Abstract and Figures

The title compound, [Zn 3 (C 14 H 11 Br 2 N 2 O) 4 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ·2CH 3 CN, crystallizes as a symmetrical trinuclear cation with all three metal atoms being located on a twofold rotation axis. It contains a tetrahedral Zn II atom that bridges two six-coordinate Zn II atoms. The complex contains N- and O-donor atoms of four tridentate 2,4-dibromo-6-{[2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]iminomethyl}phenolate ligands. The ratio of Zn II atoms to ligands is 3:4. The two terminal Zn II cations adopt distorted octahedral geometries and the central Zn II cation adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the cation there are π–π interactions between the dibromophenyl rings, as well as halogen-bonding interactions between the dibromophenyl rings in the cation, which stabilize its conformation. In addition, there are C—H...O interactions between the anions and both the cations and solvent molecules as well as C—H...N interactions between the cation and solvent molecules. These interspecies interactions link the cations, anions and solvent molecules into a complex three-dimensional array

1. Chemical context
Zinc(II)-derived metalloenzymes are among the most
common found in biology. Some enzymes containing zinc(II)
include carbonic anhydrase, carboxypeptidase, and phospha-
tase (Bertini et al., 1994; McCall et al., 2000). It is of interest to
study zinc(II) complexes derived from tridentate Schiff base
ligands because of the possibility of forming stable complex
structures. Zinc(II) plays a structural role not only in enzymes
but much progress has been made to incorporate it into metal–
organic frameworks for drug storage and release, lumines-
cence studies, and hydrogen-storage applications (An et al.,
2009; Bauer et al., 2007; Rosi et al., 2003).
Related complexes have been studied for their photo-
luminescent properties (Kundu et al., 2015; Chakraborty et al.,
ISSN 2056-9890
2013), drug therapeutic activity in DNA cleavage (Kumar et
al., 2011), and phosphatase mimetic activity (Kumar et al.,
2011; Gultneh et al., 1999). The coordination environment of
the title compound, illustrated in Fig. 1, has been observed in
zinc(II) complexes with tridentate N,N,Oligands (Hens &
Rajak, 2015; Kim et al., 2015). Transition metal complexes of
the related tridentate ligand, 1,3(2-pyridyliminometh-
yl)phenylenediamine, have been shown to form a variety of
interesting complex structures (Kundu et al., 2015; Kumar et
al., 2011; Bluhm et al., 2003; Souza et al., 2011; Sanyal et al.,
2014; Okeke et al., 2017a,b; Okeke et al., 2018). The presence
of a substituent on the aromatic group may change the
geometry, coordination number, and consequently the reac-
tivity of the resulting complexes especially because of its
location on the aromatic ring that coordinates to the metal ion
through the phenoxide oxygen atom.
In a continuation of our model studies of zinc complexes as
Lewis acid center in zinc-containing hydrolytic enzymes
(Gultneh et al., 1996; Gultneh et al., 1999; Okeke et al.,
2017a,b) we report the structure of the title compound. This
trinuclear zinc(II) complex has a 3:4 metal ion-to-ligand ratio.
Since the title compound lies on a crystallographic twofold
axis, the three zinc(II) ions form an angle of 180
o
and thus are
strictly linear. The central zinc atom is four coordinate and
may serve as a suitable complex for various reactions because
the Zn
II
Lewis acid metal center contains vacant coordination
sites for coordination to a nucleophile.

The trinuclear complex cation, [Zn

(L)

