Abstract
The crystal structure of a new polyrotaxane ZnII coordination polymer, {[Zn2(2,6-PDC)2(bix)2]·9H2O}n, is comprised of dinuclear macrocyclic units and a zigzag chain-like structure extending parallel to [101].
A new chain-like polyrotaxane ZnII coordination polymer, catena-poly[[[[(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ3O,N,O′)zinc(II)]-μ-1,4-bis(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene-κ2N1:N1′] hemi{bis[μ-1,4-bis(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene-κ2N1:N1′]bis[(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ3O,N,O′)zinc(II)]}] nonahydrate], {[Zn(C7H3NO4)(C14H14N4)][Zn2(C7H3NO4)2(C14H14N4)2]0.5·9H2O}n or {[Zn2(2,6-PDC)2(bix)2]·9H2O}n [where 2,6-PDC = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate, C7H3NO4, and bix = 1,4-bis(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, C14H14N4], was synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure comprises two ZnII units. Both ZnII ions are fivefold coordinated, with the coordination sphere intermediate between trigonal-bipyramidal and square-pyramidal, as defined by two bix ligands and one 2,6-PDC tridentate chelating ligand. For one of the units, two ZnII ions are bridged by gauche-bix ligands, providing a dinuclear [Zn2(2,6-PDC)2(bix)2] macrocycle. The other unit is built by trans-bix bridging ligands, leading to a zigzag chain-like structure. Interestingly, these two entities are interweaved, leading to a polyrotaxane structure extending parallel to [101]. The crystal structure is consolidated by hydrogen-bonding, π–π and C—H⋯π intermolecular interactions.
