catena-Poly[[(L-methionine-κO)zinc]-μ₃-(hydrogen phosphato)-κ³O:O′:O′′], [Zn{PO₃(OH)}(C₅H₁₁NO₂S)]_n, a new one-dimensional homochiral zincophosphate, was hydrothermally synthesized using L-methionine as a structure-directing agent. The compound consists of a network of ZnO₄ and (HO)PO₃ tetrahedra that form ladder-like chains of edge-fused Zn₂P₂O₄ rings propagating parallel to [100]. The chains are decorated on each side by zwitterionic L-methionine ligands, which interact with the inorganic framework via Zn—O coordination bonds. The structure displays interchain N—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

Keywords: crystal structure; hydrothermal synthesis; zincophosphates; methionine; hybrid materials; homochiral structure.

1. Chemical context

In the last two decades, the blossoming of research on hybrid organic-inorganic open-framework systems has been motivated by the growing interest in obtaining materials that combine the functional properties of organic and inorganic components (Wang et al., 2014 ; Murugavel et al., 2008 ; Thomas, 1994 ). Since their discovery in 1991 (Gier & Stucky, 1991 ), attention on hybrid zincophosphates has arisen because of the diversity of new open-framework structures that can be obtained (Kefi et al., 2007 ; Fleith et al., 2002 ; Stojakovic et al., 2009 ; Mekhatria et al., 2011 ). Although in the majority of cases the organic molecules are hydrogen-bonded to the mineral framework or trapped in the micropores of the material, they can also be directly linked to the inorganic network through coordination bonds (Mekhatria et al., 2011; Fan et al., 2005 ; Fan & Hanson, 2005 ; Zhao et al., 2008 ; Dong et al., 2010 ). In such systems and in the related class of zincophosphites, amino acids have been used as chiral structure-directing agents with only partial success. Enantiopure histidine, for example, has been shown to template the formation of zincophosphate (Mekhatria et al., 2011; Fan et al., 2005; Zhao et al., 2008) or zincophosphite (Chen & Bu, 2006 ) materials. The amino acid coordinates the Zn atom via either its carboxylate group (Mekhatria et al., 2011; Zhao et al., 2008), its imidazole ring (Fan et al., 2005) or both functions (Chen & Bu, 2006). However, racemization of histidine takes place during the synthesis and the reported materials are achiral. Among the rare homochiral systems so far assembled are ladder-like zincophosphites [HA·ZnHPO₃] where the aminoacid [HA = L-asparagine (Gordon & Harrison, 2004 ) or L-tryptophan (Dong et al., 2010)] is O-bound to the inorganic framework. Using L-histidine, a zincophosphate [Zn₃(H₂O)(PO₄)(HPO₄)(HA)₂(A)] was also isolated displaying ladder-like chains decorated by pendant ZnO₂N₂ tetrahedra (Dong et al., 2010). In this material, the two neutral amino acid molecules act as monodentate ligands through their imidazole function, while the deprotonated one chelates a Zn atom via its imidazole and amino groups.

We report herein a new zincophosphate compound, [Zn(HPO₄)(L-met)]_n (I), containing O-bound L-methionine (L-met) and exhibiting a simple ladder-like homochiral structure. The compound was obtained as a minority phase together with hopeite [Zn₃(PO₄)₂·4H₂O; Hill & Jones, 1976 ] and residues of the reagents by hydrothermal synthesis starting from zinc oxide, orthophosphoric acid and L-methionine in water. A needle-like single crystal of sufficient size and quality was isolated from the product mixture and a single-crystal X-ray analysis performed at room temperature.

2. Structural commentary

The asymmetric unit contains one zinc cation, one hydrogenphosphate anion and one L-methionine ligand in its zwitterionic form. It is shown in Fig. 1 along with the symmetry-equivalent O atoms required to complete the coordination sphere of Zn. Such a formulation is in accordance with charge balance considerations assuming usual valences for Zn (2+), P (5+), O (2−) and H (1+). The ammonium and HPO₄²⁻ hydrogen atoms were clearly located in Fourier difference maps. The zinc ion is tetrahedrally coordinated by the oxygen atoms (O2, O3ⁱ and O4ⁱⁱ) of three different (HO)PO₃²⁻ groups and by the carboxylate oxygen (O5) of methionine, with (Zn—O)_av = 1.95 Å and O—Zn—O angles in the range 103.84 (11)–115.56 (11)° (Table 1). The hydrogenphosphate group is connected to three different zinc ions through O2, O3 and O4. The corresponding P—O distances range between 1.510 (3) and 1.525 (2) Å while the terminal P1—O1 bond is much longer [1.584 (3) Å], as expected for a pendant OH group (Fan et al., 2005; Fan & Hanson, 2005). The O—P—O and Zn—O—P angles are in the ranges 103.27 (14)–114.41 (14) and 129.16 (14)–132.83 (15)°, respectively.

As a consequence of the 2₁ axis lying parallel to [100], the alternating ZnO₄ and (HO)PO₃ tetrahedra form neutral ladder-like chains of edge-fused Zn₂P₂O₄ rings that propagate parallel to the [100] direction (Fig. 2). L-Methionine molecules are grafted on each side of the ladder and act as monodentate ligands rather than as a chelants (Brand et al., 2001 ). The geometrical parameters of the amino acid are unexceptional for zwitterionic methionine (Alagar et al., 2005 ). No extra framework components are present. As its most interesting aspect, the structure is homochiral: all methionine ancillary ligands have the same S configuration at their C2 atoms as in the starting material (L-methionine). Such a structure is similar to that previously reported for zincophosphite chains (Dong et al., 2010; Gordon & Harrison, 2004) but is, to the best of our knowledge, unknown for zincophosphates.

