Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Zn(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)(HCO₂)₂]•2H₂O

Abstract:

Reactions of a freshly prepared Zn(OH)_2-2x(CO₃)_x×yH₂O precipitate, formic acid with 2,9’-dimethyl-1,10’-phenanthroline in CH₃OH/H₂O afforded [Zn(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)(HCO₂)₂]·2H₂O. The title compound was structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction methods. It consists of complex molecules [Zn(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)(HCO₂)₂] in which Zn atoms are hexa-coordinated by two N atoms of one phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms of two bidentate formate groups. In the crystal, molecules are connected by O–H···O hydrogen bonds forming layers parallel to (010), and the resulting layers are further linked 3D framework along [100] by π-π packing interactions.
