Abstract

The present article reports on the syntheses, crystal structures and luminescence properties of three solvate forms of a zinc(II) complex containing 4-{(E)-[(2-fluorophenyl)imino]methyl}-5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (HL). The reaction of zinc(II)acetate with the HL ligand in ethanol and acetonitrile led to the formation of two solvate analogues [Zn(L)2]·Solv (Solv – ethanol (1) and acetonitrile (2)). The properties of the [Zn(L)2]·Solv complexes were investigated by UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and the density functional theory calculations. Bader's topological analysis was performed to investigate the electronic peculiarities of Zn(II) polyhedra and non-covalent interactions within crystal packing of studied solvates.
