Abstract

The title new compound, cis-[Cr(tmpcH)Cl2][ZnCl4]·MeOH (1) was prepared by using 1,4,8,11-tetrakis-(2-Methylpyridyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tmpc) with Cr(III) and its structure and electronic transition bands were determined. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n with a/Å = 16.9284(12), b/Å = 12.9024(9), c/Å = 20.0535(15), β/º = 109.6790(10), Z = 4. In the X-ray structure of the complex, it was found that the ligand bonds with Cr(III) through exo-coordination to form an octahedral geometry. The electronic spectral data also show that even in the solution state, the compound preserves a six coordinated structure around the metal ion as two bands were observed in the visible region of the spectra. The presence of cis-geometrical configuration in the compound was confirmed by the IR spectral studies.
