A penta-coordinated bis-(8-aminoquinoline) monobenzoato zinc(II) benzoate complex favored by self-assembly formation

摘要

A simple method to synthesize a penta-coordinated bis-(8-aminoquinoline) monobenzoato zmc(II) benzoate complex and its reason for formation is explained.The 8-aminoquinoline is a common ligand for transition metal complexes [1].Generally,it co-ordinates to a metal as bi-dentate ligand [1] and it is also prone towards oxidation [2].As a ligand 8-aminoquinoline is relatively bulky planar ligand and has a -NH2 group that can co-ordinate to a metal as well as able to participate in hydrogen bond interactions.
