合成了2個配位聚合物{[Zn(ip)(Eim)2]·H2O}(1)和Zn(ip)(Mim)2(2)(ip為間苯苯二甲酸陰離子，Eim為1-乙基咪唑，Mim為1-甲基咪唑)，并用X射線單晶衍射儀測定了其晶體結構。2個配合物的結構中都含有沿晶體a軸方向的zigzag聚合鏈,每個Zn原子分別與2個來自不同間苯二甲酸離子氧原子和2個來自乙基咪唑或甲基咪唑的N原子配位，形成了配位四面體。在配合聚合物2中各鏈間只存在范德法力相互作用，而在配合物1中一維鏈通過O-H…O氫鍵相互作用進一步連接形成了三維網絡結構。電化學研究表明在配合物1和2中Zn2+/Zn+對的氧化還原是一個準可逆的過程。

The crystal engineering approach is extensively used to control material structure and dimensionality[1-3].The crystal engineering of coordination polymers has held great potential for applications in many areas,such as molecularmagnetism,heterogeneous catalysis,molecular sieving,storage,and non-linear optics[4-9].Bridging metals with organic ligands is used to construct lower dimensional coordination polymers,which can be further assembled by hydrogen-bonding,π-π interaction or other intermolecular contacts to formextended networks with higher dimensionality[10-12].On the other hand,more subtle conditions can also be used to modify structures,such as choice of solvents or counter ions.By judicious choice of bridging ligands and metal coordination geometries,control over the topology and geometry of the infinite networks can be gained.

Lots of Zn（Ⅱ）coordination polymers based on isophthalate as bridging ligands and N-donors as auxiliary ligands have been reported[13-20],but ones containing N-donors of imidazole derivatives are rare[21-23].Imidazole derivatives can not only coordinate with metal ion,but also donate hydrogen bonds,which may result in the formation of higher dimensional structures.

Here we report on crystal structures and characterization of two coordination polymers,{[Zn(ip)(Eim)2]·H2O}(1)and Zn(ip)(Mim)2(2).The 1D Zigzag chains in 1 and 2 are assembled to form 3D networks by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions,respectively.

1 Experimental

1.1 Materials and instruments

All the chemical reagents for synthesizing the title compounds were purchased commercially and used without further purification.Elemental analyses(C,H and N)were carried out on a Perkin-Elmer 1400C analyzer.Voltammetry was performed by using a CHI 832B electrochemical analysis system (China)with a three-electrode system consisting of a glass carbon(GC)electrode(U=3 mm)as the working electrode,a saturated calomel electrode(SCE)as the reference electrode,and a platinum wire as the auxiliary electrode.All the electrochemical measurements were carried out in a 10 mL electrolyte cell with 0.01 mol·L-1pH 6.86 KH2PO4-Na2HPO4buffer solution as electrolyte.TG curve was recorded on a NETZSCH-TG209 GmbH thermoanalyser in flow of N2,in the temperature range from 20～700 ℃,with a heating rate of 10 ℃·min-1.

1.2 Preparation

Complex 1 was prepared as follows.ZnSO4·7H2O(1.15 g,4 mmol)was added to a solution of Eim(0.75 g,8 mmol)in 10 mL of distilled water and 40 mL of ethanol.The resulting solution was added to a solution of disodium isophthalate(0.84 g,4 mmol)in 10 mL of distilled water and 40 mL of ethanol(under continuous stirring at room temperature),and the mixture was refluxed for 7 h.The powder precipitate formed was filtered off,and the colorless filtrate was allowed to stay at ambient temperature for a period of about 3 weeks,gave 0.53 g (24%yields)of colorless block crystals suitable for structural determinations.Anal.Calcd.for C18H17ZnN4O5:C 49.27,H 4.82,N 12.77;found:C 50.01,H 4.99,N 12.82.

The colorless crystal of complex 2 was obtained by a similar procedure as for 1 except for using Mim(0.66 g,8 mmol)instead of Eim,yield:0.45g,49% .Anal.Calcd.for C16H16ZnN4O4:C 48.81,H 4.10,N 14.23;found:C 48.72,H 4.02,N 14.49.

1.3 Crystal structure determination

Single crystals of 1 and 2 were mounted on a Bruker SMART 1000 CCD area detector X-ray single crystaldiffractometerwith graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation(λ=0.071073 nm)and a φ/ω scanning mode at 293(2)K.Intensities were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects and empirical absorption.

The structure was solved by direct methods via SHELXS 97 program[24]and refined by full-matrix least squares on F2via SHELXL 97 program[25].All the nonhydrogen atoms were located from the difference Fourier map and refined anisotropically.H atoms were positioned geometrically (C-H=0.093 nm,0.096 nm)and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H)=1.2 times Ueq(C).Crystallographic data for 1 and 2 are listed in Table 1.

