Abstract
The title coordination polymer, poly[[μ-aqua-triaqua(μ3-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylato)sodiumzinc] sesquihydrate], {[NaZn(C9H3O6)(H2O)4]·1.5H2O}n, was obtained in ionic liquid microemulsion at room temperture by the reaction of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) with Zn(NO3)2·6H2O in the presence of NaOH. The asymmetric unit comprises two Na+ ions (each located on an inversion centre), one Zn2+ ion, one BTC ligand, four coordinating water molecules and two solvent water molecules, one of which is disordered about an inversion centre and shows half-occupation. The Zn2+ cation is five-coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from two different BTC ligands and three coordinating H2O molecules; the Zn—O bond lengths are in the range 1.975 (2)–2.058 (3) Å. The Na+ cations are six-coordinated but have different arrangements of the ligands: one is bound to two carboxylate O atoms of two BTC ligands and four O atoms from four coordinating H2O molecules while the other is bound by four carboxylate O atoms from four BTC linkers and two O atoms of coordinating H2O molecules. The completely deprotonated BTC ligand acts as a bridging ligand binding the Zn2+ atom and Na+ ions, forming a layered structure extending parallel to (100). An intricate network of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds is present within and between the layers.
