Abstract

A zinc(II) complex [Zn(bdc)(py)·H2O]a (bdc=1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, py=pyridine) has been prepared and characterized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 0.84823(3), b = 0.91440(3), c = 1.65141(2) ran, β = 91.243(2)°, V= 1.28057(6) nm3, Z = 4. The coordination geometry at each Zn(II) center is a distorted tetrahedron. Two independent bdc ligands in a herringbone pattern link alternatively four-coordinated Zn(II) centers into a one-dimensional polymeric chain. Hydrogen bonds among coordinated water molecules and uncoordinated oxygen atoms of two independent bdc ligands from different polymeric chains extend one-dimensional polymeric chains into a three-dimensional structure.
