The title compound, [Mg(C3H10NO6P2)2]n, synthesized by a hydro­thermal method, adopts a one-dimensional polymeric chain structure and is isotypic with the previously reported Cd complex based on the ligand N,N-dimethyl­amino­methane-1,1-diphospho­nic acid (H4L). The asymmetric unit contains one half Mg2+ ion and one H3L anion. The unique Mg2+ ion lies on an inversion center and is octa­hedrally coordinated by O atoms from six phospho­nate groups of four different H3L anions. Each H3L anion, with one protonated N atom and two phospho­nate OH groups, serves as a tridentate ligand. Two of its six phospho­nate O atoms chelate to a Mg2+ cation in a bidentate fashion, while a third O atom bridges to a neighbouring Mg2+ ion. The inter­connection of Mg2+ ions by the H3Lanions leads to the formation of a polymer chain along the a axis in which the adjacent Mg2+ ions are doubly bridged by two equivalent H3L anions. These discrete chains are further assembled into a three-dimensional supra­molecular network via O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the non-coordin­ated phospho­nate O atoms and the protonated N atoms.

Comment top

Among many of the phosphonate ligands studied so far, methylenediphosphonic acid and its derivatives are quite unique because they feature a close connection of two phosphonate moieties via one carbon atom, which facilitate their combined coordination ability to act as a [CP2O6] unit rather than two [CPO3] units. As a result, they show diversified coordination capabilities with metal ions and thus lead to the formation of new structural types. Recently, by using such ligand types, i.e. N,N-dimethylaminomethane-1,1-diphosphonate, we have isolated a series of diphosphonate complexes of metals such as AlIII, FeIII, CdII, PbII and BaII, which exhibit variable structures such as zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, double-1-dimensional, double-2-dimensional, and three-dimensional structures (Du et al., 2009, 2010a,b). As an expansion of our previous work, we have also obtained a one-dimensional magnesium(II) diphosphonate, namely [Mg(C6H20N2O12P4)]n, which is isostructural with the previously reported cadmium(II) complex based on the same ligand and shows a one-dimensional chain structure. The asymmetric unit contains a half Mg2+ cation and one H3L- anion. The unique Mg2+ cation lies on an inversion center and is octahedrally coordinated by the O atoms of six phosphonate groups from four H3L- anions. The Mg—O [2.0448 (11) – 2.1879 (11) Å] bond lengths are comparable to those reported for other MgII phosphonate complexes (Lutz & Muller, 1995; Distler et al., 1999; Stock & Bein, 2004). The unique H3L- anion, with one protonated N atom and two phosphonate OH groups, serves as a tridentate ligand. By using three of its six phosphonate O atoms, it chelates in a bidentate fashion with one Mg2+ cation and also bridges to a second Mg2+ ion. The interconnection of Mg2+ cations by the H3L- anions leads to the formation of a one-dimensional chain along the a-axis, in which the adjacent Mg2+ ions are doubly bridged by two equivalent H3L- anions. These discrete one-dimensional chains are further assembled into a three-dimensional supramolecular network via O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds involving the non-coordinated phosphonate O atoms and the protonated N atoms.

Experimental top

For the preparation of (I), a mixture of Mg(NO3)2 (0.20 mmol) and H4L (0.50 mmol) and ethanol (3 ml) in 10 ml distilled water, was sealed into a Parr Teflon-lined autoclave (23 ml) and heated at 393 K for 3 d. Colorless block-shaped crystals were collected in ca 55% yield based on Mg. Analysis calculated for C6H20N2O12Mg1P4: C 15.65, H 4.38, N 6.08%; found: C 15.59, H 4.48, N 6.03%.

Refinement top

The N-bound and the tertiary C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model: N—H = 0.91 and C—H = 0.98 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N, C); while the O-bound and the primary C-bound H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms: O—H = 0.82 and C—H = 0.96 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.5 times Ueq(O, C).

Experimental. IR data (KBr, ν, cm-1): 3437 (m), 3137 (s), 3071 (m), 2986 (m), 2826 (m), 2280 (m), 1815 (m), 1473 (m), 1457 (m), 1421 (m), 1388 (m), 1256 (s), 1225 (s), 1200 (versus), 1155 (s), 1128 (s), 1088 (s), 1036 (s), 995 (s), 950 (s), 928 (s), 854 (m), 827 (m), 725 (m), 615 (m), 573 (s), 517 (m), 476 (m).

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.
