Abstract

A new mononuclear zinc(II) complex [ZnL1(MPA)I] (1) (HL1 = 2-[(4-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl]phenol, MPA = 4-methylpyridin-2-ylamine), and a new centrosymmetric dinuclear zinc(II) complex [Zn2L22I2] (2) (HL2 = 2-[(5-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl]phenol), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. In 1, the Zn atom is four-coordinate in a tetrahedral coordination, while those in 2 are five-coordinate in severely distorted square pyramidal coordinations. The complexes, as well as the two Schiff bases, have been screened and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities.
