The title compound, [Zn(C29H29N5)2](ClO4)2·2CH3NO2, contains a ZnII ion showing only small deviations from local D2d symmetry. The lower rhombicity exhibited by this complex compared with that of its CuII congener suggests that the highly rhombic stereochemistry exhibited by the latter is largely imposed by the stereoelectronic preferences of the CuII ion.

Comment top

We have recently described the complex [CuL2](ClO4)2·2CH3NO2, (I) {L is 2,6-bis[3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)pyrazol-1-yl]pyridine}, which exhibits a rhombic six-coordinate stereochemistry in the crystal (Solanki et al., 1998). This complex exhibits an unusual {dz2}1 electronic ground state, which is imposed by intramolecular steric repulsions at the metal ion between the mesityl substituents of one ligand and the pyridine ring of the other (Solanki et al., 1998; Bridgeman et al., 1999). We were interested in comparing the molecular structure of (I) with an analogue containing a metal ion with a spherical d shell, to determine the extent to which the {dz2}1 unpaired electron dictates the stereochemistry of the CuII ion. We have therefore determined the crystal structure of the title compound, [ZnL2](ClO4)2·2CH3NO2, (II). \sch

Compound (II) is isomorphous with its CuII congener (Solanki et al., 1998), also crystallizing in space group P212121. The asymmetric unit contains one formula unit, with the cation and all anions and solvent molecules in general positions. The ZnII ion adopts a rhombic coordination geometry, with the Zn—Npyrazole bonds to one ligand (Zn1—N9 and Zn1—N23) being shorter than the corresponding bonds to the other ligand (Zn1—N43 and Zn1—N57) by 0.027 (3)–0.037 (3) Å. This is a lower rhombicity than is exhibited by the CuII complex, however, where the Cu—Npyrazole bonds to one ligand are 0.091 (8)–0.114 (8) Å shorter than to the other. Interestingly, although one ligand (N2—C35) is bound symmetrically to the ZnII ion, the other (N36—C69) is slightly asymmetrically coordinated, with Zn1—N43 being 0.018 (3) Å shorter than Zn—N57. Since space-filling models show no steric contacts that could impose these small distortions from ideal D2 d symmetry, both the rhombicity of the coordination sphere and the asymmetric binding of ligand N36—C69 are probably imposed by the local lattice environment. Overall, the coordination geometry in this complex closely resembles those of stereochemically similar ZnII complexes containing two terpyridyl derivatives as ligands (Whittle et al., 1998; Alcock et al., 2000). The small rhombicity exhibited by (II) suggests that the more rhombic stereochemistry adopted by (I) is largely driven by the electronic preferences of the CuII ion.

The mesityl rings of each ligand in (II) sandwich the pyridine ring of the coligand, forming two perpendicular triple π-π stacks. The metric parameters for these π-π interactions are given in Table 2. For comparison, the Cu—Npyrazole bonds in (I) range from 2.136 (6)–2.256 (6) Å, while the π-π interplanar distances are in the range 3.5–3.7 Å and the dihedral angles in the range 2.0 (2)–13.2 (2)° (Solanki et al., 1998). The small horizontal offsets of these interacting rings are consistent with these being electrostatically repulsive π-π interactions (Hunter & Sanders, 1990). There are no close intermolecular contacts within the crystal lattice.

Experimental top

Complexation of Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O by 2 molar equivalents of L (Solanki et al., 1998) in CH3NO2 yielded a pale yellow solution, which was filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Vapour diffusion of Et2O into this solution afforded colourless blocks of (II) of diffraction quality. Elemental analysis: found: C 65.1, H 6.6, N 7.5%; calculated for C58H58Cl2N10O4Zn·2CH3NO2: C 65.3, H 6.6, N 7.6%.

Refinement top

Methyl H atoms were located in difference Fourier syntheses, while sp2 H atoms were placed geometrically. All sp2 H atoms were refined with C—H 0.925 Å and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C), while for methyl groups the corresponding values were 0.98 Å and 1.5 Ueq(C). The slightly high Rint value for the structure reflects a very large dataset containing a great deal of redundancy, collected from a sample of only moderate quality.

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. Structure solution was achieved by direct methods using SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1990), while least squares refinement used SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997). No disorder was detected during refinement, and no restraints were applied. All non-H atoms were refined anisotropically, while H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model.
