In the mixed-ligand metal–organic polymeric compound poly[[μ2-1,4-bis­(imidazol-1-yl)benzene](μ2-terephthalato)dizinc(II)], [Zn2(C8H4O4)2(C12H10N4)]n or [Zn2(bdc)2(bib)]n [H2bdc is terephthalic acid and bib is 1,4-bis­(imidazol-1-yl)benzene], the asymmetric unit contains one ZnII ion, with two half bdc anions and one half bib mol­ecule lying around inversion centers. The ZnII ion is in a slightly distorted tetra­hedral environment, coordinated by three carboxyl­ate O atoms from three different bdc anions and by one bib N atom. The crystal structure is constructed from the secondary building unit (SBU) [Zn2(CO2)2N2O2], in which the two metal centers are held together by two bdc linkers with bis­(syn,syn-bridging bidentate) bonding modes. The SBU is connected by bdc bridges to form a two-dimensional grid-like (4,4)-layer, which is further pillared by the bib ligand. Topologically, the dinuclear SBU can be considered to be a six-connected node, and the extended structure exhibits an elongated primitive approximately cubic framework. The three-dimensional framework possesses a large cavity with dimensions of approximately 10 × 13 × 17 Å in cross-section. The potential porosity is filled with mutual inter­penetration of two identical equivalent frameworks, generating a novel threefold inter­penetrating network with an α-polonium topology [Abrahams, Hoskins, Robson & Slizys (2002). CrystEngComm, 4, 478–482].

Comment top

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid materials where metal ions or small clusters are bridged by multifunctional organic linkers into one-dimensional chains, two-dimensional layers or three-dimensional nets. During the past decade, the construction of MOFs through crystal engineering has attracted considerable attention owing to their various intriguing architectures and potential applications as functional materials (Kitaura et al., 2003; Eddaoudi et al., 2000; Kepert et al., 2001). As nature abhors a vacuum, mutual interpenetration is a common phenomenon in supramolecular chemistry and provides a unique class of robust framework (Carlucci et al., 2000). Comprehensive reviews of interpenetration, which has been the most investigated type of entanglement, are given by Batten (2001) and Blatov et al. (2004). Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of novel interpenetrating networks with interesting topologies. The most commonly used synthetic strategy is to select appropriate long-chain ligands, which bridge metal ions to afford infinite networks. Recently, the synthetic strategy utilizing secondary building units (SBUs) has achieved stable, highly porous open frameworks; two efficient SBUs are the tetrameric M4O(COO)6 clusters and the paddle-wheel dimeric M2(COO)4 clusters formed by carboxylate ligands (Chae et al., 2004; Sun et al., 2006; Han et al., 2008; Chen, Che et al., 2007). There are many inorganic–organic hybrid complexes composed of polyoxometalates (POMs) associated with various metal–ligand systems (Tian et al., 2008). A large number of attractive MOFs of ingenious design based on flexible bis(imidazole) ligands have been crystallographically characterized (Jin et al., 2006; Li et al., 2006; Fan et al., 2006). In order to enrich the coordination chemistry of interpenetrating MOFs based on POMs as nodes, we describe the synthesis and crystal structure of a novel threefold-interpenetrating primitive cubic network constructed from terephthalic acid (H2bdc), 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene (bib) and ZnII, namely [Zn2(bdc)2(bib)], (I).

As shown in Fig. 1, the ZnII centre is four-coordinated by one N atom from the bib ligand and three O atoms from individual bdc anions to form a slightly distorted tetrahedral configuration, in which the Zn—O/N bond lengths are in the range 1.927 (3)–1.990 (3) Å (Table 1), comparable to those observed in related ZnII polymeric structures (Li et al., 2008; Chen, Che et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2006). The bdc and bib ligands lie about centers of symmetry. In the bdc anion, the two carboxylate groups show different bridging modes, viz. monodentate and synsyn bidentate (Fig. 2). The bib ligand is trans-coordinated to the ZnII centre and keeps its rigid conformation in the self-assembly of the coordination polymer. As depicted in Fig. 2, two crystallographically equivalent ZnII atoms, i.e. Zn1 and Zn1(-x + 2, -y, -z + 1), are bridged by two synsyn connecting carboxylates with a Zn···Zn distance of 3.706 (1) Å. This arrangement constitutes a relatively rare dinuclear SBU [Zn2(CO2)2N2O2], in which two ZnII centres are encompassed by two synsyn bridging and two monodentate carboxylates, respectively. Thus, it is quite different from the common paddle-wheel dimeric unit, which is bridged by four synsyn connecting carboxylates. Some similar zinc-based SBUs linked by this carboxylate bridging mode are found in coordination polymers, but there are minor differences from the present compound in the coordination environments of the ZnII ions (Dietzel et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2006). One closely related structure is reported by Chen, Zhang & Lu (2007), with the dinuclear ZnII unit also connected by two bdc ligands; however, the Zn···Zn distances within this unit are 3.522 (1) and 3.564 (1) Å, respectively, somewhat shorter than here. Furthermore, the Zn···Zn separations in paddle-wheel SBUs are generally around 2.9 Å, and two intra-unit ZnII centres are typically much closer (Ma et al., 2005; Zhou et al., 2000; Li et al., 2004; Chun et al., 2005).

A better insight into this fascinating structure can be achieved by the application of topology analysis. Although each ZnII centre sits in a tetrahedral coordination environment, the dinuclear SBU is octahedrally connected by four bdc anions and two bib molecules (Fig. 2). Each six-connected SBU is linked to four equivalent units through four bdc anions to generate a neutral two-dimensional square-grid (4,4)-layer, [Zn2(bdc)2]. As shown in Fig. 3, the two-dimensional layer is further pillared by the long bib ligand to afford an extended three-dimensional framework, [Zn2(bdc)2(bib)], with a cube-like structure, which is also found in the two-dimensional parallel catenation of bilayer [Zn2(bdc)2(bpp)] [bpp is 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)-propane; Chen, Zhang & Lu, 2007]. If the dinuclear SBU is simplified to a six-connected node and, accordingly, the bdc and bib ligands act as two-connected linkers, the overall topology can be described as an α-polonium framework (Abrahams et al., 2002), which possesses large cubic cavities of approximately 10 × 13 × 17 Å. (Fig. 4). The large voids formed by a single three-dimensional framework allow the incorporation of two identical frameworks, thus giving a threefold-interpenetraing α-polonium-related network, as shown in Fig. 5. The nodes of the second and third nets are located, equally spaced, along the cubic diagonal of the first net, and each square window has a rod from each of the adjacent two nets passing through it, giving a complicated interpenetration. We recognize as did previous workers that, among the currently known examples of α-polonium topology, the majority are twofold (Niel et al., 2002; Jensen et al., 2002; Yang et al., 2002), and only a few threefold-interpenetrated frameworks have been identified (Abrahams et al., 2002; Wang et al., 2006).

In summary, a novel threefold-interpenetrating network with an α-polonium topology has been synthesized and is another interpenetrating MOF based on a POM as the node.

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.
