In a typical procedure trz (0.5 mmol) and Zn(NO3)2 (0.5 mmol) were weighed and placed in a 23 ml Teflon lined autoclave together with 5 ml water and 5 ml e thanol, which functioned as the reaction solvent. The autoclave was subsequently sealed and heated at a rate of 1 K/min to 433 K. The temperature was held at 433 K for three days before it was decreased, at a rate of 0.1 K/min, to 353 K where it was then held for 6 h. Finally, the temperature was decreased at a rate of 0.1 K/min to room temperature. Colorless blocks of (I) were hand picked from the reaction and used for single-crystal analyses.
The atoms of the minor nitrate disorder component were refined with Uiso values. The hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and included as riding atoms. The final difference map extrema are +0.84 e-/Å3 (0.98 Å from Zn1) and -0.52 e-/Å3 (0.51 Å from O1B).
The title compound, (I), was solvothermally synthesized from Zn(NO3)2 and 1,2,4–1H-triazole (Htrz) in a 1:1 molar ratio in an ethanol/water solvent mixture. Single crystal X-ray analysis determined that the transparent crystals contain a complicated three-dimensional atomic network whose asymmetric unit is shown in Figure 1. There are two crystallographically distinct Zn centers (Figure 2). Zn1 atoms are in a tetrahedral coordination sphere, coordinated to three trz ligands and one disordered NO3. Zn2 atoms are in an octahedral coordination sphere, coordinated to six trz ligands (Figure 2 b). The nitrate anion coordinated to Zn1 is disordered over two independent positions in the asymmetric unit, and three positions when the mirror symmetry of the crystal is taken into account, in the proportion 40/40/20 (Figure 2a). Each Zn center forms its own one-dimensional chain/column along the a axis through the anionic bridging mode of the trz ligands, whose connectives generate a three-dimensional structure (Figure 3). Zn2 and its ligands form infinite one-dimensional chains down the a axis. These one-dimensional chains propagate by the N1,N2 bridging mode (see Figure 4) of the trz ligands. Each Zn2 one-dimensional chain is bridged via a N4 mode to columns of tetrahedrally coordinated Zn1 atoms. The Zn—O and Zn—N bond distances (Table 1) are comparable to those in an isostructural complex synthesized with Co (Ouellette et al., 2006). Additionally, the bridging characteristics of trz in [Zn2(trz)3(NO3)] are similar to our previous work involving trz and ZnF, in that all trz ring nitrogen atoms coordinate to the Zn centers through an N1,N2,N4 bridging mode (Goforth et al., 2005; Su et al., 2004).

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 title compound, (I), was solvothermally synthesized from Zn(NO3)2 and 1,2,4–1H-triazole (Htrz) in a 1:1 molar ratio in an ethanol/water solvent mixture. Single crystal X-ray analysis determined that the transparent crystals contain a complicated three-dimensional atomic network whose asymmetric unit is shown in Figure 1. There are two crystallographically distinct Zn centers (Figure 2). Zn1 atoms are in a tetrahedral coordination sphere, coordinated to three trz ligands and one disordered NO3. Zn2 atoms are in an octahedral coordination sphere, coordinated to six trz ligands (Figure 2 b). The nitrate anion coordinated to Zn1 is disordered over two independent positions in the asymmetric unit, and three positions when the mirror symmetry of the crystal is taken into account, in the proportion 40/40/20 (Figure 2a). Each Zn center forms its own one-dimensional chain/column along the a axis through the anionic bridging mode of the trz ligands, whose connectives generate a three-dimensional structure (Figure 3). Zn2 and its ligands form infinite one-dimensional chains down the a axis. These one-dimensional chains propagate by the N1,N2 bridging mode (see Figure 4) of the trz ligands. Each Zn2 one-dimensional chain is bridged via a N4 mode to columns of tetrahedrally coordinated Zn1 atoms. The Zn—O and Zn—N bond distances (Table 1) are comparable to those in an isostructural complex synthesized with Co (Ouellette et al., 2006). Additionally, the bridging characteristics of trz in [Zn2(trz)3(NO3)] are similar to our previous work involving trz and ZnF, in that all trz ring nitrogen atoms coordinate to the Zn centers through an N1,N2,N4 bridging mode (Goforth et al., 2005; Su et al., 2004).
