New coordination compounds with the 4,4′-bi-1,2,4-triazole ligand (btr), namely tetra­aqua-2κ4O-di-μ2-4,4′-bi-1,2,4-tri­azole-1:2κ2N1:N1′;2:3κ2N1:N1′-hexa­chlorido-1κ3Cl,3κ3Cl-tri­zinc(II), [Zn3Cl6(C4H4N6)2(H2O)4], (I), and poly[cadmium(II)-μ2-4,4′-bi-1,2,4-triazole-κ2N1:N2-di-μ2-chlorido], [CdCl2(C4H4N6)]n, (II), reveal an unprecedented mol­ecular zwitterionic structure for (I) and a polymeric two-dimensional layer structure for (II). Differences between these products, which involve the formation of either charge-separated chloro­metallate/aqua­metal fragments or complementary organic and inorganic bridges, are attributable to the hardness–softness characters of the metal cations. In (I), two N1,N1′-bidentate btr mol­ecules connect one [Zn(H2O)4]2+ cation and two [ZnCl3] anions into a linear trizinc motif (the Zn atom of the cation occupies a centre of inversion in an N2O4 coordination octa­hedron, whereas the Zn atom of the anion possesses a distorted tetra­hedral Cl3N environment). In (II), the distorted vertex-sharing CdCl4N2 octa­hedra are linked into binuclear [Cd22-Cl)(μ2-btr)2]3+ fragments by unprecedented N1:N2-bidentate btr double bridges and bridging chloride ligands, while the additional chloride anions are also bridging, providing further propagation of the fragments into a two-dimensional network [Cd—Cl = 2.5869 (2)–2.6248 (7) Å].

Comment top

The cooperative assembly of small inorganic bridging anions (e.g. halogenides), short organic chelating N-donor bridges (e.g. 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, trz) and transition metal cations provides many possibilities for the development of organic–inorganic frameworks. In a series of CdII- and ZnII-1,2,4-triazolates, the combined role of the anionic components is to connect the metal clusters and to participate in the framework connectivity (Ouellette et al., 2007), while utilization of halogenide anions in ZnF2-trz (Su et al., 2004) and CdCl2-trz (Yi et al., 2004) leads to hollow tubular architectures and materials with luminescent properties. The use of the bitopic 4,4'-bi-(1,2,4-triazole) (btr) instead of simple monofunctional triazole ligands involves the rational propagation of the characteristic nodal units into the lattice by means of the doubled triazole functionalities. In particular, such a combination of bitopic triazole and chloride bridges contributes to the formation of eight-connected coordination frameworks involving linear tricopper(II) secondary building blocks (Lysenko et al., 2007). The combined behaviour of the btr molecule and Cl-, as a co-ligand pair, is still unexplored. We wished to correlate this behaviour with the hardness–softness character of the metal cation. To this end, we have examined ZnII/CdII-btr-Cl- systems and we report here the structures of two new complexes, [Zn(H2O)42-btr)2(ZnCl3)2], (I), and [Cd(µ2-Cl)22-btr)]n, (II).

The molecular trinuclear coordination compound, (I) (Fig. 1), is realised by consecutive interconnection of the Zn ions by two N1,N1'-bitriazole bridges [Zn2—N4 = 2.0545 (18) Å and Zn1—N1 = 2.0930 (17) Å], and involves a cationic part (Zn1) and two outer anionic centres (Zn2). The central Zn1 atom of the cationic fragment lies on an inversion centre and possesses an octahedral N2O4 environment involving two N atoms from btr molecules in trans positions and four aqua ligands in the basal plane [Zn1—O = 2.136 (2) and 2.1091 (17) Å], as has been observed for zwitterionic Zn-pyridine complexes, e.g. Zn(H2O)4(pyridine-3-sulfonate-N)2 (Walsh & Hathaway, 1980). The terminal Zn2 atoms of the anionic fragments display a distorted tetrahedral Cl3N environment [Zn2—Cl = 2.2305 (7)–2.2658 (7) Å], which is similar to that observed for the anion in [LH][Zn(L)Cl3] (L = quinoline; Wang et al., 2001). A few examples of charge-separated aquazinc(II)/trichlorozincate(II) arrays have been provided by organic N-donors such as urotropine (Mak & Huang, 1987) and 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione (Jin et al., 2005), but the zwitterionic trinuclear molecule of (I) has no counterpart in the chemistry of zinc(II) chloride and non-chelating nitrogen ligands.

