Abstract
The zinc tetraammine complexes [Zn(NH3]4]F2 (ZAF) and [Zn(NH3]4](NO3)2 (ZAN) have been isolated from methanolic ammonia and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. As determined from Raman data, the tetrahedral structure of the zinc tetraammine cation complex is sustained in solutions that contain high concentrations of ammonia. Dilution of ZAF or ZAN solutions in bulk water results in the deposition of ZnO as determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Lower dilution, as when aqueous ZAF is applied to wet surfaces, results in Zn(OH)F deposition as identified by XRD. These mineral products are readily obtained from zinc tetraammine solutions under ambient conditions and lend themselves to biomedical and materials applications.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
