摘要:
By reacting [M-II(valpn)] or [M-II(valdmpn)] mononuclear complexes with 4-aminopyridine in different molar ratios, five [M-II(valXpn)(4-NH2-py)] and one [Ni-II(valdmpn)(4-NH2-py)(2)] complexes were obtained and structurally characterized (M-II = Ni-II, Cu-II, Zn-II; valpnH(2) and valdmpnH(2) are the Schiff bases resulted from the condensation of o-vanillin with 1,3-propylenediamine and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propylenediamine respectively). In the [Cu(valpn)(4-NH2-py)], [Ni(valpn)(4-NH2-py)], [Zn(valpn)(4-NH2-py)] and [Ni(valdmpn)(4-NH2-py)] complexes the metal ions are pentacoordinated with a square pyramidal geometry. The specific hydrogen bond interactions of the amino group belonging to the 4-aminopyridine with the free O2O'(2) compartment of the Schiff base ligands led to various supramolecular architectures: rectangles, chains, and ladders. The spectroscopic properties of the compounds were also investigated. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
