The title compound, (C3H12N2)[Zn3(SeO3)4]·2H2O, is built up from organic cations, {[Zn3(SeO3)4]2−}n macroanionic sheets and water molecules. The inorganic component of the structure is notable for incorporating both octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated Zn atoms. A network of N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds helps to establish the layered structure. The six-coordinate Zn atom has , and one C and the two water O atoms have m.
Comment
Organically templated inorganic networks have been intensively studied in the last few years and a vast variety of new structures have been described (Cheetham et al., 1999). Many zinc-containing compounds have been reported, with a large majority of these containing tetrahedral ZnO4 groups in combination with phosphate, hydrogen phosphite, arsenate, selenite, etc., oxo-anions (e.g. Ritchie & Harrison, 2004). Here, we describe the synthesis and structure of the title compound, (C3H12N2)[Zn3(SeO3)4]·2H2O, (I) (Fig. 1), which contains both octahdral and tetrahedral Zn centres. Compound (I) is quite distict from (C3H12N2)[Zn(SeO3)2] (Millange et al., 2004), which contains chains built up from vertex-sharing ZnO4 tetrahedra and SeO3 pyramids.
There are two Zn sites in (I). Atom Zn1 (site symmetry ) adopts a fairly regular octabedral coordination (Table 1) with a mean Zn—O distance of 2.109 (2) Å [range of cis bond angles is 85.85 (9)–94.65 (9)°]. Atom Zn2 is the central atom of a somewhat distorted ZnO4 tetrahedron, with a mean Zn—O distance of 1.964 (2) Å and O—Zn—O angles varying from 102.48 (10) to 122.01 (10)° (spread = 19.5°).
The two selenite groups in (I) show the usual pyramidal geometry, with mean Se—O values of 1.695 (2) and 1.693 (2) Å for the Se1- and Se2-centred polyhedra, respectively. The O—Se—O bond angles are clustered into the very narrow range of 101.35 (12)–102.52 (11)° (spread = 1.2°). The unobserved lone pair of the SeIV atom is presumed to point in the direction of the fourth tetrahedral vertex (Verma, 1999). Atoms Se1 and Se2 are displaced from the planes of their three attached O atoms by 0.7472 (14) and 0.7564 (14) Å, respectively.
There are six framework O atoms in (I). Atom O1 is terminal to Se1 and does not bond to Zn, whereas atoms O2, O4 and O5 are bicoordinate to one Se and one Zn atom, with a mean Zn—O—Se angle of 128.1 (2)°. Finally, atoms O3 and O6 are tricoordinate to two Zn and one Se atom. The bond-angle sums for O3 and O6 are 359.5 and 353.6°, respectively. The Se1—O1 bond length is slightly shorter than the bonds between Se and O2, O4 and O5, whilst the Se—O bond lengths for the tricoordinate O atoms are significantly longer.
The complete organic cation is generated by mirror symmetry, with atom C2 lying on the reflecting plane. Otherwise its geometrical parameters are normal. Two uncoordinated water molecules complete the structure of (I). Both water O atoms (O7 and O8) have m. The H atoms attached to O8 also lie in the reflecting plane.
The polyhedral connectivity in (I) results in distinctive infinite macroanionic sheets of stoichiometry [Zn3(SeO3)4]n2n− which propagate in (010). Considered in isolation, the Zn1O6 and Zn2O4 groups form chains that propagate along [100]. Each Zn1O6 octahedron is linked to two neighbouring Zn1O6 moieties by a pair of Zn2O4 tetrahdra, forming `four-ring' (four-polyhedra) loops. The chains are crosslinked along [001] by the Se2 atoms, forming a sheet. Finally, the Se1–O1 fragments are attached to the four-ring loops, both above and below the plane (Fig. 3).
The organic cation and water molecules occupy the inter-layer regions of the structure and interact with the inorganic sheets by way of N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 2). Each –NH3+ moiety makes two simple N—H⋯O links and one bifurcated N—H⋯(O,O) link, thus serving as a pillar or bridge between the (010) inorganic layers. This pillaring via hydrogen bonds is quite different from the direct ligand-like Zn—N bond that can occur in some networks containing Zn (Ritchie & Harrison, 2004).
The O7 water molecule in (I) also bridges the layers, in an O1⋯H—O7—H⋯O1() configuration. Finally, the O8 water molecule behaves in a similar way, but the acceptor O atoms are parts of O7 water molecules and not framework O atoms. It is notable that the terminal (non-Zn bound) O1 atom accepts three hydrogen bonds.
Compound (I) complements a handful of other templated phases containing octahedral Zn atoms. The novel phase (C6H17N3)2[Zn7(PO4)6] (Kongshaug et al., 2000) contains ZnO6 groups incorporated into a chabazite-like tetrahdral ZnO4/PO4 framework [C6H17N32+ is the 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazinium dication]. The partially cobalt-substituted phase (C4H12N2)[Zn3−xCox(HPO3)4(H2O)2] (x ≃ 0.83; Shi et al., 2004) contains trans-Zn(H2O)2O4 octahedra as part of a three-dimensional architecture incorporating the organic cations (C4H12N22+ is the piperazinium dication).
Experimental
A mixture of 1,3-diaminopropane (0.37 g, 5 mmol), aqueous 0.5 M `H2SeO3' solution (i.e. dissolved SeO2; 20 ml, 10 mmol) and ZnO (0.407 g, 5 mmol) was heated to 353 K for 2 d in a plastic bottle. Product recovery by vacuum filtration and rinsing with water and acetone yielded blocks of (I) accompanied by some white powder.