]
2+
, lies on a crys-
tallographic twofold axis (Fig. 1). The zinc(II) ions contain
varying coordination spheres. Zn1 and Zn3 adopt O
2
N
4
coordination spheres while the central zinc atom Zn2 adopts
an O
4
coordination sphere with a distorted tetrahedral
geometry with O—Zn—O bond angles ranging from
88.95 (11) to 120.11 (8)and Zn—O bond lengths of
1.9512 (19) and 1.9602 (19) A
˚. For the six-coordinate terminal
zinc atoms, as is usual for complexes containing both Schiff
base imine and pyridine N donors, the former form shorter
bonds [Zn1—N1 = 2.122 (2) A
˚and Zn3—-N3 = 2.067 (2) A
˚]
while the latter form longer bonds [Zn1—N2 = 2.148 (2) A
˚
and Zn3—N4 = 2.177 (2) A
˚] to zinc. The metrical parameters
involving the bridging phenolate O donors are significantly
different. The bonds to the central Zn2 are considerably
shorter than those to the terminal Zn1 and Zn3 [O1—Zn1 =
2.194 (2) A
˚; O2—Zn3 = 2.266 (2) A
˚; O1—Zn2 = 1.960 (2) A
˚;
O2—Zn2 = 1.951 (2) A
˚] and the bridging angles are Zn1—
O1—Zn2 = 96.78 (8)and Zn2—O2—Zn3 = 93.73 (8).The
distortion from an octahedral geometry can be seen from the
cis and trans angles which range from 77.49 (10) to 98.19 (9)
and 160.47 (13) to 173.41 (12), respectively. Since all three Zn
atoms lie on the twofold axis, the Zn1—Zn2—Zn3 bond angle
is exactly 180. These metrical parameters are similar to those
found in the most closely similar complex (Kim et al., 2015)
where Zn—O distances for the terminal Zn atoms range from
2.126 (3) to 2.155 (4) A
˚while those for the central Zn atom
range from 1.945 (3) to 1.965 (4) A
˚with Zn—O—Zn bridging
angles ranging from 97.3 (1) to 98.7 (1). The Zn—N
imine
and
Zn—N
py
bond lengths range from 2.077 (4) to 2.117 (4) A
˚and
2.140 (4) to 2.176 (4) A
˚, respectively. In this complex there is
no crystallographically imposed symmetry; however, the Zn—
Zn—Zn bond angle is still close to 180 at 172.51 (3).

3. Supramolecular features
In the cation there are interactions between the di-
bromophenyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.602 (2) A
˚;
CgIperp = 3.344 (1) A
˚; slippage = 1.319 (2) A
˚] as well as
halogen-bonding interactions [BrBr 3.6123 (5) A
˚;C

cation, which stabilize its conformation. In addition there C–
HO interactions between the anions and both the cations
and solvent molecules as well as C—HN interactions
between the cation and solvent molecules (Table 1). These
interspecies interactions link the cations, anions and solvent
molecules into a complex three-dimensional array as shown in
Fig. 2.
4. Database survey
A search of the Cambridge Structural Database for complexes
of zinc coordinated to (E)-2-({[2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]imino}-
methyl)phenolato type ligands gave 26 hits of which only one
was similar to the title compound in that it contained a
trinuclear Zn complex where this ligand was acting as a
bridging group to the central Zn atom (Diop et al., 2014) .
However, in this case each terminal Zn complex only provided
one bridging O atom and the coordination sphere of the
central Zn was hexacoordinate with six O-atom donors in
contrast to the title compound where the central Zn is four–
coordinate with the terminal Zn complexes provided two
bridging atoms through their phenolic O atoms. A search for
structures containing three zinc atoms with the central zinc
atom in an
2
-O
4
environment and with the terminal zinc
atoms coordinated to Schiff base derivatives gave four hits
[MAYVEQ, Quilter et al., 2017; GOWGUW, Hens & Rajak,
2015; HUQVUL, Akine et al., 2009; KURPAL, Kim et al.,
2015] of which that using the ligand, 2-methyl-6-{[(pyridin-2-
ylmethyl)imino]methyl}phenol in the presence of NH
4
PF
6
resulted in a closely related trinuclear zinc complex with the
central Zn atom four-coordinate with only O-atom donors
from the bridging phenolate ligands (Kim et al., 2015). The
major differences between this complex and 1is a –CH
2
link
between the imine N and pyridine ring in the former instead of
a –CH
2
-CH
2
link in the latter, and different substituents on
the phenyl ring.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
2-(2-Pyridyl)ethylamine (0.3023 g, 2.474 mmol) was dissolved
in 50 mL of methanol. 3,5-Dibromosalicylaldehyde (0.6927 g,
2.474 mmol) was added to the solution and the mixture was
refluxed for 5 h. The zinc(II) complex was prepared by
reacting the ligand in 50 ml of methanol with Zn(ClO

)

O
(1.3821 g, 3.712 mmol) with no added base. The mixture was
stirred at room temperature overnight. The methanol was
removed by rotary evaporation. The product was crystallized
by slow evaporation of a solution in acetonitrile giving pale-
yellow to colorless crystals.

