In the C2-symmetric dinuclear title complex, [Zn2(C18H13N4O2)2(C2H3O2)2]·4H2O, each ZnII ion is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal fashion by one carboxyl­ate O atom from one benzoate ligand, one imine N atom and two pyridyl N atoms from a second benzoate ligand, and one O atom from an acetate anion. The two Zn atoms are bridged by the two benzoate ligands, forming a dinuclear structure with a 14-membered macrocycle. Adjacent dinuclear units are further connected by extensive hydrogen bonds involving the solvent water mol­ecules, giving a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework. The framework can be regarded as an example of the four-connected node network of the PtS topology.

Comment top

The rapidly growing area of coordination polymers based on the interactions of metal cations with organic ligands has given rise to a wide range of fascinating one-, two- and three-dimensional structures (Erxleben, 2003). In designing these polymers, the choice of appropriate organic ligands is a dominant factor in determining the structural and functional outcome of the target polymers. Organic ligands containing N,O-donors are of interest because of their capacity for intriguing structural features and their potential applications (Li et al., 2003; Gao et al., 2004; Fei et al., 2005). Many studies have centred on the use of pyridine(bi)carboxylate ligands, especially 3- or 4-pyridinecarboxylate ligands and 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (Xing et al., 1998; Qin et al., 2002; Garcia-Zarracino & Hopfl, 2005). However, there are few reports on the bis(pyridine)carboxylate ligands (Hemmert et al., 1996; Kirin et al., 2005). In order to further explore the self-assembly of coordination networks based on bis(pyridine)carboxylate ligands, we synthesized a new dinuclear zinc complex, [Zn2(C18H13N4O2)2(CH3COO)2].4H2O, (I), obtained by the reaction of zinc(II) acetate dihydrate and a new ligand, viz. (E)-2-[N,N'-di(pyridin-2-yl)carbamimidoyl]benzoic acid, in methanol solution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a crystal structure of a metal complex containing this ligand.

The title complex has a dinuclear structure, in which the molecule is situated about a crystallographic twofold axis, as shown in Fig. 1. The unique ZnII ion lies in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environment, which is completed by one carboxylate O atom from one benzoate ligand, one imine N atom and two pyridyl N atoms from a second benzoate ligand, and one O atom from an acetate anion. The equatorial plane of the trigonal bipyramid is defined by atoms N1, O3 and O1i [symmetry code: (i) -x, y, 1/2 - z], and the displacement of the ZnII ion from the equatorial plane is 0.13 (3) Å. The axial positions are occupied by pyridyl atoms N2 and N4, and the N2—Zn1—N4 angle deviates significantly from linearity (Table 1). The distortion of the coordination polyhedron is primarily influenced by the very small bite angle imposed by the four-membered ring generated by the coordination of the imine and immediately adjacent pyridyl N atoms to the ZnII ion.

It is noteworthy that each ligand behaves in a quadridentate coordination fashion involving one monodentate carboxylate O atom, the imine N atom and the two pyridyl N atoms, while the amine N atom is free of coordination with the Zn atoms. Within each benzoate ligand, the two pyridyl rings are nearly parallel to one another, with a dihedral angle of 9.2 (2)°; however, the benzene ring is nearly perpendicular to these two pyridyl rings, with dihedral angles of 89.8 (2) and 89.7 (2)°. The two Zn atoms in the molecule are bridged by the two benzoate ligands to give a 14-membered macrometallacyclic ring with a Zn···Zn separation of 5.0983 (12) Å. Within the dinuclear units, ππ interactions are present between each of the pyridyl rings and their symmetry-related counterparts in the second benzoate ligand. The centroid–centroid distances are 3.573 (2) and 3.817 (2) Å for the pyridyl rings containing atoms N2 and N4, respectively.

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure includes two solvent water molecules. It can be seen from Fig. 2 that the crystal structure is built through extensive hydrogen bonds. The free water molecules of adjacent asymmetric units form hydrogen bonds amongst themselves (Table 2), which result in eight-membered centrosymmetric rhombic hydrogen-bonded rings. These rings have a graph-set motif of R24(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995), where atom O1W acts solely as a hydrogen-bond donor through both of its H atoms and atom O2W acts solely as a hydrogen-bond acceptor. At the same time, the free water molecules also form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with adjacent Zn complex molecules. Atom O1W accepts a hydrogen bond from the uncoordinated amine N atom (N3), while atom O2W donates hydrogen bonds through its two H atoms to acetate atom O3 and carboxylate atom O2 of two different adjacent Zn complex molecules (Table 2). Taken together, the hydrogen-bonding interactions give rise to a regular three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding framework. It is noteworthy that the complex molecules do not interact with one another via direct hydrogen bonds but only via water molecules. A better insight into the nature of this intricate framework can be achieved by the application of a topological approach, reducing multi-dimensional structures to simple node and connection nets. As discussed above, each dinuclear unit and each eight-membered rhombic hydrogen-bonded ring of water molecules can be considered as four-connected nodes. Therefore, the whole structure can be regarded as a PtS net (Wang et al., 2008), as displayed in Fig. 3.

Experimental top

An aqueous solution of zinc(II) acetate dihydrate (0.110 g, 0.5 mmol) was added to an methanol solution of (E)-2-[N,N'-di(pyridin-2-yl)carbamimidoyl]benzoic acid (1.59 g, 5 mmol). The solution was stirred for half an hour and allowed to evaporate at room temperature. Colorless crystals were isolated from the filtered solution after four weeks. Analysis calculated for C40H40N8O12Zn2: C 50.28, H 4.22, N 11.73%; found: C 50.24, H 4.25, N 11.77%.

Refinement top

H atoms in the Zn complex molecule were placed in calculated positions and included in the refinement by using the riding-model approximation, with phenyl C—H distances of 0.93 Å, methyl C—H distances of 0.96 Å and amine N—H distances of 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2Ueq(phenyl C, N) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). The H atoms of the water molecules were located in a difference map and refined with with O—H distance restraints of 0.85 (1) Å and with Uiso(H) values of 1.5Ueq(O).
