Structure of reaction products of hydrous and anhydrous zinc acetates with 1,10-phenanthroline
摘要:
A reaction of aqueous zinc acetate with 1,10-phenanthroline produces the ionic complex [(Phen)(2)Zn(OOCMe)](OOCMe) center dot 5H(2)O. A similar reaction of "anhydrous zinc acetate" [Zn-7(mu(4)-O)(2)(mu-OOCMe)(10)][eta-OC(Me)OHNEt3](2) in benzene yields a precipitate, which is recrystallized from acetonitrile into trinuclear (Phen)(2)Zn-3(mu-OOCMe)(6); and the reaction in acetonitrile yields mononuclear (Phen)Zn(OOCMe)(2) center dot MeCN. These complexes have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