O-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and refined as riding in their as-found relative locations, with O—H distances in the range 0.86–0.97 Å. H atoms bonded to C or N atoms were placed in idealized locations, with C—H = 0.97 Å and N—H = 0.91 Å, and refined as riding, allowing the –NH3 group to rotate but not tilt. The constraint Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier) was applied in all cases.

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. |

Organically templated inorganic networks have been intensively studied in the last few years and a vast variety of new structures have been described (Cheetham et al., 1999). Many zinc-containing compounds have been reported, with a large majority of these containing tetrahedral ZnO4 groups in combination with phosphate, hydrogen phosphite, arsenate, selenite etc. oxo-anions (e.g. Ritchie & Harrison, 2004). Here, we describe the synthesis and structure of the title compound, (I), (C3H12N2)·Zn3(SeO3)4·2H2O (Fig. 1), which contains both octahdral and tetrahedral Zn centres. Compound (I) is quite distict from (C3H12N2)·Zn(SeO3)2 (Millange et al., 2004), which contains chains built up from vertex-sharing ZnO4 tetrahedra and SeO3 pyramids.
There are two Zn sites in (I). Atom Zn1 (site symmetry 1) adopts a fairly regular octabedral coordination (Table 1) with a mean Zn—O distance of 2.109 (2) Å [spread of cis bond angles = 85.85 (9)–94.65 (9)°]. Atom Zn2 is the central atom of a somewhat distorted ZnO4 tetrahedron, with a mean Zn—O distance of 1.964 (2) Å and O—Zn—O angles varying from 102.48 (10) to 122.01 (10)° (spread = 19.5°).
The two selenite groups in (I) show the usual pyramidal geometry, with mean Se—O values of 1.695 (2) and 1.693 (2) Å for the Se1- and Se2-centred polyhedra, respectively. The O—Se—O bond angles are clustered into the very narrow range of 101.35 (12)–102.52 (11)° (spread = 1.2°). The unobserved lone pair of the SeIV atom is presumed to point in the direction of the fourth tetrahedral vertex (Verma, 1999). Atoms Se1 and Se2 are displaced from the planes of their three attached O atoms by 0.7472 (14) and 0.7564 (14) Å, respectively.
There are six framework O atoms in (I). Atom O1 is terminal to Se1 and does not bond to Zn, whereas atoms O2, O4 and O5 are bi-coordinate to one Se and one Zn, with a mean Zn—O—Se of 128.1 (2)°. Finally, atoms O3 and O6 are tri-coordinate to two Zn and one Se. The bond-angle sums for O3 and O6 are 359.5 and 353.6°, respectively. The Se1—O1 bond length is slightly shorter than the bonds between Se and O2, O4 and O5, whilst the Se—O bond lengths for the tri-coordinate O atoms are significantly longer.
The complete organic cation is generated by mirror symmetry, with atom C2 lying on the reflecting plane. Otherwise its geometrical parameters are normal. Two uncoordinated water molecules complete the structure of (I). Both water O atoms (O7 and O8) have site symmetry m. The H atoms attached to O8 also lie in the reflecting plane.
The polyhedral connectivity in (I) results in distinctive infinite macroanionic sheets of stoichiometry [Zn3(SeO3)4]n2n- which propagate in (010). Considered in isolation, the Zn1O6 and Zn2O4 groups form chains that propagate along [100]. Each Zn1O6 octahedron is linked to two neighbouring Zn1O6 moieties by a pair of Zn2O4 tetrahdra, forming `four-ring' (four-polyhedra) loops. The chains are crosslinked along [001] by the Se2 atoms, to form a sheet. Finally, the Se1—O1 fragments are attached to the four-ring loops, both above and below the plane (Fig. 3).
The organic cation and water molecules occupy the inter-layer regions of the structure and interact with the inorganic sheets by way of N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2). Each –NH3+ moiety makes two simple N—H···O links and one bifurcated N—H···(O,O) link, thus serving as a pillar or bridge between the (010) inorganic layers. This pillaring via hydrogen bonds is quite different from the direct ligand-like Zn—N bond that can occur in some networks containing Zn (Ritchie & Harrison, 2004).
The O7 water molecule in (I) also bridges the layers, in an O1···H—O7—H···O1 [Symmetry code?] configuration. Finally, the O8 water molecule behaves in a similar way, but the acceptor O atoms are parts of O7 water molecules and not framework O atoms. It is notable that the terminal (non-Zn bound) O1 atom accepts three hydrogen bonds.
Compound (I) complements a handful of other templated phases containing octahedral Zn atoms. The novel phase (C6H17N3)2·Zn7(PO4)6 (Kongshaug et al., 2000) contains ZnO6 groups incorporated into a chabazite-like tetrahdral ZnO4/PO4 framework [C6H17N32+ is the 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazinium dication]. The partially cobalt-substituted phase (C4H12N2)·Zn3 - xCox(HPO3)4(H2O)2 (x ≈ 0.83; Shi et al., 2004) contains trans-Zn(H2O)2O4 octahedra as part of a three-dimensional architecture incorporating the organic cations (C4H12N22+ is the piperazinium dication).
