Abstract

In the title homochiral mononuclear compound, [Zn(NO₃)₂(C₆H₁₂N₄O₂)₂], the Zn^II atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and coordinated by two N atoms from two ligands and two O atoms from two NO₃ ⁻ anions, adopting a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The compound is enantiomerically pure and corresponds to the S diastereoisomer, with the optical activity originating from the chiral ligand. In the crystal, molecules are connected into three-dimensional supramolecular networks through O—H (...)

Comment

Chiral coordination complexes have received considerable attention due to their potential applications in the area of ferroelectrics, enantiopure catalysis and separation (Hang et al., 2011; Lin et al., 2010). Among the different approaches to synthesize chiral coordination compounds, the most effective synthetic strategy is to use optically pure chiral ligands. Herein, we report a chiral zinc coordination compound (S)-[Zn(deoatrz)₂(NO₃)₂], by using an enantiopure (1S,1'S)-1,1'-(4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diyl)diethanol (deoatrz), reacting with zinc salts. Furthermore, its structure is characterized.

Single crystal structural analysis reveals that the title compound crystallizes in the tetragonal system, chiral space group P4₁2₁2. The title compound is a mononuclear and its asymmetric unit consists of one Zn atom, two deoatrz ligands and two NO₃– anions (Fig. 1). The Zn atom is coordinated by two N atoms (N1, N1A) from two deoatrz ligands and two NO₃– anions (O3, O3A), adopting a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The Zn—O and Zn—N bond lengths are 2.071 (2) and 2.024 (1) Å, respectively. The bond angles around Zn atom vary from 95.9 (8) to 143.5 (1)^o.

As shown in Fig. 2, the interesting H-bonds are observed in the title compound. The fundamentally units are one dimensional chiral hydrogen bond chains along c axis, and subsequently the chains are connected into three-dimensional chiral supramolecular networks through O—H···O, O—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen bond interactions.

Experimental

An 10 ml ethanol solution of (1S,1'S)-1,1'-(4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole -3,5-diyl)diethanol (0.2 mmol, 0.0344 g) and Zn(NO₃)₂.₆H₂O (0.10 mmol, 0.0298 g) was stirred for five minutes and then filtered. The filtrate was carefully layered with 10 ml ethyl ether. After one week, colorless needle-like crystals of the title compound were obtained. Yield: 45%.

Special details

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.
