Cor. Debarbarin et al., ZINC(II) COMPLEXES DERIVED FROM POTENTIALLY HEXADENTATE (N4O2) ACYCLIC LIGANDS CONTAINING PYRIDINYL AND PHENOLIC GROUPS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (2), 1997, pp. 161-166
A group of zinc(II) complexes derived from potentially hexadentate (N4
O2) acyclic ligands derived from Schiff bases and bearing pyridinyl an
d phenolic arms have been prepared and characterized. The crystal stru
ctures of two of them show that hydrolysis of the corresponding pro-li
gand has occurred to give mononuclear zinc complexes. The co-ordinatio
n geometries around the zinc are approximately trigonal biopyramidal.
