In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn(C3H2O4)(C12H8N2)(H2O)2], the ZnII atom displays a distorted octa­hedral geometry, being coordinated by two N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two O atoms from different carboxyl­ate groups of the chelating malonate dianion and two O atoms of cis water mol­ecules. The complex mol­ecules are linked to form a three-dimensional supramolecular array by both hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between coordinated water molecules and the uncoordinated carboxyl­ate O atoms of neighboring mol­ecules, and aromatic [pi]-[pi] stacking inter­actions between neighboring phenanthroline rings.

Comment top

There has been considerable interest in the design and synthesis of transition metal complexes with carboxylate ligands in coordination chemistry, as a result of the fact that this type of complex has potential application in molecular-based magnets, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry and biological systems (Li et al., 2002; Shi et al., 2000; Devereux et al., 2000). As an important dicarboxylate ligand, the malonate dianion may acts in a chelating bidentate manner and adopt different carboxylate bridging coordination modes, such as syn/syn, syn/anti and anti/anti (Li et al., 1997; Lightfoot et al.,1999; Lis et al., 1979; Muro et al., 1998). ZnII complexes with the malonate ligand have potential applications in modified metalloenzymes and in precursor systems for Zn-containing ceramic materials. Serval structures of ZnII complexes with malonate (mal) have been reported, viz. {Na2[Zn(mal)2·2H2O}n (Lin et al., 2003), Zn2(mal)2(pym)(H2O)]n.nH2O (pym is pyrimidine; Delgado et al., 2003) and [Zn2(H2O)2(mal)2(C4H4N2)] (Zhang et al., 2003). These structures were all found to be polymeric, with the malonate ligands serving as bridges. To the best of our knowledge, no mononuclear ZnII complexes with the malonate ligand in which malonate acts as a dicarboxylate chelating ligand have been reported. We report here the crystal structure of one such complex, diaquamalonato(1,10-phenanthroline)zinc(II), (I), with a dicaboxylate chelating malonate ligand.

The molecular structure of (I), shown in Fig. 1, consists of discrete monomers. A malonate dianion chelates the ZnII atom through two O atoms from different carboxylate groups. The ZnII atom is also coordinated by the two 1,10-phenanthroline N atoms and two O atoms of two cis water molecules. Each malonate ligand forms a six-membered chelate ring with one ZnII ion in a boat-type configuration; the malonate ligand acts only as a chelating ligand and does not act as a bridge between metal atoms. The carboxylate chelating coordination mode is similar to those of [Mn(mal)(bipy)(H2O)2] (bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine; Sain et al., 2003) and [Mn(mal)(phen)(H2O)2] (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline; Zhang et al.,2004). The ZnII atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination sphere with the bond angles ranging from 166.21 (6) to 172.07 (6)° for trans angles and from 77.05 (6) to 99.19 (6)° for the other bond angles (Table 1). The Zn—O(carboxylate) bond distances are 2.0618 (13) and 2.0646 (15) Å. In [Zn2(H2O)2(mal)2(C4H4N2)] (Zhang et al., 2003), the corresponding Zn—O(carboxylate) bond distances are 2.085 (2) and 2.082 (3) Å; the difference is probably due to the effect of the chelating coordination in (I). The Zn—O(water) distances of 2.1152 (17) and 2.1364 (16) Å are comparable to those found in [Zn2(mal)2(pym)(H2O)]n.nH2O [2.175 (4) Å; Delgado et al., 2003]. The Zn—N bond lengths are 2.1601 (17) and 2.1745 (17) Å, somewhat longer than in [Zn(male)(H2O)(phen)]n [2.1295 (17) and 2.1741 (19) Å; male is maleate; Li et al., 2005].

As shown in Fig. 2, the molecular packing of (I) exhibits a three-dimensional supramolecular structure in which both hydrogen-bonding and ππ stacking interactions play an important role. The complex molecules are linked to one another through hydrogen bonds between coordinated water molecules and the uncoordinated carboxylate O atoms of neighboring molecules to form layers in the crystal structure (Table 2). Neighboring layers are linked to each other through ππ stacking interactions between the phen rings of adjacent molecules, characterized by interplanar distances in the range 3.446 (14) to 3.542 (14) Å.

Experimental top

ZnO (0.162 g, 2 mmol) was added slowly to an aqueous solution (15 ml) of malonic acid (0.104 g, 1 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for one hour at 353 K, and then an ethanol solution (5 ml) of 1,10-phenanthroline (0.198 g, 1 mmol) was added with continuous stirring. After half an hour, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. Colorless single crystals were obtained from the filtrate after two weeks.

Refinement top

The water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and their positional parameters were refined freely [or with O—H distances restrained to 0.XX (s.u.) Å?]; their Uiso(H) values were fixed at 0.063 Å2. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with C—H bond lengths of 0.93 or 0.97 Å [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.
