Three new complexes: [M(L)(H 2 O)] [M = Zn (1), Co (2), Ni (3); H 2 L = 5-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aminoisophthalic acid] were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions at 180°C and were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of Xray diffraction analysis reveal that complexes 1-3 are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group P2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
