In the title compound, {(NH4)2[Zn(C8H6O8)]·4H2O}n, the asymmetric unit contains one ammonium cation, half of a butane-1,2,3,4-tetra­carboxyl­ate anion, one Zn2+ cation and two water mol­ecules. The butane-1,2,3,4-tetra­carboxyl­ate ligand is located about an inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C—C bond. The Zn2+ cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is surrounded by four O atoms from four symmetry-related butane-1,2,3,4-tetra­carboxyl­ate anions in a distorted tetra­hedral environment. In turn, each anion coordinates to four Zn2+ cations. The bridging mode of the anions leads to a three-dimensional framework structure with channels extending along [110] and [010] in which the ammonium cations and the water mol­ecules are located. N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the cations and water mol­ecules and the uncoordinating O atoms of the carboxyl­ate groups consolidates the crystal packing.

Various derivatives of carboxylic acids have been widely used in pharmaceutical chemistry (Strachan et al., 2007), supramolecular chemistry (Desiraju, 2002), and coordination chemistry (Rueff et al., 2001). As an extension of our studies concentrating on coordination compounds with carboxylate ligands (Jin & Chen, 2007a,b; Jin et al., 2007), we report here the crystal structure of (NH4)2[Zn(C8H6O8)].4H2O, (I).

The asymmetric unit of compound (I) contains half of the butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylate anion, one ammonium cation, two water molecules and one Zn2+ cation. The butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylate anion has an inversion centre located at the mid point of the central 3-C, and 4-C bond (symmetry code -x, -y, -z). The Zn2+ ion lies on a twofold rotation axis. It is surrounded by four O atoms from four symmetry-related butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylate anions, forming a tetrahedral coordination geometry. Of the four coordinating O atoms, two come from the carboxylate groups in 1-position, while the other two come from the carboxylate groups in 3-position. The Zn—O bond lengths are almost equal.

The Zn2+ cations and the coordinating butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylate anions form a three-dimensional network with channels extending along [110] and [010] (Fig. 2). In the channels water molecules and ammonium cations are present. They are hydrogen bonded to each other through O—H···O and N—H···O interactions and also hydrogen-bonded to the uncoordinating O atoms of the carboxylate groups of the anion.

Single crystals of the title compound were obtained by reacting zinc(II) acetate dihydrate with butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid in basic solution in the presence of 3,5-dimethyl pyrazole. However, 3,5-dimethyl pyrazole does not appear in the title compound. It should be noted that single crystals could not be obtained by evaporating an appropriate solution of the title compound in water or organic solvents. We found that it can be dissolved in a concentrated solution of ammonia; thus its single crystals were grown by slow evaporating its ammonia solution.

Experimental top

Butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (22.3.1 mg, 0.10 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml of methanol, to this solution zinc acetate dihydrate (42.6 mg, 0.2 mmol), and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (19.2 mg, 0.2 mmol) was added. The solution was stirred for about 2 h at room temperature, and a large amount of precipitate formed. To the suspensition concentrated ammonia solution was added until the precipitate dissolved completely. The solution was filtered into a test tube and was left standing at room temperature. Several days later colorless block crystals could be obtained.

Refinement top

H atoms bonded to O, and N atoms were located in a difference Fourier map. Their bond lengths were constrained to values of O—H of 0.85 Å and N—H of 0.90 Å and they were allowed to ride on their parent atoms. All other H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.97–0.98 Å, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
