In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, [Eu(C8H5N2O2)3]n, the EuIII ion is eight-coordinated by the carboxylate O atoms of six ligands in a distorted monocapped pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry. The ligands link EuIII ions, forming helical chains parallel to the c axis, with Eu⋯Eu separations of 4.0678 (11) Å. The chains are further interconnected by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular network. The crystal studied was a racemic twin, as suggested by the of 0.367 (14).

A mixture of Eu2O3 (0.070 g, 0.2 mmol), 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (0.193 g, 1.2 mmol), and H2O (10 mL) was sealed in a 20 mL Teflon-lined reactor, which was heated in an oven to 423 K for 48 h and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 5 K h-1. Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained in a yield of 76% based on Eu.
The crystal studied was a racemic twin, as suggested by the
of 0.367 (14) obtained by the TWIN/BASF procedure in SHELXL (Sheldrick, 2008). All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N).Metal coordination polymers based on N-heterocyclic carboxylates such as pyridinecarboxylates have raised intense interest for their structural diversity and their potential applications as functional materials (Huang et al., 2009; Cheng et al., 2008; Qiu et al., 2007). To date, one-, two-, and three-dimensional coordination polymers have been synthesized by the choice of appropriate metal ions and versatile benzimidazole carboxylates as ligands (Guo, Cao et al., 2007; Guo, Li et al., 2007b; Peng et al., 2010). Herein, the hydrothermal treatment of Eu2O3 with 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid led to a the synthesis of the novel title compound, [Eu(C8H5N2O2)3]n, whose structure is reported herein.
As depicted in Fig. 1, the europium(III) ion is eight-coordinated by the O atoms of six 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate ligands, adopting a distorted monocapped pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry. The 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate ligands link europium ions, forming helical chains parallel to the c axis. The Eu···Eu separations within the polymer are 4.0678 (11) /%A. These chains are further interconnected by N—H···N hydrogen bonds and extend to form a three-dimensional supramolecular network (Table 1; Fig. 2).

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. |

Metal coordination polymers based on N-heterocyclic carboxylates such as pyridinecarboxylates have raised intense interest for their structural diversity and their potential applications as functional materials (Huang et al., 2009; Cheng et al., 2008; Qiu et al., 2007). To date, one-, two-, and three-dimensional coordination polymers have been synthesized by the choice of appropriate metal ions and versatile benzimidazole carboxylates as ligands (Guo, Cao et al., 2007; Guo, Li et al., 2007b; Peng et al., 2010). Herein, the hydrothermal treatment of Eu2O3 with 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid led to a the synthesis of the novel title compound, [Eu(C8H5N2O2)3]n, whose structure is reported herein.
As depicted in Fig. 1, the europium(III) ion is eight-coordinated by the O atoms of six 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate ligands, adopting a distorted monocapped pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry. The 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate ligands link europium ions, forming helical chains parallel to the c axis. The Eu···Eu separations within the polymer are 4.0678 (11) /%A. These chains are further interconnected by N—H···N hydrogen bonds and extend to form a three-dimensional supramolecular network (Table 1; Fig. 2).