Special details
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance
matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles;
correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate
(isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Halogen bonded lamellar supramolecular motifs have been found in the series of trinuclear crystals of Zn II –Ln III –Zn II complexes with N,N′-bis(5-bromo-3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diamino-2-propanol, with formulae [{Zn(HL)} 2 (μ-OAc) 2 Ln]NO 3 ·2CH 3 OH·2H 2 O (1,2) and [{Zn(HL)} 2 (μ-OAc) 2 Ln]NO 3 ·5.33H 2 O (3,4), where Ln = La (1), Ce (2), Er (3) and Yb (4). The isoskeletal crystals form monoclinic (1,2) or trigonal (3,4) layers built of halogen bonded dimers or trimers. The role of halogen bonding as a stabilizing force in building of long-range synthon aufbau modules (LSAM) is discussed. The heterotrinuclear coordination compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, thermal analysis, photoluminescence measurements, X-ray crystallography and Hirshfeld surface analyses.

The improvements in the crystal structure refinement program SHELXL have been closely coupled with the development and increasing importance of the CIF (Crystallographic Information Framework) format for validating and archiving crystal structures. An important simplification is that now only one file in CIF format (for convenience, referred to simply as `a CIF') containing embedded reflection data and SHELXL instructions is needed for a complete structure archive; the program SHREDCIF can be used to extract the .hkl and .ins files required for further refinement with SHELXL. Recent developments in SHELXL facilitate refinement against neutron diffraction data, the treatment of H atoms, the determination of absolute structure, the input of partial structure factors and the refinement of twinned and disordered structures. SHELXL is available free to academics for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems, and is particularly suitable for multiple-core processors.

The new computer program SHELXT employs a novel dual-space algorithm to solve the phase problem for single-crystal reflection data expanded to the space group P1. Missing data are taken into account and the resolution extended if necessary. All space groups in the specified Laue group are tested to find which are consistent with the P1 phases. After applying the resulting origin shifts and space-group symmetry, the solutions are subject to further dual-space recycling followed by a peak search and summation of the electron density around each peak. Elements are assigned to give the best fit to the integrated peak densities and if necessary additional elements are considered. An isotropic refinement is followed for non-centrosymmetric space groups by the calculation of a Flack parameter and, if appropriate, inversion of the structure. The structure is assembled to maximize its connectivity and centred optimally in the unit cell. SHELXT has already solved many thousand structures with a high success rate, and is optimized for multiprocessor computers. It is, however, unsuitable for severely disordered and twinned structures because it is based on the assumption that the structure consists of atoms.

Metal complexes with Schiff base ligands have been suggested as potential phosphors in electroluminescent devices. In the title complex, tetrakis[6-methyl-2-({[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]imino}methyl)phenolato-1:2κ(8)N,N',O:O;3:2κ(8)N,N',O:O]trizinc(II) hexafluoridophosphate methanol monosolvate, [Zn3(C14H13N2O)4](PF6)2·CH3OH, the Zn(II) cations adopt both six- and four-coordinate geometries involving the N and O atoms of tetradentate 6-methyl-2-({[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]imino}methyl)phenolate ligands. Two terminal Zn(II) cations adopt distorted octahedral geometries and the central Zn(II) cation adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The O atoms of the phenolate ligands bridge three Zn(II) cations, forming a dicationic trinuclear metal cluster. The title complex exhibits a strong emission at 469 nm with a quantum yield of 15.5%.

