Comment top

We report here the X-ray crystal structure analysis of diaquadiacetylacetonatozinc(II), (I). We have recently synthesized the purple coordination polymer (1) (see Scheme) from CuBr2 and 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroxybenzene (Dinnebier et al., 2002) and have now become interested in the physical and chemical properties of the dinuclear transition metal complex (2) (see Scheme). We have therefore prepared (I), the synthesis of which has been achieved according to a literature procedure (Rudolph & Henry, 1967) as indicated in the reaction Scheme.

In (I), the Zn atom is located on a centre of inversion and the asymmetric unit contains one acetylacetonate anion and one water molecule. The acetylacetonate is almost planar (r.m.s.d. = 0.043 Å for all seven non-H atoms). The Zn atom is displaced from this plane by 0.466 (1) Å. The bond from Zn to the water molecule is significantly longer than the bonds to the acetylacetone O atoms (see Table 1). The crystal packing is stabilized by hydrogen bonds (see Table 2) from the water molecule to the two acetylacetonate O atoms.

The title compound is isostructural with the Co (Bullen, 1959; Laugier & Mathieu, 1975), Mg (Morosin, 1967), Ni (Montgomery & Lingafelter, 1964), Mn (Montgomery & Lingafelter, 1968; Onuma & Shibata, 1970), Fe (Laugier & Mathieu, 1975; Tsodikov et al., 1995) complexes.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by stirring a slurry of ZnSO4, 2,4-pentadione, NaOH and water at ambient temperature. After 1 h, (I) precipitated quantitatively and was filtered off. After washing, the title compound was recrystalized from ethyl acetate (yield 64%).

Refinement top

H atoms bonded to C atoms were refined with fixed individual displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5 Ueq(Cmethyl)] using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å or methyl C—H = 0.98 Å, respectively. The methyl groups were allowed to rotate but not to tip. The H atoms bonded to O were refined isotropically.

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.
