In the title compound, [Zn(C4H4N3O2)2]n, the ZnII atom is coordinated by two O atoms [Zn—O = 1.969 (2) and 1.997 (2) Å] and two N atoms [Zn—N = 2.046 (2) and 2.001 (2) Å] in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Non-classical intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.

The ligand 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetic acid was prepared by the literature method (Zaderenko et al., 1994). A solution of 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetic acid (0.1 mmol), Zn(NO3)2.6H2O (0.1 mmol) and NaOH (0.1 mmol) in 30 ml ethanol was refluxed for 2 h, and then cooled to room temperature and filtered. After ten days, colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained. Anal. Calcd(%) for C8H8ZnN6O4: C, 30.26; H, 2.54; N, 26.46. Found: C, 30.22; H, 2.60; N, 26.50.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C–H = 0.93 Å for the triazole and 0.97 Å for the methylene H atoms. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for the triazole and the methylene H atoms.
The triazoles are members of the polyazaheteroaromatic class of compounds such as pyrazole, imidazole, and tetrazole, which are significant for their technological applications and for their widespread use as bridging ligands. (Ouellette et al., 2006). Triazole derivatives have been studied as anti-inflammatory drug candidates and also been used as ligands for binding Pt and Ru to form antitumor metal complexes. A system takes advantage of the multifunction of the carboxylate and triazolyl group to develop the complexes (Xie et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2009).
Here we report the
of the title compound (Fig. 1). Each zincII atom is four-coordinated by two nitrogen atoms (N3 and N6) and two oxygen atoms (O1 and O3) from four distinct ligands, and the coordination bond lengths of Zn–N and Zn–O are 2.046 (2), 2.001 (2) Å and 1.969 (2), 1.997 (2) Å, respectively. The coordination geometry around ZnII could be described as a distorted tetrahedral configuration because the O–Zn–N coordination angles are in the range from 98.54 (6)° to 124.72 (7)° . The fully deprotonated ligand establishes a physical bridge between Zn atoms. Four ZnII centers are linked together by four ligands through triazole N-donors and carboxylate O-donors into a 28-membered box macrocycle. This cavity, however, is arguably not a rectangular box(Dixon et al., 2000; Fujita et al., 1998), because not all the sides are truly face-to-face parallel. Taking advantage of these twists in ligands, the approximate dimensions of the rectangles are 8.5644 (9) * 8.0680 (9) Å, measured by the distance between the Zn···Zn i separations (symmetry code (i): - x + 2, y - 1/2, - z + 1/2), and Zn···Znii separations (symmetry code (ii): - x + 1, y + 1/2, - z + 1/2). Thus the macrocycle unit is interconnected to yield a two-dimensional sheet along ab plane(Fig. 2). Molecules are linked by non-classical intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 3).For related structures, see: Dixon et al. (2000); Fujita et al. (1998); Ouellette et al. (2006); Xie et al. (2009); Zhou et al. (2009). For the preparation of 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetic acid, see: Zaderenko et al. (1994).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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 triazoles are members of the polyazaheteroaromatic class of compounds such as pyrazole, imidazole, and tetrazole, which are significant for their technological applications and for their widespread use as bridging ligands. (Ouellette et al., 2006). Triazole derivatives have been studied as anti-inflammatory drug candidates and also been used as ligands for binding Pt and Ru to form antitumor metal complexes. A system takes advantage of the multifunction of the carboxylate and triazolyl group to develop the complexes (Xie et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2009).
Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1). Each zincII atom is four-coordinated by two nitrogen atoms (N3 and N6) and two oxygen atoms (O1 and O3) from four distinct ligands, and the coordination bond lengths of Zn–N and Zn–O are 2.046 (2), 2.001 (2) Å and 1.969 (2), 1.997 (2) Å, respectively. The coordination geometry around ZnII could be described as a distorted tetrahedral configuration because the O–Zn–N coordination angles are in the range from 98.54 (6)° to 124.72 (7)° . The fully deprotonated ligand establishes a physical bridge between Zn atoms. Four ZnII centers are linked together by four ligands through triazole N-donors and carboxylate O-donors into a 28-membered box macrocycle. This cavity, however, is arguably not a rectangular box(Dixon et al., 2000; Fujita et al., 1998), because not all the sides are truly face-to-face parallel. Taking advantage of these twists in ligands, the approximate dimensions of the rectangles are 8.5644 (9) * 8.0680 (9) Å, measured by the distance between the Zn···Zn i separations (symmetry code (i): - x + 2, y - 1/2, - z + 1/2), and Zn···Znii separations (symmetry code (ii): - x + 1, y + 1/2, - z + 1/2). Thus the macrocycle unit is interconnected to yield a two-dimensional sheet along ab plane(Fig. 2). Molecules are linked by non-classical intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 3).
