Synthesis and Structure of 1.5Zn(phen)_3·L·3NO_3 Supramolecule(phen=o-Phenanthroline,L=4-Aminoacetophenone Thiosemicarbazone)

A supramolecular framework,1.5Zn(phen)3·L·3NO3(C63H48Zn1.5N16O9S),has been synthesized.The ligand L was synthesized by the condensation of p-aminoacetophenone with thiosemicarbazide.The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system,space group C2/c,with a = 31.005(2),b = 15.114(2),c = 24.887(3) ,β = 94.260(2)o,Z = 8,V = 11630(2) 3,Dc = 1.489 g/cm3,Mr = 1303.29,λ(MoKα) = 0.71069 ,μ = 0.735 mm-1,F(000) = 5368,Rint = 0.0699,R = 0.0505 and wR = 0.0707.Two independent Zn atoms are both coordinated by six N atoms from three phen ligands.π-π and C-H···π interactions among the L ligands and Zn(phen)3 cations,π-π and C-H···π interactions among the Zn(phen)3 cations and N-H···O hydrogen bonds among the L ligands and nitrate anions connect the whole structure into a 3-D supramolecular framework.
