In the crystal structure of the neutral polymeric title compound, [Zn(C2HN2S3)2]n, the ZnII atom is located at a site of 2 symmetry and is coordinated by four S atoms of four symmetry-related 5-thioxo-1H-1,2,4-thia­diazole-3-thiol­ate ligands in a tetra­hedral geometry, with S—Zn distances of 2.3343 (6) and 2.3560 (6) Å, and S—Zn—S angles ranging from 103.78 (3) to 112.572 (17)°. Each of the ligands bridges two ZnII atoms through two terminal S atoms, leading to the formation of a chiral two-dimensional layer containing homochiral helical chains. However, in the crystal structure, adjacent layers have opposite chirality and are connected into a three-dimensional network by N—H...S hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

The structures of free 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiodiazole (Bats, 1976) and some of its metal-complexes (Li et al., 2005; Mura et al., 1985; Ma et al., 2004a,b; Qiu et al., 2006; Tannai et al., 2003, 2005, 2006; Tzeng et al., 2007) have been reported. In such complexes, the 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiodiazole ligand shows different valences and different coordination modes. Herein, we report a neutral ZnII complex, [Zn(C2HN2S3)2]n, with the above ligand.

As shown in Fig. 1, the ZnII atom lies at a site of 2 symmetry. It is four-coordinated by four symmetry related 5-thioxo-1H-1,2,4-thiadiazole-3-thiolate ligands through their S atoms to form a tetrahedral geometry. The S—Zn distances are 2.3343 (6) and 2.3560 (6) Å, and S—Zn—S angles range from 103.78 (3) to 112.572 (17)° (Table 1). Each of the ligand coordinates to two ZnII atoms through the two terminal S atoms to form a chiral two-dimensional layer (Fig. 2) containing homochiral helical chains (left- or right-hand single helical chain). The separation of ZnII atom across the ligand is 7.779 (6) Å and the screw-pitch is 7.604 (5) Å. However, in the crystal structure, adjacent layers have opposite chirality, and were connected into a three-dimensional network by N—H···S hydrogen bonds (see Table 2).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. A mixture of ZnCl2 (27 mg, 0.2 mmol) and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiodiazole (60 mg, 0.4 mmol) in water (10 ml) was placed in a Teflon-lined stainless-steel Parr bomb. The bomb was heated at 413 K for 30 h and then allowed to cool to room temperature; colourless crystals were isolated in about 20% yield. FT—IR (KBr pellets, cm-1): 3157m, 1593w, 1478 s, 1411m, 1297m, 1124 s, 1103 s, 1036 s, 734m, 668w, 581w, 544m.

Refinement top

Atom H1 was located in a difference map and refined isotropically, with an N—H distance restraint of 0.90 (1) Å.

Special details top

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.
