Abstract

This paper reports the syntheses of two new complexes, [Co(L1)(H2O)2] (1) and [{Zn(L2)(μ-OAc)Zn(n-PrOH)}2] (2), from asymmetric halogen-substituted Salamo-type ligands H2L1 and H3L2, respectively. Investigation of the crystal structure of complex 1 reveals that the complex includes one Co(II) ion, one (L1)2− unit and two coordinated water molecules. Complex 1 shows slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry, forming an infinite 2D supramolecular structure by intermolecular hydrogen bond and π–π stacking interactions. Complex 2 contains four Zn(II)ions, two completely deprotonated (L2)3− moieties, two coordinated μ-OAc− ions and n-propanol molecules. The Zn(II) ions in complex 2 display slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal or square pyramidal geometries.

Highlights

  • N2 O2 chelating metal complexes owing to their various kinds of functionalities [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]

  • A part of the metal complexes are used as host–guest chemistry [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17], magnetism [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25], electrochemistry [26,27], biological activities [28,29,30,31,32,33,34], optical properties [35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43], catalysis [44,45], molecular recognition [35,36,46,47], and so forth

  • Salen-type N2 O2 compounds are capable of forming different types of complexes due to their several electron-rich donor centers [49] and the tautomerism effect of the enol and keto forms [50]

Summary

Introduction

Increasing attention has been absorbed in coordination chemistry of Salen-type. It is clear that the architectures of coordination molecule comprise metal ions (and metal clusters) that serve the roles of nodes and organic ligands as bridges. These exhibits diverse infinite one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) models with various exciting structural features, resulting coordination bonding, hydrogen bonding, aromatic π–π stacking interactions as well as van der Waals forces [48]. (nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol), and the molar conductance, UV-Vis spectra, TG-DTG and X-ray crystal structures were investigated
