Three-Dimensional Zn(II) Complex Based on 2-[(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)Methyl]-6-Methyl-1H- Benzimidazole and Aliphatic Carboxylate

Abstract

The metal–organic complex {[Zn(immb)(suc)]·H2O}n [immb = 2-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-6-methyl-1H-benzimidazole, H2suc = succinic acid] has been prepared and its crystal structure determined. Its fluorescence and thermogravimetric data have also been obtained.

Synthesis, Characterization, and X-ray Crystal Structure Analysis of Zinc(II) Complex Based on 2-benzimidazolethiole

“…Zn(II) ion is surrounded by three sulfur atoms from the 2-BIT ligands and one oxygen atom from the Sulfate ion, and exhibits distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Zn1-S1, Zn1-S2, Zn1-S3, and Zn1-O41 bond distances of 2.3367(8), 2.3156(8), 2.3246(8), and 1.9654(17) Å are close to those described in other zinc complexes [26][27][28]. As presented in Table 2, the bond angles about the Zn(II) metal ion deflect from the standard value of 109 օ predicted for tetrahedral geometry, as demonstrated by the angles S1-Zn1-S2, S1-Zn1-S3, S1-Zn1-O41, and S2-Zn1-O41 (102.98(3), 111.97(3), 103.34(5), and 117.08(5) օ respectively).…”
