In the title compound, [Zn(C8H6N5O4)2(H2O)2], the six-coordinate ZnII ion, which is located on an inversion center, has a distorted octahedral configuration. Each 5-carboxy-2-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate ligand chelates to the ZnII ion through a triazole N atom and a carboxylate O atom in the equatorial plane. The coordination sphere is completed by two water molecules in axial positions. There is an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond in the ligand. In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional structure.

For the synthesis of title compound, a solution of [2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H- imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid)(1.0 mmol), Zn(NO3)2.6H2O (0.5 mmol) and NaOH (0.1 mmol) in 10 ml water was stirred for 30 min and then filtered. The filtrate was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After two days colourless single crystals, suitable for X-ray analysis, were obtained. Anal. Calcd(%) for C16H16ZnN10O10: C, 33.49; H, 2.81; N, 24.41. Found: C, 33.22; H, 2.60; N, 25.50.
The water H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and were freely refined. The remaining H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding atoms: O–H = 0.85 Å, N–H = 0.86 Å, and C–H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å for CH and CH2 atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent O, N, or C atom).
The assembly of multifunctional ligands with metal ions is currently of great interest due to their use in constructing two- and three-dimensional compounds with special properties (Eddaoudi et al., 2001). So far, most of these multi-dimensional coordination compounds are formed with N-containing ligands, such as, 4,4-bipyridine, polycarboxylic, and triazoles (Chang et al., 2010). Triazole derivatives have been studied as anti-inflammatory drug candidates and have also been used as ligands for binding Pt and Ru to form antitumor metal complexes (Komeda et al., 2002).
A system taking advantage of the presence of both a carboxylate and a triazol group for coordintaion to silver(I) has been reported on by (Xie et al., 2009). The isostructural manganese(II) complex of the title ligand, 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H- imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, has been reported on by (Ding & Tong, 2010). Herein, we report on the synthesis and
of the title zinc(II) complex.In the title compound, the zincII atom is located on an inversion center and is six-coordinated, by two imidazole nitrogen atoms (N4 and N4A) and two carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O1A) of two deprotonated 2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ligands, in the equitorial plane, and by two water molecules in axial positions (Fig. 1). The coordination Zn–N bond lengths are 2.110 (2) Å, while the Zn—O bond lengths are 2.115 (2) Å in the equitorial plane and 2.154 (3) Å in axial positions. The coordination geometry around the ZnII ion can be described as distorted octahedral because the O–Zn–N and O–Zn–O coordination angles range from 79.48 (8)° to 100.52 (8)°. There is an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond in each ligand (Table 1). This geometry is very smilar to that in the isostructural manganese(II) complex mentioned above.
In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H···O, O—H···N and N—H···N hydrogen-bonds, to form a three-dimensional structure (Table 1).

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. |

The assembly of multifunctional ligands with metal ions is currently of great interest due to their use in constructing two- and three-dimensional compounds with special properties (Eddaoudi et al., 2001). So far, most of these multi-dimensional coordination compounds are formed with N-containing ligands, such as, 4,4-bipyridine, polycarboxylic, and triazoles (Chang et al., 2010). Triazole derivatives have been studied as anti-inflammatory drug candidates and have also been used as ligands for binding Pt and Ru to form antitumor metal complexes (Komeda et al., 2002).
A system taking advantage of the presence of both a carboxylate and a triazol group for coordintaion to silver(I) has been reported on by (Xie et al., 2009). The isostructural manganese(II) complex of the title ligand, 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H- imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, has been reported on by (Ding & Tong, 2010). Herein, we report on the synthesis and crystal structure of the title zinc(II) complex.
In the title compound, the zincII atom is located on an inversion center and is six-coordinated, by two imidazole nitrogen atoms (N4 and N4A) and two carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O1A) of two deprotonated 2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ligands, in the equitorial plane, and by two water molecules in axial positions (Fig. 1). The coordination Zn–N bond lengths are 2.110 (2) Å, while the Zn—O bond lengths are 2.115 (2) Å in the equitorial plane and 2.154 (3) Å in axial positions. The coordination geometry around the ZnII ion can be described as distorted octahedral because the O–Zn–N and O–Zn–O coordination angles range from 79.48 (8)° to 100.52 (8)°. There is an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond in each ligand (Table 1). This geometry is very smilar to that in the isostructural manganese(II) complex mentioned above.
In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H···O, O—H···N and N—H···N hydrogen-bonds, to form a three-dimensional structure (Table 1).
