Abstract: The reaction of (n-Bu3Sn)2O with (E)-5-(pyridin-4-yl-methyleneamino)isophthalic

acid (LH2) in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 resulted in the formation of a 2D coordination polymer

[(n-Bu3Sn)2(µ-L)]n (1). The structure of 1 contains a 36-membered macrocycle as its repeating

building block. The reactions of Me3SnCl or (Ph3Sn)2O with LH2, on the other hand, result in the

generation of [(Me3Sn)2(µ-L)(H2O)]n (a neutral 1D coordination polymer) (2) and [(Ph3Sn)(µ-

L)(Et3NH)]n (an anionic 1D coordination polymer) (3) respectively. Compounds 1-3 show a rich

supramolecular architecture in their solid-state as a result of multiple secondary interactions.

Introduction

Apart from their utility in various areas including catalysis, organotin compounds, in general,

and organooxotin compounds in particular are of considerable interest because they display a

rich structural diversity.1 Many interesting types of organoxotin compounds, possessing novel

structural features, have been discovered in the reactions of organotin oxides, -hydroxides and

oxide-hydroxides with protic acids (carboxylic acids, phosphinic acids, phosphonic acids and

sulfonic acids).2-4 Another reason of interest among this family of compounds is the realization

that the organostannoxane core can be used as an inert scaffold to support a functional

periphery.5 In light of the recent surge of research activity in metal-organic frameworks6 there

have also been attempts to delineate the reaction products involving appropriate organotin

substrates and dicarboxylic acids.7 However, this field is still sparsely investigated. Recent work

from some research groups7(a)-(f) and ours7(g)-(n) have thrown open the exciting possibilities that

exist in these systems. Thus, for example, Höpfl and co-workers have reported the isolation of

novel macrocycles and coordination polymers in the reactions of diorganotin compounds with

aromatic dicarboxylic acids.7(c) From our research group we have explored the reactions of

organotin compounds with pyrazole dicarboxylic acids as well as pyridine dicarboxylic acids and

have shown the formation of novel macrocycles and coordination polymers (Chart 1). More

recently we have also reported selective gas adsorption (H2 and CO2 over N2) property of a 4-

connected 3-fold interpenetrated triorganotin coordination polymer with a sqc-topology. This

coordination polymer involved the use of an imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid as the reactant.7(m)

Many of the above studies involved diorganotin precursors and dicarboxylic acids. We have felt

that a better understanding can be achieved if the reactions involving triorganotin compounds

with dicarboxylic acids are studied, since the complexities would be much less in this system.

Accordingly, we have investigated the reactions of (n-Bu3Sn)2O, Me3SnCl and (Ph3Sn)2O with

(E)-5-(pyridin-4-yl-methyleneamino)isophthalic acid (LH2) and the products obtained viz., [(n-

Bu3Sn)2(µ-L)]n (1), [(Me3Sn)2(µ-L)(H2O)]n (2) and [(Ph3Sn)(µ-L)(Et3NH)]n (3) were

characterized as coordination polymers.

Results and Discussion

The reaction of LH2 with various triorganotin precursors (n-Bu3Sn)2O, Me3SnCl and (Ph3Sn)2O

afforded compounds 1-3 (Scheme 1; see also experimental section). 1 is a 2D-coordination

polymer built by the fusion of 36-membered macrocycle repeat units. 2 and 3 are 1D-

coordination polymers. While 2 is a neutral coordination polymer, 3 is anionic and contains

triethylammonium counter cations. Compounds 1−3 do not retain their structural integrity in

solution as evidenced by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) (see experimental

Section).

X-ray Crystal Structure of 1

The X-ray crystal structure of 1 is depicted in Figure 1a. Selected metric parameters of 1

are summarized in Table 2. Compound 1 is a 2D coordination polymer owing to the 4.11101

coordination mode of the ligand (Chart 2a). Each ligand binds to four tin atoms which includes a

bidentate coordination of one carboxylate group and a monodentate coordination of another

carboxylate group along with coordination from the pyridine nitrogen (Figure 1b). Two

different types of tin centers are present in 1. Both of these (Sn1 and Sn2) are 5-coordinated in a

distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In Sn1 both the axial positions are occupied by oxygen

atoms [O1 and O3; Sn1-O1, 2.099(5)Å; Sn1-O3, 2.474(4)Å] (see Supporting Information). On

the other hand the axial positions around Sn2 are occupied by an oxygen and a nitrogen atom

[O4 and N2; Sn2-O4, 2.181(4); Sn2-N2, 2.509(5) Å] (see Supporting Information). The 2D

coordination polymer of 1 contains inter-connected 36-membered tetranuclear macrocyclic rings

(Figure 1c). In spite of its large size, the 36-membered macrocylic ring is nearly planar. The

mean plane information for the macrocylic ring is summarized in Supporting Information. The

packing organization reveals that the 2D sheets are arranged parallel to each other with a slight

offset in an AB type arrangement (Figure 1d). Intermolecular C-H--π interactions serve as the

glue between the stacked sheets. The inter layer distance is approximately ~15 Å [A--A

distance]. It is interesting to compare the structure of 1 with some literature precedents. Thus, we

have reported previously a 2D-coordination polymer consisting of a tetranuclear macrocycle

(Sn4O6C2) (Chart 1a).7(k) A coordination polymer containing a trinuclear macrocycle

(Sn3O3N3C9) was reported by Höpfl and co-workers in the reactions of diorganotin compounds

with pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (Chart 1b).7(c) The orientation of the coordination sites of the

ligand LH2, used in the present study, are comparable with pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid (Chart

2b). We have also reported, recently an organotin-based 2D coordination polymer, by using

pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. This compound was shown to contain three types of organotin

macrocycles [28-membered (Sn4O6C16N2)], [20-membered (Sn4O6C8N2)] and [24-membered

(Sn4O6N2C12)] (Charts 1d-1f). 7(l) However, in spite of the fact that in the latter as well in the

present instance the ligand is involved in a 4.11101 coordination (Chart 2a) compound 1 contains

only one type of organotin macrocycle (Sn4O6N4C22) as discussed above.

