Abstract
The rational selection of ligands is vitally important in the construction of coordination complexes. Two novel ZnII complexes, namely bis(acetato-κO)-bis[1-(1H-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-κN3]zinc(II) monohydrate, [Zn(C13H15N5)2(C2H3O2)2]κH2O, (1), and bis(azido-κN1)bis[1-(1H-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-κN3]zinc(II), [Zn(C13H15N5)2(N3)2], (2), constructed from the asymmetric multidentate imidazole ligand, have been synthesized under mild conditions and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both complexes exhibit a three-dimensional supramolecular network directed by different intermolecular interactions between discrete mononuclear units. The complexes were also investigated by fluorescence and thermal analyses. The experimental results show that (1) is a promising fluorescence sensor for detecting Fe3+ ions and (2) is effective as an accelerator of the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate.
