摘要:
The complex Zn(II)(HL)Cl(H2O) (H-2L = allopurinol = 1,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one) has been crystallized from aqueous solution. Crystal data: triclinic, space group P1- (no. 2), a = 7.052(2), b = 7.726(2), c = 8.341(4) angstrom, alpha = 69.78(3), beta = 87.75(3), gamma = 68.27(3)degrees and Z = 2. The complex exhibits a new centrosymmetric dimeric structure of the type [Zn2(mu-HL)2Cl2(H2O)2]. Two zinc ions with an intramolecular metal-to-metal distance of 3.713(2) angstrom are bridged by two N(8)-N(9)-chelating anionic allopurinol ligands. The dimeric complex units are stabilized by an extended network of hydrogen bonding contacts. The co-ordinating allopurinol rings are stacked with a mean spacing distance of 3.39 angstrom. A review of the co-ordinating properties of neutral, anionic and cationic allopurinol including recent crystallographic data is given.
