A mixture of Pb(NO3)2 (0.2 mmol, 66 mg), H2bptc (0.4 mmol, 98 mg) and H2O (18.0 ml) in a molar ratio of 1:2:5000 was sealed in a 25 ml stainless steel reactor with a Teflon liner. The reactor was directly heated to 453 K, held at that temperature for 72 h and then slowly cooled to 303 K at a rate of 4 K h-1. Green block crystals of the title complex were collected by filtration and washed with ethanol (yield 35%).
Although evidence of possible disorder was found in the difference electron-density map, carboxyl atom H3 on O3 was included at full occupancy and treated as a riding atom, with O—H = 0.82 Å. The aromatic H atoms were placed at calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å. All H atoms were assigned fixed isotropic displacement parameters, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O).

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 design and synthesis of high-dimensional metal–organic framework (MOF) structures is becoming an increasingly popular field of research due to their formation of interesting structures and their potentially useful ion-exchange, adsorption, catalytic, fluorescence and magnetic properties (Leininger et al., 2000; Seo et al., 2000; Swiegers & Malefetse, 2000; Wu et al., 2005; Spencer et al., 2006). The construction of coordination networks with different topological structures has attracted significant attention from chemists (Barbour, 2001). Consequently, a variety of three-dimensional MOFs have been prepared by taking certain factors into account, such as the coordination nature of the metal ion and the shape, functionality, flexibility and symmetry of the organic ligand (Reger et al., 2001; Kitaura et al., 2002, 2003). The key step in forming infinite structures with particular architectures is to select appropriate bridging ligands, with rigid multidentate ligands being particularly advantageous. Ligands derived from 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid (H2bptc) are effective in this regard in that they contain a number of N- and O-coordination sites and rich coordination modes. They have shown not only strong chelating ability, but also a bridging tendency, yielding mono- or polynuclear one-, two- or three-dimensional structures, depending on the metal ion and the coligand used (Desmartin et al., 1995; Finn & Zubieta 2000; Min et al., 2002; Tynan et al., 2003; Lee & Suh, 2004; Matthews et al., 2004; Schoknecht & Kempe, 2004; Szeto et al., 2006, 2008). Among the reported structures, only one containing neodymium is three-dimensional (Schoknecht & Kempe, 2004). The greater dimensionality can be attributed to the high coordination numbers of lanthanides, which provide more opportunities to extend in different directions. Furthermore, the published metal compounds are limited to transition and lanthanide metals, while complexes with main group metals are still absent.
The hydrothermal method has been a promising technique in preparing highly stable infinite metal–ligand frameworks (Yaghi & Li, 1995; Gutschke et al., 1996; Chui et al., 1996; Gerrard & Wood, 2000). Taking advantage of the bridging ability of H2bptc in the chemical design of metal–organic molecular assemblies and the potentially high coordination number of PbII, we have synthesized the title novel three-dimensional coordination polymer, (I), under hydrothermal conditions.
Compound (I) represents a rare example of a three-dimensional framework with three- and six-connected nodes which exhibits a rutile-related (42.8)2(44 89 122) topology. The structure of (I) is distinctly different from the three-dimensional structure of the previously reported neodymium complex [Nd2(bpdc)3(H2O)4]n, in which the lanthanide centres act as five-connectors and two types of ligand cross-linkers as three- and four-connectors (Schoknecht & Kempe, 2004).
The asymmetric unit of (I) contains one-half of a PbII cation, located on a two-fold rotation axis, and an Hbptc- anion (Fig. 1). Thus, the carboxyl groups of H2bptc are partly deprotonated to produce Hbptc-, which is in agreement with the IR data in which strong absorption peaks were observed around 1700 cm-1 for -COOH. Each PbII cation has a distorted dodecahedral coordination environment with four N atoms from two chelating Hbptc- anions (N1, N2, N1iv and N2iv; all symmetry codes as in Fig. 1) and four O atoms from four other Hbptc- anions (O2v, O2ii, O4i and O4iii). In total, each PbII cation is connected to six Hbptc- ligands, defining a six-connected node within the structure. The C—O distances (Table 1) are close to each other and fall between the extremes of C—O single bonds (ca 1.32 Å) and C═O double bonds (ca 1.21 Å) typically observed in carboxyl groups (Zhang et al., 2005). The C—O distances involving non-coordinated O atoms are slightly longer than those involving coordinated O atoms. Obvious peaks adjacent to atoms O3 and O1 can be seen in the difference electron-density maps. All these observations suggest that the H atom is actually disordered between the non-coordinated O atoms. The Hbptc- anion coordinates to three PbII centres, to Pb1 in a bidentate chelating mode and to Pb1v and Pb1vi in a monodentate bridging mode. Thus, each Hbptc- ligand affords a three-connected node.
Each mononuclear Pb unit is linked to eight neighbouring mononuclear units to form a three-dimensional framework through the Hbptc- ligands. Four neighbouring PbII cations are linked at two different distances through C5H3NCOO- spacers (half of the Hbptc- ligand) [Pb1–Pb1v = 7.83990 (6) Å and Pb1–Pb1vi = 9.4850 (8) Å], while four other PbII cations are linked through -OOC(C5H3N)2COOH spacers (the whole Hbptc- ligand) [Pb1–Pb1vii = 15.4712 (14)Å]. The connecting mode of the mononuclear units within the ac and bc planes are shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively.
A better insight into the nature of this intricate framework can be achieved by the application of a topological approach, i.e. reducing multidimensional structures to simple node and connection nets. As discussed above, the structure of (I) is binodal with six- (PbII) and three-connected (Hbptc-) nodes. The framework can be rationalized by considering the shortest circuits starting and ending at PbII and Hbptc-, leading to the formation of a distorted rutile (42.8)2(44 89 122) topology (Fig. 4) (Blatov et al., 2005).
