Abstract

Reaction of zinc iodide, sodium azide and 2-[(3-dimethylaminopropylimino)methyl]-6-ethoxyphenol (HL) results in the formation of a trinuclear complex [Zn3L2(μ1,1-N3)2I2]. The complex is characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The complex possesses crystallographic two-fold rotation axis symmetry and crystallizes in the monoclinic system, C2/c space group, a = 23.241(2) Å, b = 10.849(1) Å, c = 17.384(2) Å, β = 120.868(1)°, V = 3762.4(6) Å3, Z = 4. The molecule consists of two [ZnL(N3)I] units connected together by a central Zn atom. The terminal Zn atom is fivecoordinated in a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, and the central Zn atom is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry. The Zn...Zn separation between the terminal and the central Zn atoms is 3.257(2) Å.
