In the title compound, [Pb(C6H4NO2)(N3)(H2O)]n, the Pb ion is seven-coordinated by three N atoms from three azide ligands, two O atoms from two isonicotinate (inic) ligands and two O atoms from two coordinated water mol­ecules, forming a distorted monocapped triangular prismatic coordination geometry. Each azide ligand bridges three PbII ions in a [mu]1,1,3 coordination mode to form a two-dimensional three-connected 63 topology network extending in the bc plane. The carboxyl­ate group of the inic unit and the aqua ligand act as coligands to bridge PbII ions. Adjacent two-dimensional layers are connected by hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the isonicotinate N atom and the water mol­ecule, resulting in an extended three-dimensional network. The title complex is the first reported coordination polymer involving a p-block metal, an azide and a carboxyl­ate.

Comment top

In recent years, azide has attracted much attention not only for its versatile coordination mode as a bridging ligand, but also for its inherent advantages in the construction of materials with magnetic properties and potential applications (Yue et al., 2008; Ray et al., 2008; Liu et al., 2007; Zeng et al., 2006, 2005; Liu et al., 2006; Chen et al., 2001). The synthetic strategy of choosing a different second ligand for propagating new motifs has been used to produce a large number of azide-bridged complexes (Cheng et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2006, 2005; Chen et al., 2001). So far, most of the second ligands selected to coligate with the azide have been neutral (Escuer et al., 2000; Gao et al., 2003; Meyer et al., 2003; Lewis et al., 2004; Koner et al., 2004). Anionic coligands have not been widely studied because of the added complication of having two different negative ligands that must coexist and compete in the same molecule (Cheng et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2006, 2005; Chen et al., 2001). Isonicotinic acid (Hinic), as a good source of a negative carboxylate ligand, has been applied in transition-metal–azide systems to construct metal-organic frameworks and a few such complexes have been synthesized (Zeng et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2006, 2005). However, the combination of azide with the negative carboxylate coligands has been applied with p-block metals only rarely, with just one discrete compound reported (Fischer et al., 1999). So far, coordination polymers of p-block metals with azide and carboxylate coligands have not been reported. In this context, we carried out the reaction of Pb3(OH)2(CO3)2 with NaN3 and Hinic under hydrothermal conditions and isolated a novel PbII complex, [Pb(inic)(N3)(H2O)]n (I). We report the crystal stucture here. To the best of our knowledge, (I) is the first reported p-block metal–azide–carboxylate coordination polymer.

Compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c and the asymmetric unit contains one PbII ion, one isonicotinate anion, one azide anion and one water molecule. The PbII center is seven-coordinated by three N atoms from three azide ligands, two O atoms from two Hinic ligands and two O atoms from two coodinated water molecules, forming a distorted monocaped triangular prismatic coordination geometry (Fig. 1). Each azide anion ligates three equivalent PbII ions in the µ1,1,3 coordination mode to form a honeycomb-like two-dimensional layer structure (Fig. 2). The Pb—N bond lengths (Table 1) are similar to reported values (Marandi, Mirtamizdoust, Soudi & Fun, 2007; Marandi, Mirtamizdoust, Chantrapromma & Fun, 2007; Fischer et al., 1999). The deprotonated carboxylate group and the aqua ligand act as coligands in a synanti carboxylate and a µ2-aqua bridging mode, respectively, to link the PbII ions. The inic and aqua coligands are distributed on both sides of the two-dimensional layer. To emphasize the nature of the Pb-atom net bridged by azide, inic or aqua ligands, each Pb atom can be regarded as a three-connected node bridged to three nearest neighbor Pb atoms by a pair of `double-bridge' ligands [with Pb···Pb separations of 4.480–4.514 Å and Pb···Pb···Pb angles of 89.26–166.73° (are s.u. values available?)]. By defining each seven-coordinated Pb atom as a three-connected node, the two-dimensional network in (I) can be described as a two-dimensional three-connected topology with short and long Schläfli vertical symbols of 63 and 6.6.6 (Smith, 1978; O'Keeffe & Hyde, 1996, 1997). Within the two-dimensional layer, one hydrogen-bonding interaction is formed bewteen an aqua ligand and a carboxylate O atom (Table 2). Adjacent two-dimensional layers are further interlinked by hydrogen-bonding interactions between the water molecule and the isonicotinate N atom into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework (Fig. 3).

Compared with the reported lead azide complexes [Pb(phen)(N3)2]n and [Pb(deta)(N3).(N3)]n (phen and deta are 1,10-phenanthroline and diethylentriamine, respectively; Marandi, Mirtamizdoust, Soudi & Fun, 2007), the difference in the charge of the coligand [negative carboxylate in (I) versus neutral phen or deta] leads to a different ratio of Pb and N3 [1:1 for (I) versus 1:2 for the reported complexes]. As a result, the three-dimensional framework of (I) is constructed from genuinely two-dimensional layers formed completely via the bridging ligand. By contrast, in the reported [Pb(phen)(N3)2]n and [Pb(deta)(N3).(N3)]n complexes, the three-dimensional supramolecular frameworks were constructed from quasitwo-dimensional layers, which were formed by the weak Pb—N interaction and lone pair activity between the adjacent one-dimensional chains.

Experimental top

A mixture of Pb3(OH)2(CO3)2 (0.25 mmol, 0.1939 g), NaN3 (0.5 mmol, 0.0325 g), isonicotinic acid (0.3 mmol, 0.0330 g) and distilled water (8 ml) was sealed in a 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and heated to 393 K for 3 d. After cooling to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1, colourless crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis were isolated from the solution by filtration. Caution: Azide complexes are potentially explosive. Only a small amount of the materials should be prepared and handled with care.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with C–H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2*Ueq(C). Water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined with a distance restraint of O—H = 0.84 (1) Å.

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.
