Two new zinc(II) acetates with 3- and 4-aminopyridineDojer, Brina (Avtor) Pevec, Andrej (Avtor) Belaj, Ferdinand (Avtor) Kristl, Matjaž (Avtor) zinc(II) acetate dihydrateaminopyridinex-ray crystal structurehydrogen bondsThe synthesis and characterization of two new zinc(II) coordination compounds with 3- and 4-aminopyridine are reported. They were obtained after adding a water solution of $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$ · $2H_2O$ or dissolving solid $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$ · $2H_2O$ in methanol solutions of 3- and 4-aminopyridine. The products were characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Colourless crystals of the compound synthesized by the reaction of $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$ · $2H_2O$ and 3-aminopyridine (3-apy), are built of trinuclear complex molecules with the formula $[Zn_3(O_2CCH_3)_6(3- apy)_2(H_2O)_2]$(1). The molecules consists of two terminal $Zn$ atoms, coordinated tetrahedrally, and one central $Zn$ atom, coordinated octahedrally. Colourless crystals, obtained by the reaction of $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$ · $2H_2O$ with 4-aminopyridine (4-apy), consist of a mononuclear complex $[Zn(O_2CCH_3)_2(4-apy)_2]$(2). Hydrogen-bonding interactions in the crystal structures of both complexes are reported.20152017-08-30 09:01:39Članek v reviji67759ISSN: 1318-0207UDK: 546.47:547.82OceCobissID: 14086149COBISS_ID: 1536350147DOI: 10.17344/acsi.2014.1111ISSN pri članku: 1318-0207NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:72RRPCZPsl
