Abstract

The lability of the ligand with a potential hydrogen bond donor–hydrogen bond donor arrangement was found to be the predominant factor in determining the structures of the adducts formed between zinc(II) complexes of thiourea [tu, NH2C(S)NH2] and thiosemicarbazide [tsc, NH2C(S)NHNH2] and the terephthalate anion [tere, C6H4(CO2–)2-1,4]. Reaction of [Zn(tsc)2][NO3]2, containing the bidentate thiosemicarbazide ligand, with sodium terephthalate led to a hydrogen-bonded structure, [Zn(tsc)2(OH2)2][tere]·2H2O, 1, in which the cations and anions are linked into chains through charge-augmented double hydrogen bonds between two NH protons on the tsc ligands and two oxygen lone pairs on the carboxylate. This chain formation is similar to that previously observed for related nickel complexes, although there are major differences in the way in which these chains are linked together into sheets. In contrast to the thiosemicarbazide complex, the reaction of [Zn(tu)4][NO3]2, containing unidentate thiourea ligands, with sodium terephthalate led to the formation of a co-ordinatively-bonded polymer, [Zn2(µ-tu)(tu)2(µ-tere)2]·4H2O, 2, in which the terephthalate anions have displaced some of the thiourea ligands from each zinc co-ordination sphere. The zigzag tapes formed by the terephthalate ligands bridging zinc atoms are linked together into double strands via bridging thiourea ligands.