X-ray Crystal structure of 2

The X-ray crystal structure of 2 is shown in Figure 2a. Selected metric parameters of this

compound are summarized in Table 2. Compound 2 is a 1D coordination polymer formed as a

result of the 3.10101 coordination mode of the ligand LH2 (Chart 2a). In 2, the ligand binds to

three tin centers; both the carboxylate groups are monodentate along with the pyridine nitrogen

atom (Figure 2b). The growth of the coordination polymer is arrested at the Sn2 centre as a result

of coordination by a terminal water molecule. Consequently, 2 forms a 1D coordination polymer.

Similar to 1, in this instance also the two tin centers (Sn1 and Sn2) are five-coordinate in a

distorted tbp coordination geometry (Supporting Information). While the Sn1 centre contains an

oxygen (O1) and a nitrogen (N1) in its axial sites [Sn1-O1, 2.165(4)Å; Sn1-N1, 2.532 (4)Å; O1-

Sn1-N1 175.22(15)°] the Sn2 centre contains two oxygen atoms (O3 and O5) in its axial sites

[Sn2-O3, 2.175(4) Å; Sn2-O5, 2.434(5) Å; O3-Sn2-O5, 171.7 (2)°]. The terminal H2O (O5) is

involved in O-H--O hydrogen bonding with a carboxylate oxygen atom [O5-H1W--O4, 2.020 (5)

Å; D-H-A angle, 172.2 (6)°; O5-H2W--O2, 2.005 (7); D-H-A angle, 165.2 (8)°] (Figure 2c). In

addition a C-H---N interaction between a methyl proton of the trimethyl tin motifs of one 1D

chain with the nitrogen atom N2 of another 1D chain [C18-H18---N2, 3.362(5)Å; D-H-A angle,

155.75(38)°] is also seen (Supporting Information). These two kinds of secondary interactions

collectively afford a 3D supramolecular architecture (Figure 2c).

X-ray Crystal structure of 3

In contrast to the structures of 1 and 2 where all the coordinating atoms take part in binding with

the tin centers, in 3, only the two carboxylate groups participate, both in a monodentate manner;

the pyridine nitrogen atom is not involved in coordination (Chart 2a). Such a 2.01010 mode of

coordination leads to the formation a 1D coordination polymer (Figure 3a). Another point of

difference is that 3 is an anionic coordination polymer; the asymmetric unit contains two

triphenyl tin units bound to two different, fully deprotonated ligands. The charge is balanced by

the presence of triethylammonium cations (Figure 3b). Selected metric parameters of 3 are

summarized in Table 2. The crystal packing reveals that two 1D chains of 3 are stacked together

by means of three different π-π interactions (Figure 3c).

Conclusion

The reactions of triorganotin compounds with (E)-5-(pyridin-4-ylmethyleneamino)isophthalic

acid (LH2) afforded 2D and 1D coordination polymers. Reaction of (n-Bu3Sn)2O with LH2

produces a 2D coordination polymer 1 containing 36-membered macrocycles as repeating

blocks. In contrast, the reaction of Me3SnCl with the ligand LH2 afforded a 1D coordination

polymer 2 which shows extended supramolecular assembly in the solid-state. Unlike 1 and 2

which are neutral coordination polymers, the reaction of (Ph3Sn)2O with LH2 results in the

generation of an anionic 1D coordination polymer 3.

Experimental Section

Solvents were distilled and dried prior to use according to standard procedures. (n-Bu3Sn)2O,

Me3SnCl, (Ph3Sn)2O, isonicotinaldehyde and 5-aminoisophthalic acid (all from Aldrich) were

used as received. Melting points were measured using a JSGW melting point apparatus and are

uncorrected. Elemental analyses were carried out using a Thermoquest CE instruments model

EA/110 CHNS-O elemental analyzer. Infrared spectra were recorded as KBr pellets on a FT-IR

Bruker-Vector Model. 1H and 119Sn NMR spectra were obtained on a JEOL-DELTA2 500 model

spectrometer using CDCl3 as the solvent. Chemical shifts were referenced with respect to

tetramethylsilane (for 1H NMR) and tetramethyltin (for 119Sn NMR) respectively. 119Sn NMR

spectra were recorded under broad-band decoupled conditions. Thermogravimetric Analysis was

carried out on a Perkin Elmer Pyris 6 Thermogravimetric analyzer. UV−Vis spectra were

recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 20 UV−Vis spectrometer in a 1 × 10−5 M methanol solution.

The steady-state emission spectra were measured using a Perkin-Elmer LS-55 model

spectrophotometer in a 1 × 10−5 M methanol solution.

X-ray Crystallography

The crystal data for 1-3 were collected on a Bruker SMART APEX CCD Diffractrometer.

SMART software package (version 5.628) was used for collecting data frames, SAINT software

package (version 6.45) for integration of the intensity and scaling and SADABS was used for

absorption correction. The structures were solved and refined by full-matrix least squares on F2

using SHELXTL software package.9 Non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic

displacement parameters. Figures (1-3) and their bonding parameters were obtained from

DIAMOND 3.1f software package.10 CCDC reference numbers for 1, 2 and 3 are 935287,

935288 and 935289 respectively.