Reactions of zinc(II) and cadmium(II) halides with an N,N,O-donor Schiff-base ligand HL (obtained by the 1:1 condensation of salicylaldehyde and 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine) yield six new phenoxo bridged dinuclear complexes of the general formula [Zn2L2X2] (1–3) and [Cd2L2X2] (4–6), where X = Cl, Br and I, respectively. The complexes have been characterized by routine physicochemical techniques: elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectral studies, conductivity and solid state thermal studies. Complexes 1, 2 and 6 have further been characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analyses. The ligands, as well as all six complexes, are highly fluorescent. For the ligand, the emission band is attributed to a π–π∗ transition, whereas for the complexes the emissions may be assigned to ligand-to-metal charge transfers (LMCT). Quantum yield calculations revealed that the metal complexes exhibit more intense fluorescence compared to the ligand, which is supposed to be due to the enhancement of rigidity of the ligand on chelation, which reduces the loss of energy through non-radiative channels of the intraligand emission excited state. Thermogravimetric analyses of the complexes suggest that upon heating the thermally stable final product in the case of complexes 1–3 is ZnO, 6 gives CdO, whereas for complexes 4 and 5 the final product remains unidentified.

A mononucleating (HL(1)) and a dinucleating (HL(2)) "end-off" compartmental ligand have been designed and synthesized by controlled Mannich reaction using p-cresol and bis(2-methoxyethyl)amine, and their formation has been rationalized. Six complexes have been prepared on treating HL(1) and HL(2) with Zn(II)X2 (X = Cl(-), Br(-), I(-)) with the aim to investigate their hydrolytic activity on phosphoester bond cleavage. Interestingly, the mononucleating ligand was observed to yield dinuclear complexes, [Zn2(L(1))2X2] (1-3), while the potential dinucleating ligand generated mononuclear complexes, [Zn(HL(2))X2] (4-6). Four (1-4), out of six complexes studied, were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD): the Zn ion exhibits trigonal bipyramidal and tetrahedral coordination spheres in the di- and mononuclear complex, respectively. The hydrolytic kinetics, followed spectrophotometrically with 4-nitrophenylphosphate (4-NPP) in buffered dimethylformamide (DMF) (97.5% DMF, v/v) because of solubility reasons, under excess substrate conditions (substrate:complex = 20:1), indicated that the complexes enormously accelerate the rate of phosphomonoester hydrolysis with first order rate constants (kcat) in the range 2-10 s(-1) at 25 °C. In each case kinetic data analyses have been run by Michaelis-Menten treatment. The efficacy in the order of conversion of substrate to product (p-nitrophenolate ion) follows the trend 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6, and the ratio of kcat of an analogous dinuclear to mononuclear complex is ≃2. An electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) study has revealed the dissociation of the centrosymmetric dinuclear complex to two mononuclear species instead of a syn-cooperative catalysis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to rationalize our proposed mechanistic pathway for phosphatase activity. The comparative analysis concludes the following facts under experimental conditions: (1) the halide bound to the active site affects the overall rate in the order: Cl(-) > Br(-) > I(-) regardless of nuclearity; (2) dinuclear complexes prevail over the mononuclear ones.

Zn(II) complexes of the ligands bis(2-pyridyl-2-ethyl)amine (bpea), bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (bpa), 2,2′-dipyridylamine (dipyam) and 2,2′-dipyridyl (dipy) [Zn2(bpea)2(μ-OH)](ClO4)3 (1), [Zn(bpa)(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (2), [Zn(dipyam)2](BF4)2 (3), [Zn(dipyam)2(DMF)2] (ClO4)2 (4) and [Zn(dipy)2(H2O)] (BF4)2 (5) have been prepared and characterized. The structures of complexes 1 to 4 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In complexes 1 and 3, Zn(II) coordinates in slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry and in complexes 2 and 4 in a distorted octahedral geometry. The number and the pKa values of the zinc-coordinated water molecules in solutions in water/DMF mixed solvent were determined by potentiometric titrations against aqueous NaOH solution. The pKa values are 8.35, 9.85, 8.00 and 9.01 for complexes 1, 2, 3, and 5 respectively. The pKa value for the hydroxo-bridged dimeric complex 1 is about 0.8 pH units greater than the pKa value (7.55) for the analogous complex [Zn2(μ-OH)(m-xylbpea)](ClO4)3 of the ligand bis(bis(2-pyridyl-2-ethyl) amino)m-xylene (m-xylbpea) in which the two chelating bis(2-pyridyl-2-ethyl)amine arms are tethered by a m-xylyl group. The lower pKa value in the latter complex is attributed to the entropic advantage gained as the two Zn(II) ions are held together by the dinucleating ligand. However, in the hydrolysis of bis (p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) catalyzed by Zn(II) complexes, the observed rate constant above pH 8 for complex 1 is significantly higher than that shown by the analogous complex formed by the dinucleating ligand. This difference for the latter complex may be due to the formation of a catalytically less active, possibly a double hydroxy-bridged moiety at lower pH values. The rate constants are observed to increase and pass through a maximum at or around the pKa values of all the zinc complexes reported here. This is consistent with the widely accepted mechanism in many hydrolytic reactions catalyzed by metal complexes in which the metal-coordinated hydroxide is the reactive nucleophile. Second-order rate constants of the order of 10−3–10−2 M−1 s−1 were calculated for the hydrolysis of BNPP at the optimum pH values for the complexes studied here.

