In the centrosymmetric title binuclear complex, [Zn2(C8H7O2)4(C7H10N2)2], the Zn atoms [Zn⋯Zn = 3.0287 (6) Å] are bridged by four 4-methylbenzoate ligands. The four nearest O atoms around each ZnII atom form a distorted square-planar arrangement with the distorted square-pyramidal coordination completed by the pyridine N atom of the 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine ligand. In the weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules into infinite chains. The chains are further linked by weak C—H⋯π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.

For the preparation of the title compound, zinc oxide (0.5 mmol) and 4-methylbenzoic acid (1 mmol) were dissolved in aqueous ammonia (10 ml, 30%,) and then, 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (0.5 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature and then filtered. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after 13 to 15 d by
of the solvents.H atoms were positioned geometrically with C-H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å, for aromatic and methyl H atoms, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for aromatic H atoms.

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. |

Numerous organometallic complexes have been designed for a number of potential applications, such as in synthetic chemistry (Sommerfeldt et al., 2008), as luminescence materials (Huang et al., 2007) and as magnetic materials (Neville et al., 2008). Zinc derivatives are particularly interesting owing to their unique photosensitizing properties for photodynamic therapy (Tabata et al., 2000; Shi et al., 2008; Xiao et al., 2008; Yang et al., 2008;), magnetic circularly polarized luminescence (MCPL) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra. We have reported the structures of a few zinc(II) complexes (Yang et al., 2004; You et al., 2003, 2004). As an extension of our work on the structural characterizations of zinc compounds, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
The title compound is a binuclear compound (Fig. 1), consisting of four 4-methylbenzoato and two 4-(N,N-diamino)pyridine ligands. It has a centre of symmetry. The 4-(N,N-diamino)pyridine ligands are coordinated to Zn atoms through pyridine N atoms only. The 4-methylbenzoato groups act as bridging ligands. The Zn···ZnA distance is 3.0287 (6) Å and the N1-Zn1···Zn1A angle is 169.82 (5) [symmetry code: (A) 2 - x, 2 - y, -z]. The four O atoms of the bridging 4-methylbenzoato ligands around each Zn atom form a distorted square plane (Table 1). A distorted square-pyramidal arrangement around each Zn atom is completed by the pyridine N atom of 4-(N,N-diamino)pyridine ligand (Table 1). The dihedral angle between plane through Zn1, O1, O2, C2, Zn1A, O1A, O2A, C2A and the plane through Zn1, O3, O4, C1, Zn1A, O3A, O4A, C1A is 87.931 (24) °. The Zn-O bonds are in the range of 2.0320 (16)-2.0626 (15) Å, and are in accordance with the corresponding values in a similar compound (Wang et al., 2009). The Zn1-N1 [2.0160 (16) Å] bond is significantly shorter than the corresponding reported values (Halcrow et al., 2000).
In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-H···O interactions (Table 2) link the molecules into infinite chains (Fig. 2), in which they are further linked by weak C—H···π interactions (Table 2) to form a three-dimensional network (Fig. 3).