The noncoordinated N atoms of the btr molecules of (I) participate in intermolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds, one type of which, H4W···N2v (see Table 2 for details), connects the molecular complexes into chains. In terms of the graph-set formalism (Etter et al., 1990), pairs of such intermolecular interactions lead to ten-membered R22(10) rings translated parallel to the a axis (Fig. 1), while pairs of somewhat stronger H3W···N5iv interactions link the molecules into layers parallel to the bc plane. Thus, the set of O—H···N bonds leads to a three-dimensional array. The role of O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds is also important. These intermolecular interactions generate a two-dimensional packing pattern, parallel to (102) (Fig. 2), employing four of the six available Cl atoms as hydrogen-bond acceptors. Pairs of weaker C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999) are observed between molecules related by inversion and, in total, the terminal ZnCl3- units are involved in four hydrogen bonds.

The less polarizing Cd2+ cation, as a weaker Lewis acid, forces the Cl- anions to behave as co-bridging linkers, resulting in the formation of the more complicated polymeric architecture in the structure of (II). The N2Cl4 coordination environment of the Cd1 ion is realised as a distorted octahedron comprising four bonds with Cl- anions [Cd1—Cl = 2.5869 (2)–2.6248 (7) Å], the lengths of which are typical of compounds with the same coordination environment (Villa et al., 1971). The coordination is completed by N atoms of the organic ligand located in cis positions [Cd1—N = 2.386 (2) and 2.382 (2) Å]. Such a configuration of a CdN2Cl4 octahedron is uncommon among complexes with non-chelating N-donor ligands [e.g. Cd(piperazine)Cl2 (Vaidhyanathan et al., 2003)] (Fig. 3).

Both organic and inorganic ligands bridge the metal ions of (II) and they contribute to the overall connectivity as complementary linkers. Thus, pairs of Cd ions are bridged by Cl2 [Cd1—Cl2—Cd1i = 98.25 (1)°; symmetry code: (i) -x + 1, y, -z + 3/2] and two N1,N2-bidentate triazoles, similar to the pattern observed in [{Cd32-L)42-Cl)2}(µ2-NCS)2(NCS)2](H2O)2 [L = 4-amino-3,5-dimethyltriazole (Yi et al., 2004)], yielding the primary dinuclear unit of the structure. This coordination mode of the bitriazole ligand is unprecedented; it behaves as a monofunctional triazole, leaving the second available trz ring non-coordinated. Interconnection of the dinuclear units occurs entirely via the Cl- ligands, which function as either single or double bridges between the Cd ions. Two Cl3 atoms act as µ2 double bridges between the [Cd22-btr)22-Cl2)]3+ binuclear fragments [Cd1—Cl3—Cd1ii = 87.59 (2)°; symmetry code: (ii) -x + 1, -y, -z + 2] and assemble them into zigzag [Cd22-btr)22-Cl2)(µ2-Cl3)2]nn+ chains running parallel to the c axis with a Cd1···Cd1ii separation of 3.6210 (4) Å. The chains are connected into a two-dimensional coordination network parallel to the bc plane by means of Cl1 anions, which lie on inversion centres and supply unusual linear interlinks between the Cd ions [Cd1···Cd1vi = 5.1737 (5) Å; symmetry code: (vi) -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 2]. This geometry at a bridging Cl- is rare; it has been observed for a few anionic complexes such as (MeNH3)2[CdCl4] (Chapuis et al., 1975). The successive coordination sheets are separated by 10.39 Å and their non-coordinated trz termini are interdigitated, supporting very weak interlayer C—H···N hydrogen bonding (Table 4, Fig. 5).

In conclusion, we have demonstrated how the structure of MCl2–btr coordination compounds depends upon the Lewis nature of the dication (Zn2+ or Cd2+). Cooperation of the bitriazole and Cl- bridges is relevant for the polymeric array adopted by soft Cd2+ ions and this provides a paradigm for hybrid organic–inorganic structures of polyfunctional triazoles, whereas for strongly polarizing Zn2+, the ligands are not complementary and produce two distinct coordination geometries within a zwitterionic molecular complex.

Experimental top

All materials were of reagent grade and were used as received. The btr ligand was prepared according to the reported procedure of Bartlett & Humphrey (1967). The title coordination compounds, (I) and (II), were synthesized in a similar manner. Evaporation of mixed aqueous solutions (3 ml) of CdCl2.H2O (0.0402 g, 0.2 mmol) and btr (0.0136 g, 0.1 mmol) in a desiccator over H2SO4 for a few days afforded colourless prisms of (II) (yield 84%). Analogously, compound (I) was prepared in 65% yield.

Refinement top

For (I), O-bound H atoms were found in intermediate Fourier maps and were refined fully with isotropic displacement parameters and with restraints for the O—H bond lengths [O—H = 0.79 (2)–0.81 (2) Å]. For both structures, C-bound H atoms were treated as riding in geometrically idealized positions, with C—H = 0.94 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.

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.
