Synthesis, Crystal Structure of Zinc Complex {[Zn(CH3CH2COO)2(C7H6N2S)2]·CH3OH}

Abstract

A zinc(II) complex with the formula {[Zn(CH₃CH₂COO)₂(C₇H₆N₂S)2]·CH3OH}was synthesized by the reaction of zinc propionate [Zn(CH₃CH₂COO)₂] and 2-aminobenzothiazol (C₇H₆N₂S) in methanol medium. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectrum. The crystal structure of the complex {[Zn(CH₃CH₂COO)₂(C₇H₆N₂S)2]·CH₃OH} was also determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system with space group P2(1)/n and crystallographic data of the compound are: a = 0.89443(14) nm, b = 0.99724 (17) nm, c = 2.8002(3) nm, a = g = 90º, b = 96.929(2)°, V = 2.4795(6) nm³; D_c = 1.457 g/cm³; Z = 4; F(000) = 1128; m = 1.197 mm^-1.
