Salicylato[tris(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine]zinc(II) perchlorate dimethylformamide sesquisolvate

H. Wu, R. Yun, J. Ding and J. Yuan

Abstract: In the title complex, [Zn(C₇H₅O₃)(C₂₇H₂₇N₇)]ClO₄·1.5C₃H₇NO, the Zn^II atom is five-coordinated by four N atoms from a tris(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine ligand and one O atom from a salicylate ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry ( parameter = 0.84), with approximate molecular C₃ symmetry. One dimethylformamide molecule lies on a general position and is disordered over two coplanar orientations with equal occupancy. A second dimethylformamide molecule is disordered about a twofold rotation axis.
