[[mu]-N,N'-Bis­(pyridin-3-yl)benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide-1:2[kappa]2N:N']bis­{[N,N'-bis­(pyridin-3-yl)benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide-[kappa]N]di­iodidomercury(II)}, [Hg2I4(C18H14N4O2)3], is an S-shaped dinuclear mol­ecule, composed of two HgI2 units and three N,N'-bis­(pyridin-3-yl)benzene-1,4-di­car­boxamide (L) ligands. The central L ligand is centrosymmetric and coordinated to two HgII cations via two pyridine N atoms, in a syn-syn conformation. The two terminal L ligands are monodentate, with one uncoordinated pyridine N atom, and each adopts a syn-anti conformation. The HgI2 units show highly distorted tetra­hedral (sawhorse) geometry, as the HgII centres lie only 0.34 (2) or 0.32 (2) Å from the planes defined by the I and pyridine N atoms. Supra­molecular inter­actions, thermal stability and solid-state luminescence properties were also measured.

Comment top

In the past decade, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted wide attention due to their potential applications in catalysis, gas storage, electronics, luminescence, molecular sensing, porous materials, magnetic devices and nanosized materials (Luo et al., 2012; Zeng et al., 2010; PrakashaReddy & Pedireddi, 2007; Wei et al., 2006). They often have inherently varied structures, for instance polyrotaxane or interpenetrating nets or polycatenane topological matrices (Adarsh & Dastidar, 2011), and many combinations of metals or metal clusters and organic ligands can make MOFs (Sun, Luo et al., 2012). Therefore, the proper choice of organic ligands with different functionalities and of the metal ion may result in specific supramolecular structures containing one-, two- or three-dimensional networks (Tsai et al., 2010). The linear rigid ligand N,N'-bis(pyridin-3-yl)benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide (L) has recently been synthesized and reacted with metal salts that result in the formation of one-, two- and even three-dimensional coordination networks (Tsai et al., 2010). The L ligand coordinates to the metal centre through its pyridyl N atoms and interacts with other ligand molecules via hydrogen bonds involving the amide groups, which are significant for molecular recognition and building supramolecular frameworks (Rajput & Biradha, 2009; Adarsh et al., 2009). Against this background, we report here the title complex, (I), formed from the L ligand and iodine ligands coordinated to the HgII metal centre. In addition, we also discuss the synthesis, structure, thermostability and solid-state photoluminescence properties of (I).

Compound (I) is a centrosymmetric S-shaped molecule. It contains two HgII cations, one bridging L ligand, two terminal L ligands and four I- anions. The bridging L ligand is located about a crystallographic inversion centre, so there is only one crystallographically independent HgII centre, which is four-coordinated by two terminal I atoms and two pyridyl N atoms from two L ligands (one bridging L ligand and one terminal L ligand) (see Fig. 1). The coordination geometry is not a typical tetrahedron, in that the I1—Hg1—I2 and N1—Hg1—N5 angles are 151.070 (18) and 80.97 (16)°, respectively, very different from the regular tetrahedral angle. Moreover, the HgII centre lies only ca 0.34 or 0.32 Å from the planes defined by atoms I1/I2/N1 and I1/I2/N5, respectively. The bond lengths and angles involving atom Hg1 are summerized in Table 1. The Hg—I bonds are longer than the Hg—N bonds, due to the different ratios of atom radii. The bond lengths in (I) are comparable with those observed in other Hg-containing compounds, such as [HgI2(X)]n [X is N,N'-bis(4-pyridylformamide)-1,4-benzene, 4,4'-azopyridine, 4,4'-trimethylene dipyridine or N,N'-bis(pyridin-3-ylformyl)piperazine; Li et al., 2005].

