Conclusion
The study presents a zinc(II) complex that exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry and is stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
Supporting Evidence
- The zinc atom is coordinated by a tridentate ligand and two nitrate ions.
- The crystal structure shows intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
- The compound was obtained with a yield of 28%.
Takeaway
Scientists made a special zinc compound using a chemical called 3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine, and it has a unique shape that helps it stick together.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by mixing 3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine with zinc nitrate in ethanol, followed by crystallization in DMF.
