Two 1-D coordination polymers containing zinc(II) hexaborates: [Zn(en{B6O7(OH)6}]2H2O (en =1,2-diaminoethane) and [Zn(pn{B6O7(OH)6}]1.5H2O (pn = 1,2-diaminopropane)

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies of two new zinc(II) hexaborate(2􀀀) complexes, [Zn(en){B6O7(OH)6}]2H2O (en = 1,2-diaminoethane) (1) and [Zn(pn){B6O7(OH)6}]1.5H2O (pn = 1,2-diaminopropane) (2), are reported. These complexes crystallize from aqueous solutions containing 10:1 ratios of B(OH)3 and the appropriate Zn(II) amine complexes ([Zn(en)3][OH]2 or [Zn(pn)3][OH]2) through self-assembly processes. The hexaborate(2􀀀) anions in 1 and 2 are coordinated to two Zn(II) centers and form one-dimensional (1-D) polymeric coordination chains. R22(8) and R22(6) inter-chain H-bond interactions play an important role in these self-assembly processes and are discussed.
