The title complex, [Zn(C15H22BN6)(C2H3O2)] or (TpMe,Me)Zn(OAc), contains a tripodal tris(pyrazolyl)hydro­borate ligand, a monodentate acetate ligand and a ZnII centre in a distorted tetra­hedral coordination environment capped on one triangular face by a secondary Zn...O inter­action with the second O atom of the acetate ligand. The four-coordination of ZnII and the essentially monodentate character of the acetate ligand are due to the high steric demands of the ligand set, which prevent chelate formation and five-coordination and lead to relatively long Zn—O and Zn—N bonds compared with related complexes of ZnII and other metals.

Comment top

Metal complexes containing hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands, TpR,R' or [HB(3-R,5-R'Pz)3]- (R, R' = H, alkyl or aryl), have been investigated widely by inorganic, organometallic and bioinorganic chemists (Trofimenko, 1993, 1999; Kitajima & Tolman, 1995). This popularity has resulted from their ease of preparation and wide variation of their steric and electronic properties by the use of different substituents on the pyrazole rings. Numerous studies have been performed to synthesize stable tetrahedral metal complexes MX(TpR,R') (M = Zn, Cd, Cu; X = Cl, OAc) by the use of these sterically demanding tridentate N-donor ligands to model the structure and function of the active site of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme (Guo et al., 1998; Vahrenkamp, 1999; Looney et al., 1993). The title complex, (I), has been prepared as one such model, and its structure has been determined to confirm the tetrahedral coordination and monomeric formulation. The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1, and selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1.

ZnII, as a d10 ion without a crystal field-stabilization energy preference for any particular coordination geometry, exhibits a very flexible and varied coordination chemistry. The most common coordination numbers are 4, 5 and 6, represented by structures in the approximate ratio 2:1:1 in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.30 with updates to May 2009; Allen, 2002). Tetrahedral coordination (regular or distorted) is promoted by bulky ligands, including substituted TpR,R' ligands, as in the case of complex (I). Here the primary coordination is distorted tetrahedral, with an essentially regular tripodal arrangement for TpMe,Me and a monodentate acetate ligand; the Zn1—O1 bond length is 1.9217 (17) Å, while the non-bonded Zn1···O2 distance is 2.6033 (18) Å.

Complex (I) is almost isostructural with the corresponding NiII complex (Hikichi et al., 2002), and there is an r.m.s. deviation of only 0.028 Å for a least-squares overlay of the two MN6B units. However, the nickel complex is clearly five-coordinate, with a more nearly symmetrically chelating acetate ligand, giving Ni—O bond lengths of 2.013 and 2.131 Å, a difference of only 0.118 Å, compared with 0.681 Å for the title zinc complex. Of the 25 (TpR,R')Zn(carboxylate) complexes in the CSD, 19 have a monodentate carboxylate ligand, five are chelate complexes and one contains both geometries.

As an alternative description, if the weaker but not insignificant secondary Zn1···O2 interaction is included, the coordination of Zn1 is monocapped tetrahedral, this interaction capping the N2/N4/O1 triangular face. The distortion of the tetrahedral geometry by the capping atom O2 is towards trigonal–bipyramidal, with atoms N2, N4 and O1 in the equatorial plane, and atoms N6 and O2 in axial sites. It might be expected that strengthening of the secondary Zn···O interaction relative to the primary Zn—O bond would tend to equalize the two carboxylate C—O bond lengths, the carboxylate group being delocalized as a symmetrical chelate ligand and having essentially localized single (coordinated O) and double (uncoordinated O) C—O bonds in monodentate mode, but an analysis of relevant four- and five-coordinate zinc complexes with acetate ligands in the CSD (of which there are approximately 100), using the CSD VISTA tool, shows only weak correlation. Indeed, there are numerous cases in which the C—O bonds have relative lengths opposite to the expected pattern, with what appears on this criterion to be the carbonyl O atom coordinated to Zn1. In the title zinc complex, which we prefer to describe as primarily tetrahedral with significant distortion through a secondary capping interaction, the difference in C—O bond lengths, 0.070 Å, is not much greater than in the corresponding nickel complex (0.056 Å), which is certainly better described as five-coordinate with two Ni—O bonds of similar strength. Irregular and intermediate coordination geometries are, of course, very much a matter of interpretation.

Although there are over 3000 known structures of metal complexes with TpR,R' ligands, of which almost 300 are zinc complexes, and nearly one-third of the metal complexes contain specifically the TpMe,Me ligand featured here, only four zinc complexes of TpMe,Me have previously been reported. Of these, two are octahedral Zn(TpMe,Me)2, one of them unsolvated and the other a toluene solvate, and the other two are (TpMe,Me)ZnCl and (TpMe,Me)ZnMe, both tetrahedral. There are 189 four-coordinate (TpR,R')ZnL structures in the CSD (L = any monodentate ligand), in 69 of which L coordinates to Zn through an O atom. The range of Zn—O bond lengths in these 69 structures is 1.793–1.977 Å, with a mean of 1.879 Å. The Zn1—O1 bond in the title complex is one of the longest of these, at 1.9217 (17) Å, while complexes with the shortest Zn—O bonds include hydroxy complexes (TpR,R')ZnOH (Alsfasser et al., 1991; Ruf & Vahrenkamp, 1996). This, together with the fact that the Zn—N bonds here are marginally longer than the corresponding Ni—N bonds in the nickel(II) analogue (Hikichi et al., 2002), despite the smaller normal covalent radius of ZnII compared with NiII, is a clear indication of the steric hindrance of the ligands in the title complex, which we have suggested as being responsible for the four- rather than five-coordination in this case.

Experimental top

Zinc acetate dihydrate (0.1 g, 0.45 mmol) and potassium hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate (0.153 g, 0.45 mmol) (Trofimenko, 1967) were added to acetone (30 ml). The mixture was stirred for 6 h and then evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was washed with diethyl ether (2 × 5 ml) and n-pentane (2 × 5 ml) and air-dried to give a white powder (0.123 g, 72% based on Zn). Colourless single crystals of the title complex, (I), were obtained from an acetone solution by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature. The air-stable crystals of (I) are slightly soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide.

The FT–IR spectrum of (I) exhibits a medium-intensity feature at 2532.85 cm-1, characteristic of the stretching vibration of the B—H bond in the TpMe,Me ligand. It is difficult to identify features due to the asymmetric and symmetric vibrations of the coordinated acetate, because the TpMe,Me ligand gives vibrational bands in the same regions.

Refinement top

H atoms were located in a difference map. The H atom bonded to B was refined freely. The remaining H atoms were idealized and refined with a riding model, including free rotation about C—C bonds, with C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å, and with Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C), or 1.2Ueq(C) for ring C atoms.
