A mixture of 3-methylbenzoic acid (1.36 g, 10.0 mmol), succinbromimide (1.78 g, 10.0 mmol), benzoyl peroxide (0.025 g, 0.103 mmol) and tetrachloromethane (40 ml) was refluxed for 5 h. After cooling to room temperature, a pink precipitate was obtained by filtration and subsequently washed with tetrachloromethane and water. Recrystallization from dichloromethane provided 3-bromomethylbenzoic acid as a white solid in 80.3% yield.
KOH (2.8 g, 50.0 mmol) was added with stirring to a solution of 3-bromomethylbenzoic acid (2.15 g, 10.0 mmol) and 1H-1,2,4-triazole (0.69 g, 10.0 mmol) in water (60 ml). The mixture was stirred for 12 h, then acidified with hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to 2. The white precipitate which formed was filtered off and recrystallized from methanol to give the product, HL (yield 81.3%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6, δ, p.p.m): 12.99 (s, 1H, COOH), 8.71 (s, 1H, CH), 8.01 (s, 1H, CH), 7.89-7.50 (m, 4H, m-C6H4), 5.50 (s, 2H, CH2); IR (KBr, cm-1): 3450, 3108, 2767, 2516, 1925, 1694, 1611, 1518, 1454, 1276, 1201, 1136, 1019, 980, 891, 783, 742, 679, 656, 590.
A mixture of HL (20.3 mg, 0.10 mmol), ZnSO4.7H2O (28.7 mg, 0.10 mmol) and deionized water (2 ml) was sealed in a 5 ml test tube, heated at 453 K for 40 h and cooled slowly to room temperature over a period of 50 h. Colourless crystals of the title compound, (I), were isolated in 80% yield (based on HL). IR (KBr, cm-1): 3450, 3132, 1694, 1518, 1348, 1276, 1203, 1131, 982, 931, 742, 678, 653; elemental analysis, calculated for C40H34N12O9Zn2: C 50.17, H 3.55, N 17.56%; found: C 50.14, H 3.57, N 17.58%.
H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and included as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (aromatic) or C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) (methylene). The O atoms of one coordinated carboxyl group were disordered over two positions; the site-occupancy factors are 0.734 (7) (atoms O3' and O4') and 0.266 (7) (atoms O3 and O4). The anisotropic displacement parameters of atoms O3 and O4 were restrained to be similar to those of O3' and O4' within a standard deviation of 0.005 Å2. The disordered water molecule was modelled as half-occupied. H atoms of the water molecule were located in a difference map and refined as riding, with O—H = 0.85 (1) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 construction of supramolecular complexes with novel structures and topologies has received considerable attention over the past decade for their potential applications in many fields, such as gas storage (Chen et al., 2006), catalysis (Pan et al., 2003), anion/guest exchange (Jung et al., 2002), separation (Li et al., 2008), magnetism (Halder et al., 2002) and luminescent materials (Dong et al., 2007). In the reported literature, 1,2,4-triazole, pyrazole, imidazole and their derivatives have been recognized as one of the most useful classes of organic building blocks to construct metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) (Zhang et al., 2008), due to their ability to link metal ions together to afford diverse supramolecular complexes. Triazoles with an alkyl, aryl or amino substituent on the 4-position acting as bridging ligands have been particularly well studied (Bradford et al., 2004; Klingele & Brooker, 2003; Shakir et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2007; Huang et al., 2006). A number of one-, two- and three-dimensional architectures have been obtained by self-assembly of 1,2,4-triazole, pyrazole, imidazole and their derivatives with transition metal salts. The specific structures obtained demonstrate that the nature of the MOF depends strongly on the properties of the organic ligands used in constructing the supramolecular complexes. Supramolecular complexes based on bent unsymmetric ligands containing 1,2,4-triazole and carboxylic acid groups have been less extensively studied (Ding et al., 2008), so these bent unsymmetric ligands offer great potential for creating novel frameworks. Previously, we have reported the MII (M = Co, Cd and Zn) coordination chemistry of the carboxylate-substituted 1,2,4-triazole 4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]benzoic acid (Zhao et al., 2007; Qin et al., 2009). In the present work, the new isomeric bent organic ligand 3-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]benzoic acid (HL) was employed in a self-assembly reaction with zinc sulfate under hydrothermal conditions to create the title novel supramolecular complex, {[Zn2L4].(H2O)}n, (I).
Compound (I) crystallizes with one unique six-coordinated ZnII centre in a distorted octahedral {ZnN2O4} environment (Table 1) involving O atoms (O1, O2, O3 and O4) from the carboxylate groups of two L- ligands and N atoms [N4i and N3ii; symmetry codes: (i) -x, -y, -z; (ii) -x + 1, y - 1/2, -z + 1/2] from two other L- ligands (Fig. 1). The coordinated carboxyl group involving atoms O3 and O4 was found to be disordered over two positions, with refined site-occupancy factors of 0.734 (7) (primed) and 0.266 (7) (unprimed). Neighbouring ZnII ions are bound together by the carboxylate groups and terminal triazole N donors of two L- ligands to form a {Zn2L2} bimetallic ring in which the diagonal Zn···Zn separation is 8.793 (1) Å. Each ZnII centre of the bimetallic ring is further bonded with two other bridging ligands, resulting in a novel infinite two-dimensional network structure in the ab plane (Fig. 2). The shortest Zn···Zn distance between adjacent bimetallic rings is 11.188 (2) Å.
When viewed down the crystallographic b axis, chains consisting of alternating symmetric ellipse-like cavities of different sizes are found (Fig. 3). The larger cavities are approximately 11.1 × 7.8 Å, and the smaller ones are about 8.8 × 6.8 Å. The chains repeat in an interpenetrating orthogonal arrangement. The water molecules occupy the smaller cavities, where they are statistically disordered between two symmetry-related positions. The water molecules do not appear to interact strongly with the framework. The cavities in this structure are smaller than similar ones composed of two CdII centres and two similar bent 4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]benzoate ligands, in which the Cd···Cd separation is 12.40 (4) Å (Qin et al., 2009). The smaller cavity size in (I) may be caused by the 3-substituted ligand being shorter than the 4-substituted ligand in terms of the distance from the carboxylate O atoms to the triazole N atom. Specifically, the longest N···O separations in the 3- and 4-substituted ligands are 7.816 (4) and 8.653 (31) Å, respectively. It is worth noting that the Cd compound of the 4-substituted ligand is a 1:1 salt with an additional chloride counterion, while (I) is a 1:2 salt with no other counterions. In addition, the CdII coordination polymer structure is also different in that no guest molecules are located in the channels. The structure of (I) further demonstrates the important role the bridging ligand plays in determining the specific nature of the resulting framework, and emphasizes the practically limitless potential for structural diversity in these systems.
