The title compound {[Zn(NIT4Py)(fum)(H2O)2]·H2O}n, where N1T4Py=2-(4'-pyridinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetra-methylimidazoline-l-oxyl-3-oxide and rum=fumarate, has been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a =6.9533(9), b=9.805(1), c=15.248(2)A, a=94.608(2), β=92.328(2),γ=105.840(2)°,C16H24N3O9Zn, Mr=467.75, V=994.8(2) A3, Z=2, Dc=1.562 g/cm3,μ(MoKa)=1.289 mm-1,F(000)=486, the final R=0.0243 and wR=0.0622 for 3505 independent reflections with Rint=0.0125. The Zn(Ⅱ) adopts a distorted five-coordinate triangle bipyramidal geometry. The basic framework structure of the complex is a 1-D chain. The intrachain hydrogen bonds are helpful to stabilize the 1-D chain structure. Furthermore, the chains are connected by O-H…O hydrogen bonds to give a 2-D double-layer network.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Mononuclear Copper(Ⅱ)Complex with 4,4',6,6'-Tetrabromo-2,2'-[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol

A new mononuclear Cu(Ⅱ)complex,[Cu(L)](H2L=4,4',6,6'tetrabromo-2,2'-[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol),has been synthesized and structurally characteri-zed.X-ray crystal stucture of the complex reveals that the Cu(Ⅱ)ion is four-coordinated by two oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms from L2-unit.Crystallographic data:monoclinic,space group P21/n with a=14.076(2),b=6.9801(14),c=19.858(2)(A),β=107.613(2)°,C16H10Br4CuN2O4,Mr =677.44,V=1859.6(5)(A)3,Dc=2.420 g/cm3,μ=9.796 mm-1,F(000)=1284,Z=4,the final R=0.0516 and wR=0.0938 for 1879 observed reflections with I＞20(I).The dihedral angel between the two coordination planes of Cu(1)-N(2)-O(4)and Cu(1)-N(1)-O(3))is 30.08(6)°.
