-2,2'-oxydibenzoato]In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, [Zn(C14H8O5)(C12H8N2)]n, the ZnII ion is in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with four O atoms from two carboxylate groups in bidentate chelating modes and two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The two terminal carboxylate groups bind the ZnII ions, leading to a chain along the c axis. Adjacent chains are further linked by intermolecular

interactions with a shortest centroid-centroid distance of 3.586 (3) Å, forming a two-dimensional supramolecular architecture with (6,3)-network topology.
The mixture of Zn(OAc)2.2H2O (0.044 g, 0.2 mmol), 1,10-phenanthroline (0.0360 g, 0.2 mmol), 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phthalic acid (H3L, 0.0302 g, 0.1 mmol), KOH (0.0168 g, 0.3 mmol) and H2O (15 ml) was sealed in 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel reactor, which was heated to 160 °C. Colourless block-shaped crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were separated by filtration with the yield of 0.022 g.
All H atoms were refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

The design and synthesis of coordination polymers in supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering, have been emerging as an ongoing field owing to their structural aesthetics and topologies as well as diverse functional properties (Evans et al., 1999; Yaghi et al., 1998) The semirigid V-shaped multicarboxylate ligands with two benzene rings bridged by an oxygen atom as central molecular framework are of increasing flexibility and therefore able to lead to metal complexes with diverse structures because of the free rotation of two benzene rings around the bridged atom (Wang et al., 2005).
The compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic system. As shown in Fig. 1, the Zn(II) ion is located in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry completed by four oxygen atoms from two carboxyl substituents of organic carboxylic acid in a bidentate chelating mode and two nitrogen atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The head and terminal carboxylate groups bind Zn(II) ions to lead to a one-dimensional chain. The neighboring chains are further linked by an intermolecular π–π interaction between the phenanthroline ring systems with a shortest centroid-centroid distance 3.586 (3) Å, forming a two-dimensional supramolecular architecture (Fig. 2) with 3-connect (6,3) network topology (Li et al., 2003)