As shown in Fig. 1, there are two coordination modes for the L ligand. The centrosymmetric L ligand plays a bridging role between to two HgII cations through an Hg—N coordination bond, whereas the other L ligands are only connected to one HgII cation and act as terminal ligands. Interestingly, the conformations of these L ligands are also different. The central L ligand adopts a ciscis conformation, where cis means that the pyridyl N atom and acylamide N—H group are located on the same side. In contrast, the two terminal L ligands adopt cisanti conformations, where anti means that the pyridyl N atoms and acylamide N—H groups are located on opposite sides. The CO bond length in the acylamide group of the L ligand is 1.227 (7) Å. The torsion angles of the acylamide group of the L ligand are H6M—N6—C24—O3 = 174.69°, H2M—N2—C6—O1 = 168.57° and H3M—N3—C13—O2 = 177.72°. The dihedral angles between the pyridyl and phenyl planes for the L ligand are ca 7.62° (central ligand), and ca 2.44 and 7.68° (terminal ligand) [Which value for which end of the ligand?].

Atoms Hg1 and symmetry-related Hg1i [symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, 2 - y, 1 - z] are bridged by one L ligand, creating a dinuclear structure with a large metal-to-metal span of ca 18.25 Å. Taking the two terminal L ligands into account, a clear S-like shape is observed.

As shown in Fig. 1, typical N—H···O hydrogen bonds are observed between the amide groups in this S-shaped molecule. All the N—H and CO groups in the central L ligand act as hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors, respectively, whereas the terminal L ligands only contribute parts of the N—H and CO groups to form hydrogen bonds. Interestingly, those N—H groups that do not form hydrogen bonds within the dinuclear molecule of (I) can act as donors to form hydrogen bonds with uncoordinated pyridyl N atoms from other adjacent dinuclear molecules. Conversely, the uncoordinated pyridyl N atoms from one dinuclear molecule of (I) act as acceptors to generate hydrogen bonds with the N—H groups from other adjacent dinuclear molecules. Thus, each dinuclear molecule will connect to four adjacent dinuclear molecules through typical N—H···N hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2). Extended in the bc plane, this connectivity will construct an overall two-dimensional supramolecular brick-wall net (Fig. 3). Within this, obvious ππ interactions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of ca. 3.72Å are observed. All of the N—H···O and N—H···N hydrogen-bond parameters are summarized in Table 2. Finally, as shown in Fig. 4, these layers lead to a three-dimensional structure with AA packing along the a direction, and I···I contacts of 4.34 Å between the layers further enhance the structure.

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, February 2013 release; Allen, 2002) reveals 13 compounds containing the ligand L, involving eight Cu-based, three Zn-based and two Co-based compounds (Adarsh et al., 2010; Adarsh & Dastidar, 2011; Tsai et al., 2010; Rajput & Biradha, 2009). In these compounds, the L ligands play a bridging role to link two metal centers through the pyridyl N atoms. Typical N—H···O hydrogen bonds were also found in those compounds. By contrast, our case should present the first L-containing HgII-based compound. Interestingly, in our case there are two kinds of L ligand, bridging and terminal. The uncoordinated N atoms of the terminal L ligands of (I) provide a potential acceptor for constructing hydrogen bonds with the N—H groups, resulting in the overall two-dimensional supramolecular brick-wall net.

Experimental top

For the synthesis of (I), a CH3CN solution (4 ml) of HgI2 (0.2 mmol) and L (0.2 mmmol) in a ratio of 1:1 was sealed in a Teflon reactor and heated at 433 K for 3 d, and then cooled to room temperature at 3 K h-1. Red block crystals of (I) were obtained in 63% yield based on HgI2.

To evaluate its thermostability, a sample of (I) was heated in a nitrogen atmosphere from 308 to 1073 K at a heating rate of 10 K min-1. As shown in Fig. 5, compound (I) is heat-stable to over 443 K, but displays a sharp weight loss at around 483 K, indicating decomposition.

In addition, the solid-state photoluminescence properties of (I) were measured. As shown in Fig. 6, an intense emission occurs at 440 nm with an excitation wavelength of 322 nm. As we know, the emission is mainly derived from the ππ* transition. Meanwhile, the free L ligand exhibits a 465 nm blue emission under 320 nm excitation, which indicates that the emission of (I) originates from the L ligand, and the blue shift (25 nm) is mainly due to a metal-to-ligand or ligand-to-metal charge transfer (Luo et al., 2008).

Refinement top

C-bound H atoms of the benzene and pyridine rings were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and treated using a riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). N-bound H atoms were found through residual Q peaks, and refined with N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
