Abstract

The acetato-bridged polymeric Schiff base zinc(II) complex [Zn(MENP)(CH3COO)]n (MENP = 2-[2-(methylamino)ethyliminomethyl]-4-nitrophenolate) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 14.054(2), b = 11.167(1), c = 9.323(2) Å, β = 92.053(2)°, V = 1462.2(4) Å3, Z = 4, R 1 = 0.0420 and wR 2 = 0.1019. The Zn atom is coordinated in a trigonal–bipyramidal manner by one Schiff base ligand and two bridging acetate anions. The adjacent Zn···Zn distance is 4.727(2) Å. The [Zn(MENP)] units are linked through the bridging acetate groups, forming chains running along the c axis. The complex shows slight cytotoxic property to both normal and carcinoma cells.

A new acetato-bridged polymeric Schiff base zinc(II) complex was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Zn atom is coordinated in a trigonal–bipyramidal manner by one Schiff base ligand and two bridging acetate anions. The adjacent Zn···Zn distance is 4.727(2) Å. The complex shows slight cytotoxic property to both normal and carcinoma cells.
