imidazol-1-yl)-4-[3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl]heptane, N,N',N ''-tris[2-(i
midazol-4-yl)ethyl]benzene-1,3 and 1,3,5-tris[3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl]
benzene (TIPB) have been synthesized for a study of the formation and
characteristics of zinc complexes. TIPB forms a crystalline zinc compl
ex, not a tetrahedral complex but an octahedral complex. Other ligands
form either microcrystalline complexes or polymer complexes with zinc
.