Continuing our interest in tridentate ligands to develop new prototypes of cobalt-based metallodrugs for combating cancer, modifications in the backbone of HL1, [(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-(pyridil-2-yl)ethyl]amine) were proposed in order to modulate the redox potential of new Co(III) complexes. Three ligands with electron withdrawing groups were synthesized: HL2: [(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)(2-(pyridil-2-yl)ethyl]amine); HL3: [(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-(pyridil-2-yl)ethyl]imine) and HL4: [(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)(2-(pyridil-2-yl)ethyl]imine). They were used to obtain the respective mononuclear complexes 2, 3 and 4, which are discussed compared to the previous reported complex 1 (obtained from HL1). The new complexes were characterized and studied by several techniques including X-ray crystallography, elemental and conductimetric analysis, IR, UV-vis and (1)H NMR spectroscopies, and electrochemistry. The substitutions of the group in the para position of the phenol (HL1 and HL2) and the imine instead of the amine (HL3 and HL4), promote anodic shifts in the complexes reduction potentials. The influence of these substitutions in the biological activities of the Co(III) complexes against the murine melanoma cell line (B16F10) was also evaluated. Little effect was observed on cellular viability decrease for all free ligands, however the coordination to Co(III) enhances their activities in the following range: 1>4≈2>3. The data suggest that no straight correlation can be addressed between the reduction potential of the Co(III) center and the cell viability.

Four kinds of folded structures are formed upon the metal complexation of a bis(N(2)O(2)) ligand in which two oxime-type N(2)O(2) chelate ligands are connected by a flexible diethyleneoxy linker. The N(2)O(2) coordination sites are intended for d-block transition-metal ions, and the diethyleneoxy linker can interact with hard metal cations. Meso double helical, folded Omega-shaped, S-shaped helical, and single helical structures were formed depending on the metal combination. The difference in the affinity to metal cations resulted in variation of the folding modes and enabled the structural conversion between the folded structures.

A porous anionic metal-organic framework, bio-MOF-1, constructed using adenine as a biomolecular building block is described. The porosity of this material is evaluated, its stability in biological buffers is studied, and its potential as a material for controlled drug release is investigated. Specifically, procainamide HCl is loaded into the pores of bio-MOF-1 using a simple cation exchange process. Exogenous cations from biological buffers are shown to affect the release of the adsorbed drug molecules.

Zinc is required for the activity of > 300 enzymes, covering all six classes of enzymes. Zinc binding sites in proteins are often distorted tetrahedral or trigonal bipyramidal geometry, made up of the sulfur of cysteine, the nitrogen of histidine or the oxygen of aspartate and glutamate, or a combination. Zinc in proteins can either participate directly in chemical catalysis or be important for maintaining protein structure and stability. In all catalytic sites, the zinc ion functions as a Lewis acid. Researchers in our laboratory are dissecting the determinants of molecular recognition and catalysis in the zinc-binding site of carbonic anhydrase. These studies demonstrate that the chemical nature of the direct ligands and the structure of the surrounding hydrogen bond network are crucial for both the activity of carbonic anhydrase and the metal ion affinity of the zinc-binding site. An understanding of naturally occurring zinc-binding sites will aid in creating de novo zinc-binding proteins and in designing new metal sites in existing proteins for novel purposes such as to serve as metal ion biosensors.
