| Abstract: | This article reports the synthesis and crystal structures of two new mononuclear Zinc(II) complexes, Zn2(NTB)2(N3)2](NO3)2·2CH3OH (1) and Zn2(NTB)2(SCN)2](NO3)2·2CH3OH·H2O (2). Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P&1macr;, a=13.743(4), b=14.374(4), c=14.443(5) Å; α=77.053(5), β=81.824(5), γ=88.959(6)°; Z=2; R1=0.0418, wR2=0.0889. Complex 2 also crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P&1macr;, a=12.203(10), b=14.430(12), c=18.541(15)Å; α=72.712(15), β=85.039(15), γ=73.610(14); Z=2; R1=0.0771, wR2=0.1288. In both cases the central zinc(II) metal ions are coordinated to the four nitrogen atoms of NTB and a nitrogen atom of N- 3(1) or SCN-(2) to form distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination spheres. |
