An Interesting Conversion Route of Mononuclear Zinc Complex to Zinc Mixed Carboxylate Coordination Polymer.

ABSTRACT: A complex [Zn(bpy)(acr)₂]·H₂O (1) was converted in a DMF medium (DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide) into a coordination polymer [Zn(bpy)(acr)(HCOO)]_n (1a) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and Hacr = acrylic acid), and the species was fully characterized through a single crystal X-ray diffraction. Additional data were obtained by IR and thermogravimetric analysis. Complex (1a) crystalized the coordination polymer in the space group Pca2₁ of an orthorhombic system. Structural characterization revealed that Zn(II) adopted a square pyramidal stereochemistry generated by bpy molecules, coordinated by chelate, acrylate, and formate ions as unidentate and bridged, respectively. The presence of both the formate and the acrylate with
