The title compound was prepared by the reaction of two equivalents of 4,5-dimethyl-1,2-diaminobenzene with zinc(II) acetate dihydrate in refluxing ethanol. Slow evaporation of the solvent resulted in large, well formed crystals. The sample used for analysis was cut from a larger crystal. 1H NMR spectrum (CDCl3, 400 MHz, p.p.m.): 6.15 (4H, s), 3.89 (8H, b), 2.05 (12H, s), 1.92 (6H, s).
The structure was originally solved in the non-centrosymmetric
Cc because the mean |E*E-1| statistic was 0.745. The structure refined to R1 = 0.051. However, many atoms displayed disc-shaped thermal ellipsoids and one of the nitrogen atoms coordinated to the zinc became nonpositive definite. Inverting the structure gave no improvement. Using TWIN resulted in a refined BASF of 0.49 with no significant improvement in the R1 value (0.048) or thermal parameters (the nitrogen remained nonpositive definite). The structure was subsequently solved and successfully refined in the centrosymmetric C2/c, which resulted in a lower R1 (0.0363)and much improved behavior of the thermal parameters. All H atoms atoms were found in difference fourier maps. Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms were refined using a riding model (AFIX 43 for aromatic C—H and AFIX 137 for methyl groups). The atomic coordinates and isotropic thermal parameters of all amine hydrogen atoms were refined.Tetrahedrally coordinated zinc complexes play important structural (e.g., zinc fingers) and catalytic (e.g., carbonic anydrase) roles in biochemical systems (Parkin 2004, Maret & Li 2009). Although coordination via three amino acid residues (Zn—N coordination) and a water or hydroxide ligand is the most common coordination motif, carboxylate coordination is also known (Harding 2001). The title compound exhibits tetrahedral coordination involving two phenylenediamine ligands and two acetate ligands all coordinated in a monodentate fashion (see figure 1). The Zn atom sits on a twofold rotation axis resulting in a one-half molecule
The complex exhibits intramolecular hydrogen bonding involving the uncoordinated amine nitrogen, N2, and the uncoordinated acetate oxygen, O2 (see figure 2). In addition, one of the H atoms of the coordinated amine is involved in two weak intramolecular hydrogen bonding intractions with the uncoordinated acetate oxygen atom (N1—H1B···O2 = 2.77 (3) Å, 114 (3)°) and the coordinated amine (N1—H1B···N2 = 2.57 (3) Å, 99 (3)°). An intermolecular hydrogen bonding network involving N2—H···N2 and N1—H···O1 interactions results in planes of molecules perpindicular to the c axis (see figure 3).For the role of tetrahedrally coordinated zinc complexes in biochemical systems, see: Parkin (2004); Maret & Li (2009).

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. |

Tetrahedrally coordinated zinc complexes play important structural (e.g., zinc fingers) and catalytic (e.g., carbonic anydrase) roles in biochemical systems (Parkin 2004, Maret & Li 2009). Although coordination via three amino acid residues (Zn—N coordination) and a water or hydroxide ligand is the most common coordination motif, carboxylate coordination is also known (Harding 2001). The title compound exhibits tetrahedral coordination involving two phenylenediamine ligands and two acetate ligands all coordinated in a monodentate fashion (see figure 1). The Zn atom sits on a twofold rotation axis resulting in a one-half molecule asymmetric unit. The complex exhibits intramolecular hydrogen bonding involving the uncoordinated amine nitrogen, N2, and the uncoordinated acetate oxygen, O2 (see figure 2). In addition, one of the H atoms of the coordinated amine is involved in two weak intramolecular hydrogen bonding intractions with the uncoordinated acetate oxygen atom (N1—H1B···O2 = 2.77 (3) Å, 114 (3)°) and the coordinated amine (N1—H1B···N2 = 2.57 (3) Å, 99 (3)°). An intermolecular hydrogen bonding network involving N2—H···N2 and N1—H···O1 interactions results in planes of molecules perpindicular to the c axis (see figure 3).
