Abstract
The coordination complex [Zn(phen)(MBT)2], which exhibits a distorted tetrahedral geometry, was synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray analysis and Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed the presence of several intermolecular C—H⋯N and C—H⋯π interactions.
The coordination complex [Zn(C7H4NS2)2(C12H8N2)] or [Zn(MBT)2(phen)], was synthesized using ethanol solutions of Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBTH-neutral). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the zinc atom resides on a crystallographic twofold axis within the asymmetric unit. In the complex, the zinc atom coordinates two 2-mercaptobenzothiazolate (MBT; anionic form of MBTH) ligands in a monodentate fashion through their sulfur atoms, while phenanthroline acts as a bidentate ligand, chelating the zinc center. Further structural analysis, including Hirshfeld surface and two-dimensional fingerprint plot studies, indicated the presence of multiple intermolecular interactions, particularly C—H⋯N and C—H⋯π interactions, contributing to the cohesion and packing of the crystal structure.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
