Zinc(II) di(o-hydroxybenzoate) complexes with imidazole and its derivativesSynthesis,thermal characterization and molecular structures

Mixed complexes of the type: Zn(Hsal)₂(Him)₂, Zn(Hsal)₂(Him)₅, Zn(Hsal)₂(4-MeHim)₂ and Zn(Hsal)₂(1,2-diMeim)₂ (where Hsal=OHC₆H₄COO^-, Him=imidazole, 4-MeHim=4-methylimidazole, 1,2-diMeim=1,2-dimethylimidazole) have been synthesized. The application of chemical, thermal and X-ray methods has enabled us to analyze the complexes and their sinters. The gaseous products of pyrolysis of Zn(Hsal)₂(Him)₂ and Zn(Hsal)₂(4-MeHim)₂ have been investigated. Thermal decomposition pathways have been postulated for synthesized complexes. The molecular structures of the Zn(Hsal)₂(Him)₂ and Zn(Hsal)₂(1,2-diMeim)₂ have been solved.
