A one-dimensional Zn(II) coordination polymer: poly[dichlorido(μ₂-1,4-phenylenediacetato-κ²O:O')bis{μ₂-1,3-bis[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene-κ²N³:N³'}dizinc(II)

Abstract

In the title one-dimensional Zn(II) coordination polymer, [Zn(C10H8O4)(0.5)Cl(C12H12N6)]n, the asymmetric unit consists of a Zn(II) cation, a 1,3-bis[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene ligand and half of a fully deprotonated centrosymmetric 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid ligand. The crystal structure shows a one-dimensional rotaxane-like structure. This coordination polymer is reinforced by C-H···O and C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions.
