Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a zinc complex that exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.
Supporting Evidence
- The zinc complex has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.
- The two thiazole rings in the complex are twisted by a dihedral angle of 14.52°.
- Extensive hydrogen bonding stabilizes the crystal structure.
Takeaway
Scientists made a special zinc compound using two different molecules, and they found that the shape of the compound is a bit twisted.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized from an aqueous solution of DABT and ZnCl2 mixed with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and NaOH, followed by refluxing and crystallization.
