Synthesis, crystal structure and spectrothermal characterization of zinc(II) salicylato complex with 2,2′-azobispyridine, [Zn(Hsal)2(H2O)(abpy)]·H2O
Introduction
Salicylic acid and metal salicylates have been used for many years as anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic drugs in medicine [1], [2], [3]. In aqueous solutions, the acid affords hydrogensalicylate (Hsal−) and salicylate (sal2−) ions. The Hsal− anion can bind to metals as unidentate carboxylate, bidentate chelating (employing one carboxylate oxygen and hydroxyl oxygen atoms) or bidentate bridging carboxylate ligand. The studies of the material chemistry of the azoaromatic compounds have attracted increasing attention because of their unique combination of geometrical and electronic structures [4], [5], [6], [7]. The 2,2′-azobispyridine (abpy), derived from the 2,2′-bipyridine through the insertion of the azo (diazene) group between the two pyridyl moieties is known to form an unusual complex [8]. The abpy ligand has several different coordination modes involving five-membered chelate ring formation (NN–C–N–M), as shown in Scheme 1. When one 2-pyridyl ring remains uncoordinated, because of the repulsion effects between azo N-atom lone pairs and ortho-CH or pyridyl N-atom lone pairs, a singly chelating complex can form, as in IIa or IIb. The abpy ligand rings can also involve in π–π and π–ring interactions, forming extended networks of supramolecular architectures [9], [10]. These types of interactions have attracted particular attention especially in fields such as developing new functional materials, crystal engineering, molecular recognition and self-assembly of organometallic compounds [11], [12]. The aim of this work was to prepare a new mixed-ligand salicylato complex of Zn(II) with 2,2′-azobispyridine and undertake its crystal structure and spectrothermal analysis.

Synthesis of 1
Sodium salicylate (1.11 g, 6.96 mmol) was dissolved in water (50 ml) and added to the 50 ml of hot water solution of ZnSO4·7H2O (1.0 g, 3.48 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 323 K for 3 h and then cooled to room temperature. The crystals formed were filtered off and washed with water and acetone, and dried in a vacuum. Abpy was prepared following the method of Rivarola et al. [13]. A solution of abpy (0.11 g, 0.61 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 ml), was added dropwise with stirring to a solution of [Zn(Hsal)2
Description of the crystal structure
The asymmetric unit of the complex consists of one 1 unit. One of the o-hydroxyphenyl groups is disordered over two positions, with occupancies of 0.6 for A group and 0.4 for B group (Fig. 1). The Zn(II) ion is coordinated by two salicylate oxygen atoms [Zn1–O2 = 1.9682 (19) Å, Zn1–O5 = 2.007 (2) Å], two abpy nitrogen atoms [Zn1–N1 = 2.081 (2) Å; Zn1–N3 = 2.301 (2) Å], and an aqua ligand [Zn1–O1 = 2.044 (2) Å]. These bond distances are found to be similar to those of related Zn(II) complexes [17], [18]. All

2020, Chemical Engineering JournalCitation Excerpt :When one 2-pyridyl ring remains uncoordinated, a singly chelating complex can form due to repulsion effects between azo N-atom lone pairs and ortho-CH or pyridyl N-atom lone pairs. Most ions can coordinate with abpy ligand to form a five-member chelate ring [34,35]. In this study, Zn(II)-2,2′-azobispyridine-5,5′-bis(n-butyramide) (denoted as Zn(abpy-b)2) (Fig. 1a) is selected to be investigated for photoreversibility of the materials under light stimulus.

2018, Inorganica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The carboxylic groups of the aliphatic and aromatic acid may use their different coordination modes to coordinate to metal centers to form coordination complexes with different structures and geometries, not only for their structural diversity of topologies, but also for their ability to act as hydrogen bonding acceptors and hydrogen bonding donors for extension of supramolecular architectures [14]. Salicylate ligand can bind to metal center as a monodentate [15], bidentate chelating (hydroxyl oxygen atoms and one carboxylate oxygen [16], two oxygens of carboxylate group [17]), and bridging bidentate carboxylate ligand [18]. In addition, some salicylate complexes may show inhibitory action on the growth of bacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic drugs [19].
