Abstract

A novel 3,4,7,8-tetrachloro-1,10-phenanthroline (Cl4phen) Zn(II) complex has been synthesized. The complex, [Zn(Cl4phen)2(H2O)2](NO3)2·CH3CH2OH (1), has been identified and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis and photoluminescence studies. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex (1) belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c, a = 10.061(2) Å, b = 18.924(4) Å, c = 18.189(4) Å, β = 100.94(3)°, and Z = 4. Complex (1) consists of cationic species [Zn(Cl4phen)2(H2O)2]2+, NO3 − and CH3CH2OH. The zinc atom displays a distorted cis-N4O2 octahedral geometry. Via extended Zn–O–H···O–N–O···H–O–Zn bridge, every mononuclear unit is linked with other ones to form one-dimensional (1D) infinite chain of hydrogen bond system. Three-dimensional (3D) polymeric network arrangement was built via weak C–H···O and π-stacking interactions between Cl4phen moieties. A solvent-dependency effect of complex (1) was observed in spectroscopic properties.