3. Supramolecular features

No intrachain hydrogen bonds are present, differing from the L-asparagine derivative described by Gordon & Harrison (2004). The ladder-like chains in (I) are assembled via a network of hydrogen-bonding interactions (Fig. 3 and Table 2). The ammonium group is engaged in three hydrogen bonds with a neighboring chain obtained by unitary translation along [010]. The hydrogen-bond acceptors are the HPO₄²⁻ oxygen atoms O3 and O4 and the non-coordinating carboxylate oxygen O6 of the methionine ligand. Along the [001] direction, the ladders are linked by hydrogen bonds between the pendant OH groups and the methionine sulfur atoms.

4. Synthesis and crystallization

The reaction mixture, with a molar composition of 2:1:1:180 for ZnO:P₂O₅:L-methionine:H₂O, was prepared by mixing zinc oxide (Merck, 99%) with an appropriate amount of distilled water. Proper amounts of orthophosphoric acid (Biochem, 98%) and L-methionine (Merck, 99%) were then added, under stirring. After heating at 373 K for 3 days, the solid obtained was recovered, washed with distilled water and dried at 333 K overnight. The solid product, consisting of small shiny crystals, turned out to be multiphasic, with hopeite and (I) as major components. Qualitative and quantitative phase analyses by powder XRD and Rietveld refinement gave (wt%): 80±1% of hopeite, 7.0±0.5% of (I), 2±0.2% of L-methionine, 1±0.2% of zinc oxide and 10±1% of an amorphous phase. Such a composition is in reasonable agreement with the C, H, N, S content of the bulk phase determined by combustion analysis. Analysis calculated (wt%) for the composition resulting from Rietveld refinement (neglecting the amorphous phase): C, 2.16 (13); H, 1.83 (3); N, 0.50 (3); S, 1.15 (7). Found: C, 2.5; H, 1.9; N, 0.6; S, 2.4. The occurrence of hopeite and (I) as main phases was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and semi-quantitative EDS analysis. So far, we have been unable to isolate the new compound in pure form, and attempts to crystallize it in fluoride medium remained unsuccessful.

5. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3. C-bound H atoms were added in calculated positions with C—H = 0.98, 0.97, 0.96 Å for tertiary, secondary and methyl hydrogen atoms, respectively (the CH₃ group was subjected to torsion-angle refinement). Isotropic displacement parameters for C—H hydrogen atoms were constrained to those of the parent atom, with U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(C) for methyl and U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C) for the remaining hydrogen atoms. In a subsequent ΔF map, four electron-density residuals were clearly located close to the nitrogen atom and to the non-bridging phosphate oxygen atom and refined as the ammonium and hydrogenphosphate H atoms, respectively. The ammonium group was constrained to have an idealized geometry with N—H = 0.89 Å and was subjected to torsion-angle refinement with a common U_iso value for its H atoms. Note that when the occupancy factor of N-bound hydrogen atoms was decreased to 2/3, to model a rotationally disordered amino group, their U_iso refined to an unphysically low value. The hydroxyl hydrogen atom was refined freely, but the O—H distance was restrained to 0.82 (1) Å. The Flack parameter for the complete structural model was x = 0.054 (16) by a classical fit to all intensities (Flack, 1983 ) and 0.063 (10) from 841 selected quotients (Parsons et al., 2013 ). The final refinement was then carried out as a two-component inversion twin, resulting in a 0.055 (16) fraction of the inverted component.

Special details top

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. After all nonhydrogen atoms were located and refined anisotropically, the model converged to wR(F²) = 0.0877 with a Flack parameter (determined by classical fit to all intensities) x = 0.044 (17) (Flack, 1983); for the inverted structure, the same parameters were 0.1288 and 0.94 (3), respectively. The absolute structure was then well defined and corresponded to an L configuration for the methionine ligand. C-bound hydrogen atoms were added in calculated positions with C—H = 0.98, 0.97, 0.96 Å for tertiary, secondary and methyl H atoms, respectively (the CH₃ group was subject to torsion angle refinement using AFIX 137 instruction). Isotropic displacement parameters for C—H H atoms were constrained to those of the parent atom, with U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(C) for methyl and U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C) for the remaining H atoms. In a subsequent ΔF map, four electron density residuals were clearly located close to the nitrogen atom and to the nonbridging phosphate oxygen and refined as the ammonium and hydrogenphosphate H atoms, respectively. The ammonium group was constrained to have an idealized geometry with N—H = 0.89 Å and was subject to torsion angle refinement with a common U_iso value for its H atoms. Note that when the occupancy factor of N-bound H atoms was decreased to 2/3, to model a rotationally disordered amino group, their U_iso refined to an unphysically low value. The hydroxyl hydrogen was refined freely, but the O—H distance was restrained to 0.82 (1) Å. The Flack parameter for the complete structural model was x = 0.054 (16) by classical fit to all intensities (Flack, 1983) and 0.063 (10) from 841 selected quotients (Parsons et al., 2013). Final refinement was carried out as a 2-component inversion twin, resulting in a 0.055 (16) fraction of inverted component.
