The ligand L was prepared according to the previous method (Ye et al., 2004). 1,4-Diaminobenzene (2.14 mg, 10 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (20 ml), followed by addition of 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (4.24 mg, 40 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then filtered. The resulting yellow crystalline solid was washed with methanol several times and dried in air. A solution of Zn(NO3)2 (35.9 mg, 0.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 ml) was slowly layered onto a solution of L (117 mg, 0.625 mmol) in methylene chloride (12 ml). Diffusion between the two phases over two weeks produced colorless crystals of the title compound.
H atoms bound to C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The water H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and refined as riding atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The nitrate anion is disordered over two sets of sites. The occupancy factors were refined to a ratio of 0.744 (4):0.256 (4). The uncoordinated water molecule is also disordered with an occupancy factor of 0.744 (4).
Bipyridine-type ligands have been extensively investigated in recent years, owing to their simple structures, readily availabilities and predictable formation of network structures. Moreover, when introduced in double Schiff-base, a great deal of metal–organic frameworks with unusual network patterns and novel properties can be achieved due to the specific geometry including the different relative orientation of N-donors and the zigzag conformation of the space moiety between the two terminal coordination groups. For background to the design and syntheses of zinc complexes with Schiff-base and their potential applications as fluorescent probes, see: Su et al. (1999); Ye et al. (2005).
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the ZnII ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two N atoms from two N,N'-bis(3-pyridylmethylene)-p-phenylenediamine (L) ligands in the axial positions and four O atoms of four coordinated water molecules in the equatorial positions. The Zn—O distances are 2.0705 (17) and 2.1691 (19) Å and the Zn—N distance is 2.1462 (19) Å. As shown in Fig. 2, the complex cations, nitrate anions and uncoordinated water molecules are connected by O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), forming a layer structure.

Bipyridine-type ligands have been extensively investigated in recent years, owing to their simple structures, readily availabilities and predictable formation of network structures. Moreover, when introduced in double Schiff-base, a great deal of metal–organic frameworks with unusual network patterns and novel properties can be achieved due to the specific geometry including the different relative orientation of N-donors and the zigzag conformation of the space moiety between the two terminal coordination groups. For background to the design and syntheses of zinc complexes with Schiff-base and their potential applications as fluorescent probes, see: Su et al. (1999); Ye et al. (2005).
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the ZnII ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two N atoms from two N,N'-bis(3-pyridylmethylene)-p-phenylenediamine (L) ligands in the axial positions and four O atoms of four coordinated water molecules in the equatorial positions. The Zn—O distances are 2.0705 (17) and 2.1691 (19) Å and the Zn—N distance is 2.1462 (19) Å. As shown in Fig. 2, the complex cations, nitrate anions and uncoordinated water molecules are connected by O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), forming a layer structure.
