Abstract
Pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylic acid (ptcH3) readily reacts with a Zn(II) salt at room temperature to form different products depending upon the presence or absence of pyridine in the reaction mixture. In the presence of pyridine, the ligand breaks to form infinitely zigzag coordination polymers with the empirical formula {Zn(Ox)(py)2}n (Ox = oxalate, py = pyridine). The backbone is formed from Zn(II)−oxalate where two pyridine molecules are coordinated to each Zn(II) ion giving it hexacoordination. The orientation of the bound pyridines is slightly different when Zn(II)−nitrate is used compared to that when Zn(II)−sulfate (or acetate) salt is used. In absence of pyridine, the ligand remains intact and forms a mixture of a carboxylate-bridged coordination polymer and a discrete carboxylate-bridged 12-membered metallomacrocycle.Keywords
