Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Zn(II) Coordination Polymer with the Rigid 4,4'-azobispyridine

Abstract

The new metal complex with phenylsuccinic acid (H₂psa) and 4,4'-azobispyridine (4,4’-abpy), {[Zn(psa)(H₂O)₃(µ-4,4'-abpy)](H₂O)}_n (I), was synthesized by hydrothermally process. The structure of I has been characterized by IR spectra, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the psa ligand O-coordinated to the Zn(II) ion and distorted octahedral geometry of Zn(II) ion is completed by bridging 4,4’-abpy and three aqua ligands.
