Sulfonamides obtained by reaction of 8‐aminoquinoline with benzenesulfonyl, toluene‐4‐sulfonyl and naphthalene‐2‐sulfonyl chlorides have been used to synthetize coordination compounds with ZnII with a ZnL2 composition. Determination of the crystal structures for the resulting complexes by X‐ray diffraction shows a distorted tetrahedral environment for the Zn2+ ions, sulfonamides acting as bidentate ligands through the nitrogen atoms from the sulfonamidate and quinoline groups. FT‐IR, 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectra of these compounds are also discussed.
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.