2 Result and discussion

2.1 Crystal structures

The X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that each Zn atom adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry formed by two N atoms from Eim or Mim molecules and two O atoms of different ip ligands(Fig.1).The complexes 1 and 2 contain infinite 1D polymeric zigzag chains consisting of[Zn(L)2](L=Eim for 1;Mim for 2)building units connected by bridging isophthalate ligands in the μ2-1,3 coordination mode.Fig.2a and Fig.2b show a fragment of the chains in the complexes 1 and 2 respectively.The Zn-O and Zn-N bond lengths are comparable to those of the structurally analogous complex[Zn(ip)(im)2]n·3nH2O(Zn-O=0.198 0(2)and 0.193 3(3)nm,Zn-N=0.200 0(3)and 0.201 1(3)nm)[21].The bond angles for Zn atoms in the complexes 1 and 2 lie in the range of 95.5(3)°～114.9(3)°and 96.6(18)°～117.2(19)°,respectively.(Table 2)In the bridging isophthalate anions with amphimonodentate coordination mode，the average C-O distance for the coordinated oxygen atom(0.128 5(10)nm in 1 and 0.128 7(6)nm in 2)is slightly longer than for uncoordinated ones(0.1221(10)nm in 1 and 0.1208(6)nm in 2).The carboxylate groups and benzene rings in 1 are almost coplanar,but the dihedral angle between two carboxylates in 2 is 35.33(3)°.

In the complexes 1 and 2,the polymer backbone propagates along the crystallographic a-axis.The metalmetal distances across each polymer backbone are 0.959 4(21)nm in 1 and 0.968 2(21)nm in 2,which are shorter than those found in[Zn(ip)(im)2]n·3nH2O(1.039 1(14)nm)[21].The closest metal-metal distances between neighboring strands for 1 are 0.905 5(21)nm,which are longer than those of 0.6734(17)nm and 0.743 8(14)nm in 2 and[Zn(ip)(im)2]n·3nH2O[21],respectively.

Table 2 Selected bond lengths(nm)and bond angles(°)for the complexes

In the complex 1,the adjacent metal-organic chains are connected into a 3D network via hydrogen bondsbetween solventwatermoleculesand the uncoordinated oxygen atoms of the carboxylate groups(Ow-HWA…O(4)=0.291 0(14)nm),which control thepacking of the adjacent chains(Fig.3a and Table 3).In complex 2 there are only van der Waals interactions between the adjacent chains in contrast to 1(Fig.3b).Some potentially weak(C-H…O)intramolecular interactions exist in the complexes 1 and 2(Table 3),which further stabilize the structures of zigzag chains.

2.2 Thermal properties

Thermal analyses of the complex 1 reveal that the first weight loss of about 4.95% occurs in the temperature range of 82～250℃,which corresponds to the loss of water molecules (calculated 4.14%).On further heating polymeric chains decompose via two unidentified steps in the temperature range of 250～580℃ and the weight loss of 79.04%was ascribed to the release of Eim and ip ligands.(calculated 78.21%).The final product was ZnO with the remaining percentage of16.68%(calculated 17.65%).For the complex 2 the first weight loss of 40.38%around 220～390 ℃ corresponds to the loss of two Mim molecules(calculated 41.71%).In the temperature range of 390～520 ℃ weight loss of 38.17% was ascribed to the release of ip ligand(calculated 37.59%),to give the expected oxides(observed 18.95%,calculated 20.61%).

2.3 Electrochemistry

Typical cyclic voltammetry curves for the complexes 1 and 2 in 0.01 mol·L-1pH 6.86 KH2PO4-Na2HPO4buffer solutions are shown in Fig.4.

Fig.4 Cyclic voltammetry of 3.00×10-4mol·L-1complexes 1 and 2 in 0.01 mol·L-1pH 6.86 KH2PO4-Na2HPO4buffer solution,at a scan rate:0.03 V·s-1

The complexes 1 and 2 at 0.03 V·s-1have anodic peaks at-1.161 V and-1.141 V,and cathodic peaks at-1.345 V and-1.282 V,respectively,corresponding to the electrochemical process of Zn2+/Zn+[26].The separations of the cathodic and anodic peaks potential,ΔE=0.184 V for 1 and 0.141 V for 2,indicate that the electrochemical behaviors of both complexes 1 and 2 on the glass carbon electrode are quasi-reversible processes.

Two Zn（Ⅱ） coordination polymers{[Zn(ip)(Eim)2]·H2O}(1)and Zn(ip)(Mim)2(2)(where ip2-=isophthalate dianion;Eim=1-ethyl-1H-imidazole;Mim=1-methyl-1H-imidazole),have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffractometry.Complexes 1 and 2 contain polymeric zigzag chains extended along a axis,and each Zn（Ⅱ）atom is tetrahedrally coordinated to two O atoms from different isophthalate ions and two N atoms from Eim or Mim.There are only van der Waals interactions between the chains in 2,while 1D Zigzag chains in 1 are connected to form a 3D network by O-H…O contacts.The electrochemical studies reveal that redoxes of Zn2+/Zn+in the complexes 1 and 2 are quasi-reversible processes.CCDC:762257,1;762258,2.
