In the title compound, {[Ga2(C4H4O6)2(OH)2]·2H2O}n, the GaIII atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated by two O atoms from bridging hydroxide groups and four O atoms from two symmetry-related tartrate units in a slightly distorted octa­hedral environment. Each tartrate unit binds to two GaIII atoms as a bis-chelating bridging ligand by two pairs of hydroxide groups and an O atom of a carboxyl­ate group. The GaIII atoms are linked by two bridging hydroxide groups located on mirror planes. In this way a chain along the c axis is formed. Free water mol­ecules on mirror planes are located between the chains and hold them together through hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, with O⋯O distances in the range 2.509 (3)–3.179 (5) Å.

Comment top

Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the design and synthesis of coordination polymers, because of their potential applications in drug delivery, shape-selective sorption/separation, and catalysis (Chen & Tong, 2007; Zeng et al., 2009). Their structures vary from one-dimensional to three-dimensional architectures (Qiu & Zhu, 2009; Du & Bu, 2009). Our recent research interest has been focused on the synthesis of novel coordination polymers (Pan, Cheng & Bu, 2010, 2011; Pan, Cheng & Hu, 2010; Pan, Li et al., 2010; Pan, Ma et al., 2012; Wu et al. 2011). Here we present a Ga-containing coordination polymer with a one-dimensional chain structure.

As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric part of crystal structure of the title compound consists of half a GaIII atom, half a tartrate anion, half a bridging hydroxide group, and half a free water molecule. The GaIII atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated by two O atoms from the bridging hydroxide groups, and four O atoms from two different tartrate units in a slightly distorted octahedral environment, with Ga—O bond distances in the range of 1.9219 (18) to 2.0102 (19) Å. The carboxylate groups of the tartrate are completely deprononated, the hydroxide group, however, is not. Chelated by the O1 atom from a hydroxide group and the O2 atom of neighboring carboxylate groups, each tartrate unit binds to two GaIII atoms as a bis-chelating bridging ligand. Two GaIII atoms and two tartrate units are linked to form a building unit, each building unit being surround by four O atoms of four different hydroxide groups, which is located on mirror, and linked two building units as the bridging hydroxide groups. In this way a one-dimensional chain along the c axis is formed by linking building units and the bridging hydroxide groups. Free water molecules reside between the chains while connecting them by hydrogen-bonding interactions as to form a three-dimensional supermolecular structure with O···O distances ranging from 2.509 (3)–3.179 (5) Å.

Experimental top

In a typical synthesis, a mixture of Ga2O3 (0.047 g), D,L-tartaric acid (0.075 g), and H2O (10 ml), was added to a 20 ml Teflon-lined reactor under autogenous pressure at 160 °C for 3 days, after which colorless prismatic shaped crystals were obtained.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically (O—H = 0.89 Å, C—H = 0.98 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom).

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.
