Abstract

A novel heterometallic complex, [Zn4Ni(OH)2(btec) 2(titb)2(H2O)2]·2H 2,O (1) (H4btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, titb = 1,3,5-tris(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene), has been hydrothermally prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 10.817(10), b = 11.878(11), c = 14.569(14) Å, a = 71.762(12), β = 76.122(13), α = 71.493(13)°, V = 1665(3) Å3, C62H62N12O 22Zn4Ni, Mr = 1647.43, Dc = 1.643 g/cm 3, F(000) = 842, μ = 1.784 mm-1 and Z = 1. The final R = 0.0531 and wR = 0.0890 for 3545 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). In the title complex, the btec ligand acts as a five-dentate bridging ligand to link up zinc and nickel atoms into a lamellar framework, which are further interlinked into a 3-D framework via the titb ligands.
