Self-assembly of Zn(salphen) complexes: Steric regulation, stability studies and crystallographic analysis revealing an unexpected dimeric 3,3′-t-Bu-substituted Zn(salphen) complex

Abstract: The self-assembly features of a series of (non)symmetrical Zn(salphen) complexes have been studied in detail by X-ray crystallography, NMR and UV-vis techniques. The combined data demonstrate that the stability of these dimeric assemblies and the relative position of each monomeric unit within the dinuclear structure depend on the location and combination of the aromatic ring substituents.

“…This is important to verify whether the aggregates are stable enough to affect the biological behaviours. Following Kleij's method, 18,20 we also estimated the stability constants of the ZnL 1 aggregates in aqueous media. The relationship of the overall aggregation constant K agg , stepwise aggregation constant K n / n +1 , and the aggregation number n can be described using the following equation:(Znsalen) n + n Py ⇌ n Znsalen(Py) K = K Py n / K agg , K agg = K n / n +1 n –1 In this equation, K py represents the coordination constant of pyridine to the Zn center of ZnL 1 .…”

“…S2). The observed broadening can be assigned to a possible dimerization process [20]. Based on ZINDO/S semi-empirical electronic structure theoretical calculations and, as already reported for similar derivatives [16][17][18][19], the observed transitions must be predominantly p-p ⁄ (Fig.…”
