Large interaction energy for the homodimer and the heterodimer extracted from the supramolecular chain of a bent trinuclear zinc(ii) complex with a reduced Schiff base ligand

Abstract

The coordinated amino groups in a trinuclear zinc complex participate in strong H-bonding interactions that have been analysed. The dimerization energy is very large for both the homodimer and the heterodimer in the 1D supramolecular chain.
