H2L was prepared by the 2:1 condensation of 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde and ethylenediamine in methanol. Complex (I) was obtained by the treatment of zinc(II) acetate dihydrate (0.188 g, 1 mmol) with H2L(0.356 g, 1 mmol) in methanol solution (100 ml) under reflux for 3 h and then for another 3 h after the addition of praseodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate (0.435 g, 1 mmol). The reaction mixture was cooled and the resulting precipitate was filtered off, washed with diethyl ether and dried in vacuo. Single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of a methanol solution. Analysis calculated for C20H22N5O13PrZn: C 32.17, H 2.97, N 9.38, Pr 18.87, Zn 8.76%; found: C 32.28, H 2.95, N 9.31, Pr 19.05, Zn 8.78%. IR (KBr, cm-1): 1643 (C=N), 1385, 1491 (nitrate).
The H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.97 (methylene) and 0.96 Å (methyl), and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq(C) for other H atoms.
The potential applications of trivalent lanthanide complexes as contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging and stains for fluorescence imaging have prompted considerable interest in the preparation, magnetic and optical properties of 3 d–4f hetorometallic dinuclear complexes (Baggio et al., 2000; Caravan et al., 1999; Edder et al., 2000; Knoer et al., 2005). As part of our investigations into the structure and applications of 3 d-4f hetorometallic Schiff base complexes (Sui et al., 2006), we report here the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure analysis of the title complex, (I), a new ZnII–PrIII complex with salen-type Schiff base N,N'-bis(3-ethoxysalicylidene) ethylenediamine(H2L).
Complex (I) crystallizes in the space group P212121, with zinc and praseodymium doubly bridged by two phenolate O atoms provided by a salen-type Schiff base ligand. The inner salen-type cavity is occupied by zinc(II), while praseodymium(III) is present in the open and larger portion of the dinucleating compartmental Schiff base ligand. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of Zn1/O1/O2 and Pr1/O1/O2 is 3.45 (15)° suggesting that the bridging moiety is almost planar; the deviation of atoms from the least squares Zn1/O1/O2/Pr1 plane being 0.0293 (3)Å for Zn, 0.0199 (3)Å for Pr, -0.0244 (4)Å for O1 and -0.0248 (4)Å for O2.
The praseodymium(III) center in (I) has a decacoordination environment of O atoms. In addition to the phenolate ligands, two ethoxy O atoms coordinate to this metal center, two O atoms from each of the three nitrates chelate to praseodymium to complete the decacoordination. The three kinds of Pr—O bond distances are significantly different, the shortest being the Pr—O(phenolate) and longest being the Pr—O(ethoxy) separations.
The coordination of zinc(II) is approximately square planar. The donor centers are alternatively above and below the mean N2O2 plane with an average deviation from the plane of 0.0901 (3) Å, while Zn1 is 0.0437 (3)Å below this square plane.
Adjacent molecules are held together by weak interactions (O10···Zn1 = 3.159 (5) Å, C7—H7···O7i = 3.276 (5), C9—H9A···O7ii = 3.266 (5) and C17—H17A···O8iii = 3.528 (5); symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, y - 1/2, 1/2 - z; (ii) x - 1, y, z; (iii) x - 1/2, 5/2 - y, z.) these link the molecules into a two-dimensional zigzag sheet (Fig. 2).

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. |

The potential applications of trivalent lanthanide complexes as contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging and stains for fluorescence imaging have prompted considerable interest in the preparation, magnetic and optical properties of 3 d–4f hetorometallic dinuclear complexes (Baggio et al., 2000; Caravan et al., 1999; Edder et al., 2000; Knoer et al., 2005). As part of our investigations into the structure and applications of 3 d-4f hetorometallic Schiff base complexes (Sui et al., 2006), we report here the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure analysis of the title complex, (I), a new ZnII–PrIII complex with salen-type Schiff base N,N'-bis(3-ethoxysalicylidene) ethylenediamine(H2L).
Complex (I) crystallizes in the space group P212121, with zinc and praseodymium doubly bridged by two phenolate O atoms provided by a salen-type Schiff base ligand. The inner salen-type cavity is occupied by zinc(II), while praseodymium(III) is present in the open and larger portion of the dinucleating compartmental Schiff base ligand. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of Zn1/O1/O2 and Pr1/O1/O2 is 3.45 (15)° suggesting that the bridging moiety is almost planar; the deviation of atoms from the least squares Zn1/O1/O2/Pr1 plane being 0.0293 (3)Å for Zn, 0.0199 (3)Å for Pr, -0.0244 (4)Å for O1 and -0.0248 (4)Å for O2.
The praseodymium(III) center in (I) has a decacoordination environment of O atoms. In addition to the phenolate ligands, two ethoxy O atoms coordinate to this metal center, two O atoms from each of the three nitrates chelate to praseodymium to complete the decacoordination. The three kinds of Pr—O bond distances are significantly different, the shortest being the Pr—O(phenolate) and longest being the Pr—O(ethoxy) separations.
The coordination of zinc(II) is approximately square planar. The donor centers are alternatively above and below the mean N2O2 plane with an average deviation from the plane of 0.0901 (3) Å, while Zn1 is 0.0437 (3)Å below this square plane.
Adjacent molecules are held together by weak interactions (O10···Zn1 = 3.159 (5) Å, C7—H7···O7i = 3.276 (5), C9—H9A···O7ii = 3.266 (5) and C17—H17A···O8iii = 3.528 (5); symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, y - 1/2, 1/2 - z; (ii) x - 1, y, z; (iii) x - 1/2, 5/2 - y, z.) these link the molecules into a two-dimensional zigzag sheet (Fig. 2).
