Structural Characterization of a Zinc(II) Bishexafluoroacetylacetonate Coordination Polymer with Bis(4-(1H-Imidazol-1-Yl)Phenyl)Methanone Ligands

Resumo

A novel zinc complex with the formula [Zn(hfac)₂(L¹)]_n (1) (L¹ = bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone) is synthesized and structurally characterized by IR, elemental analyses, and the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The zinc(II) ions of 1 are in a distorted octahedral environment with four O atoms of the hfac ligands and two N atoms from two L¹ ligands. Each L¹ acts as a bridging ligand to link two Zn(II) atoms to form a helical chain.
