Abstract

Reactions of ortho-, para- and substituted meta-xylenyl bridged bis(tacn) ligands with two or three molar equivalents of Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O at pH 5.0 in the presence of NaClO₄ or NH₄PF₆ resulted in the formation of a range of crystalline zinc complexes. In the presence of perchlorate counter ions the L^px and L^phx ligands gave rise to dinuclear Zn²⁺ coordination complexes [Zn₂Cl₂(L^px)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂(H₂O) and [Zn₂Cl₂(L^phx)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂(H₂O)₂ respectively, which formed infinite 1D polymeric chains. In contrast, in the presence of the hexafluorophosphate counter ion, the L^nix ligand formed a unique tetranuclear Zn²⁺ complex, [Zn₂Cl₂(L^nix)(H₂O)₃](Cl)(PF₆)₂(H₂O)₄, the L^cax ligand formed an octanuclear complex [Zn₈Cl₄(L^cax)₄(H₂O)₁₀](PF₆)_6.7(NO₃)_1.3(H₂O)_3.3, whilst the L^ox ligand formed a mononuclear sandwich structure, [Zn(L^ox)](PF₆)₂(H₂O). The protonated metal-free L^px ligand crystallised as [H₄(L^px)](NO₃)₂(PF₆)(H₂O)₂ with the stacked ligand cations forming a hydrogen-bonded network. These structural attributes provide an explanation for the significant differences in binding behaviour of recombinant N-terminally tagged proteins with the corresponding Zn²⁺-azamacrocyclic complexes, compared to the analogous Cu²⁺- or Ni²⁺-azamacrocyclic complexes, when immobilised onto support materials and used as immobilised metal affinity chromatographic (IMAC) adsorbents.
