Crystal structure of non-centrosymmetric bis-(4-meth-oxy-benzyl-ammonium) tetra-chlorido-zincate.

The structure of the title non-centrosymmetric organic-inorganic hybrid salt, (C8H12NO)2[ZnCl4], consists of two 4-meth-oxy-benzyl-ammonium cations sandwiched between anionic layers, formed by isolated tetra-chlorido-zincate tetra-hedra. The double layers extend parallel to the ac plane. The crystal packing is assured by Coulombic inter-actions and by a complex N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding system mostly involving the positively charged ammonium groups and the chloride ligands of the isolated tetra-hedral [ZnCl4](2-) units. One of the methyl-ene-ammonium groups is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.48 (2):0.52 (2) ratio. The crystal investigated was twinned by non-merohedry with a twin component ratio of 0.738 (2):0.262 (2).

Chemical context

Non-linear optical (NLO) materials have received much attention in different research areas due to their potential applications in high-density optical data storage, electro-optical shutters, optical communication and signal processing (Maury & Le Bozec, 2005 ▸; Green et al., 2011 ▸; Evans & Lin, 2002 ▸). Mostly connected in the past to a few families of inorganic materials, the research was then extended to organic materials, generally salts of amino acids with organic acids, which are expected to have relatively strong NLO properties due to delocalized electrons at π–π* orbitals. More recently, organic–inorganic hybrid materials showing non-centrosymmetric structures started gaining attention in the field, since they are expected to offer enhanced properties, such as second harmonic generation efficiency, by combining the characteristic features of both organic and inorganic moieties. These materials are usually constituted by the crystal packing of inorganic anions (typically halogenidometalates) and organic ammonium cations ensured by hydrogen bonds and Coulombic inter­actions (Brammer et al., 2002 ▸). Herein we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a new organic–inorganic hybrid compound, bis­(4-meth­oxy­benzyl­ammonium) tetra­chlorido­zincate. This salt crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric space group and hence could be a potential candidate for second order non-linear optical properties.

Structural commentary

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure consists of an isolated tetra­chlorido­zincate anion, [ZnCl4]2− and two 4-meth­oxy­benzyl­ammonium cations, (C8H12NO)+, as shown in Fig. 1 ▸. One of the cations shows positional disorder of the methyl­ene­ammonium moiety. The lengths of the C—C, C—N and C—O bonds in the two independent 4-meth­oxy­benzyl­ammonium cations are in accordance with corresponding distances found in the literature (Groom et al., 2016 ▸). The ZnII atom is tetra­hedrally coordinated by four chloride ligands with Zn—Cl bond lengths ranging from 2.249 (2) to 2.289 (2) Å and Cl—Zn—Cl bond angles varying between 107.25 (8) and 112.41 (10)°.

Supra­molecular features

The crystal structure consist of 4-meth­oxy­benzyl­ammonium cations sandwiched between tetra­chlorido­zincate layers extending parallel to the ac plane, as shown in Fig. 2 ▸. The cationic units are linked into a two-dimensional network by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions (Table 1 ▸). The crystal packing is assured by a complex hydrogen-bonding system, mostly involving the positively charged ammonium groups and the chloride ligands of the isolated tetra­hedral [ZnCl4]2− units (Table 1 ▸), which reinforce the Coulombic inter­actions, as depicted in Fig. 3 ▸. Whereas the N2 atom is blocked by a very efficient hydrogen-bonding system involving five donor⋯acceptor distances ranging from 3.279 (8) to 3.452 (7) Å, the N1 ammonium group is disordered over two sets of sites as a consequence of a less efficient hydrogen bonding.

Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.37; last update February 2016; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) for related compounds showed the occurrence of the cadmium analogue of formula (C8H12NO)2[CdCl4] (Kefi et al., 2011 ▸), in which the coordination sphere of the metal is octa­hedral, giving rise to the formation of perovskite-like edge-sharing units that built up two-dimensional anionic layers parallel to the bc plane.

Synthesis and crystallization

Single crystals of (C8H12NO)2[ZnCl4] were synthesized starting from 4-meth­oxy­benzyl­amine (Sigma–Aldrich, 98%), zinc chloride (Sigma–Aldrich, 98%) and HCl (37%), which were weighted in the stoichiometric proportion conforming to the equation reaction:

2 C8H11NO + 2 HCl + ZnCl2 → (C8H12NO)2[ZnCl4]

After mixing the reagents in 50 ml of water and stirring at room temperature for more 3 h, the resulting solution was placed in a Petri dish and allowed to evaporate slowly. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained within a week (yield: 75%).

Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. The crystals of bis­(4-meth­oxy­benzyl­ammonium) tetra­chlorido­zincate were systematically affected by non-merohedral polar twinning. The ratio of the twin components of the crystal selected for X-ray analysis was refined to 0.738 (2):0.262 (2). One methyl­ene­ammonium group was found to be disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.52 (2):0.48 (2). During the refinement of the disordered group, the C—C and C—N bond lengths were constrained to be 1.50 (2) and 1.47 (1) Å, respectively. EADP and ISOR restraints (Sheldrick, 2015b ▸) were also applied. All H atoms were placed geometrically and refined using a riding-model approximation, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, N—H = 0.89 Å, and with U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C) or 1.5U eq(C, N) for methyl and ammonium H atoms, for which a rotating model was applied.

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.

Refinement. Refined as a 2-component twin.
