Synthesis, Crystal Structure of Zinc Complex with 3-Hydroxy-1-adamantanecarboxylic Acid

Abstract

A novel zinc(II) complex, [Zn(HOC₁₀H₁₄COO)₂(1,10-phen)]·6H₂O (1) was synthesized by hydrothermal method from zinc hydroxide, 1,10-phenanthroline and 3-hydroxy-1-adamantane acid (C₁₀H₁₄(HO)COOH). It was characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Its crystal structure was determined by single crystal diffraction technique. The complex, C₃₄H₅₀N₂O₁₂Zn, crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 1. 25822(6) nm, b = 0.72825(2) nm, c = 2.63620(6) nm, b = 106.067(1)°,V = 3.50999(19) nm³, Z = 4, Mr = 744.15, F(000) = 1576, Dc = 1.408 mg cm^-3, μ(Mo K_a) = 0.765 mm^-1.
