A new ligand containing selenium, Se (CH 2 -N-Btrzole) 2 (L se ) (Btrzole = benzotriazole) and its cobalt(II) complex, Co(L se ) 2 (SCN) 2 , have been synthesized and the molecular structures of the title compounds have been determined by X-ray techniques. The L se is a meso-configuration with a symmetric plane through the Se center, the intermolecular weak interactions of Se-Se, Se-N and π -π stacking between benzotriazole rings to extend the molecular structure to two-dimensional network configuration. In the Co(II) complex, the metal center is in a six-coordinated octahedral environment. Two Co(II) atoms are linked by two ligands to form a 20-membered macrocycle; the adjacent macrocycles are linked by coordinated bond of Co-N bentrozole to extend an infinite double strained chain. The SOD activity of the ligand and Co(II) complex have been studied by using the pyrogallol autoxidation method; thermal properties and luminescent properties of Co(II) complex have been tested, and the details of those properties have been 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.
