Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Urease Inhibitory Activity of Two Zinc Complexes with 2-[(3-Cyclohexylaminopropylimino)methyl]-6-alkoxyphenol

Abstract

Two new Schiff base zinc(II) complexes, [ZnL1IN 3 ] (1) and [ZnL2(N 3 ) 2 ] (2) (L1 = 2-[(3-cyclohexylaminopropylimino)methyl]-6-ethoxyphenol, L2 = 2-[(3-cyclohexylaminopropylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol), were prepared and structural characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both complexes are mononuclear zinc(II) compounds. The Zn atom in each complex is four-coordinated in a tetrahedral geometry. Both complexes show urease inhibitory activities.
