a new NiII coordination polymer, whose crystal structure is reported here.

As illustrated in Figure 1, the NiII atom exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere, defined by one N and one O atom from two different 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate ligands, two N atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two water molecules. The metal atoms are linked by bidentate 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate groups into a linear chain (Fig. 2). Inter/intramolecular O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate O atoms of 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate and the coordinated water molecule lead to a two-dimensional layer (Fig. 3). The layers are further self-assembled into a three-dimensional supramolecular network by intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds between the imidazole units and carboxylate groups (Table 1).

Experimental top

A mixture of nickel chloride (1 mmol), 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol), 1,10-phenanthroline (1 mmol), NaOH (1.5 mmol) and H2O (12 ml) was placed in a 23 ml Teflon reactor, which was heated to 433 K for three days and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1. The crystals obtained were washed with water and dryed in air.

Refinement top

Carbon and nitrogen bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C or N atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N). The water H-atoms were located in a difference map, and were refined with a distance restraint of O—H = 0.84 Å; their Uiso values were refined.

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.
