In this study, Zn (II) compound containing 8hydroxyquinoline (L1:8-Hq) and 2-picoline (L2: 2P) ligands was prepared and its elemental analysis was recorded. Infrared spectra of the ligands and the compound were obtained. The structure of the prepared compound was determined approximately based on the spectroscopic and analytical results. The infrared vibration frequencies of the prepared compound were calculated theoretically employing the ab-initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) methods with 6-311G(dp) basis set. Finally, the vibrational frequency values of the compound obtained both experimentally and theoretically were compared in details. It was observed that all the experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement with the literature.
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.
