(Received 30 November 2007; accepted 3 December 2007; online 6 December 2007)

The title complex, [Zn2(C2H5)2(C12H16BrN2O)2], is dimeric, bridged through the O atoms of the phenolate anions. The molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. Each Zn atom is penta­coordinated by two N atoms and two bridging O atoms of the tridentate salicylideneiminate ligands and one C atom from an ethyl group, forming a distorted square-pyramidal environment.

Comment top

Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(lactide) (PLA) and their copolymers have been attracting considerable attention due to their potential applications in many fields (Gref et al.,1994; Jeong et al., 1997). The major polymerization method employed to synthesize these polymers is the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones/lactides. Many zinc complexes with various ligands have been reported to be effective initiators/catalyst for ROP of lactones/lactides (Chamberlain et al., 2001; Williams et al., 2003; Dechy-Cabaret et al. 2004; Chen, et al., 2005, Wu, et al., 2005; Wu et al., 2006). Tripodal tridentate ligand supported zinc complexes have been synthesized and used for the polymerization of lactides and the polymerizations are living with relatively low polydispersities (Chisholm et al., 2000). Recently, we have synthesized a series of Schiff base zinc complexes which have shown high activity in the ROP of lactide (Chen et al., 2006). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of a NNO-tridentate Schifff base zinc complex (I), a potential catalyst for lactide polymerization.

The solid structure of (I) reveals a dimeric Zn(II) complex (Fig. 1.) containing a Zn2O2 core bridging through the oxygen atoms of the phenolate. The geometry around Zn atom is pentacoordinated with a distorted square pyramid geometry in which two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms are almost coplanar occupied the basal positions. The ethyl group is sitting on the axial position. The zinc atom is ca 0.888 Å above the O1/O1A/N1/N2 mean plane. The distances between the Zn atom and O1, O1A, N1, N2, and C13 are 2.142 (3), 2.060 (3), 2.180 (4), 2.236 (4), 2.022 (4) Å, respectively, which are all within a normal range for Schiff base Zn(II) complexes (Chen et al., 2006).

Experimental top

The ligand, 4-bromo-2-[1-(2-dimethylamino-ethylimino)ethyl]phenol was prepared by the reaction of 2-dimethylaminoethylamine (1.39 g, 22 mmol) with 5-bromo-2-hydroxyacetophenone (4.30 g, 20 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) at room temperature for 24 h. Volatile materials were removed under vacuum and the resulting material was dissolved in hot hexane (30 ml). The solution was then cooled at 250 K for 24 h giving yellow powder.

The title complex was synthesized by the following procedures. To an ice cold solution (273 K) of 4-bromo-2-[1-(2-dimethylamino-ethylimino)ethyl]phenol (0.57 g, 2.0 mmol) in 40 ml hexane was slowly added a diethyl zinc (2.2 ml, 1 M in hexane, 2.2 mmol) solution. The mixture was stirred at room temoerature for 3 h during which the formation of yellow precipitate was observed. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and then dried under vacuum to give yellow powder. Yellow crystals was obtained from the recrystallization of a mixed dichloromethane/hexane solution.

Refinement top

All non-H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map. The methyl H atoms were then constrained to an ideal geometry with C—H distances of 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), but each group was allowed to rotate freely about its C—C bond. All other H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distances in the range 0.95–1.00 Å and Uiso(H) =1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
