Coordination Polymers of Vanadium and Selected Metal Ions with N,O-Donor Schiff Base Ligands-Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Application

This review provides an overview of the synthesis, characterization and application of coordination polymers based on N,O-donor Schiff base ligands. The coordination polymers (CPs) represent a novel class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials with tunable compositions and fascinating structures. They are composed of metal ions and organic ligands. Therefore, the nature of the metal ion and type of organic ligand is the most significant factor in constructing targeted coordination polymers with the desired properties. Due to the versatile coordination modes, N,O-donor Schiff base ligands are also used to construct various CPs.

Synthesis, structural characterization, and theoretical analysis of novel zinc(ii) schiff base complexes with halogen and hydrogen bonding interactions

In this article, we present the synthesis and characterization of three zinc(ii) complexes, [ZnII(HL1)2] (1), [ZnII(HL2)2]·2H2O (2) and [ZnII(HL3)2] (3), with three tridentate Schiff base ligands, H2L1, H2L2, and H2L3. The structures of the complexes were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. DFT calculations were performed to gain insights into the self-assembly of the complexes in their solid-state structures. Complex 1 exhibits dual halogen-bonding interactions (Br⋯Br and Br⋯O) in its solid-state structure, which have been thoroughly investigated through molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface calculations, alongside QTAIM and NCIPlot analyses. Furthermore, complex 2 features a fascinating hydrogen-bonding network involving lattice water molecules, which serves to link the [ZnII(HL2)2] units into a one-dimensional supramolecular polymer. This network has been meticulously examined using QTAIM and NCIplot analyses, allowing for an estimation of the hydrogen bond strengths. The significance of H-bonds and CH⋯π interactions in complex 3 was investigated, as these interactions are crucial for the formation of infinite 1D chains in the solid state.

Some new nanostructure zinc complex: Synthesis, spectral analyses, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analyses, antimicrobial/anticancer, thermal behavior and usage as precursor for ZnO nanostructure

In this work, a new tridentate ligand, its some novel zinc halide/pseudohalide complexes and their antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects of them are described. Characterization data of these compounds have been achieved via several physical and micro analytical techniques. As typical one, X-ray crystal structure analysis of zinc azide complex was run showing zinc center is penta-coordinated by three nitrogen atoms from Schiff base ligand and two terminal azide nitrogen atoms as a distorted square pyramidal geometry. Hirshfeld surfaces analysis clears the important role of interactions related to azide groups (NH⋯N and CH⋯N hydrogen bonds) in the stabilization of its supramolecular structure. According to data obtained from thermal analysis (TG/DTG/DTA), all complexes are decomposed at four or more thermal stages below 1000 °C. Moreover antimicrobial activities of the compounds were screened against some gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Furthermore anticancer activities of the complexes were studied against MDA-MB468 and k562 as two cancer cell lines. In final, three zinc complexes were also synthesized in nano scale by sonochemical method and one of them was utilized as the precursor for preparation of nanostructure ZnO confirmed by XRD pattern and SEM image.
