{4-Bromo-2-[(2-morpholinoethyl)iminomethyl]phenolato}iodido(methanol)zinc(II)

C.-L. Han

Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₁₃H₁₆BrN₂O₂)I(CH₃OH)], is a new mononuclear zinc(II) complex synthesized by the reaction of equimolar quantities of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde, 2-morpholinoethylamine and ZnI₂ in methanol. The Zn atom is four-coordinate in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, binding to a phenolate O and an imine N atom of the Schiff base ligand, the O atom of a methanol molecule and one I^- anion. In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are linked through intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.
