Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of Two Novel Complexes Based on Zaltoprofen Ligand

Abstract

Two novel metal-organic coordination complexes [Cd(Zalto profen)₂(H₂O)₃](H₂O) (1), [Zn(Zaltoprofen)(H₂O)]_n (2) (where zaltoprofen = 5-(1-carboxyethyl)-2-(phenylthio)phenylacetic acid) have been synthesized under normal conditions and hydrothermal conditions, respectively. And characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, spectral method (IR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and fluorescent properties. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group while compound 2 in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁ /c. [Cd(Zaltoprofen)₂(H₂O)₃](H₂O) (1) features 0-D structural, the hydrogen-bonds play a vital role in determining the crystal packing and construction of the extended 3-D supramolecular network. [Zn(Zaltoprofen)(H₂O)]_n (2) displays a 2D net with alternately arranged left- and right-handed helical chains. The O–H···O hydrogen bonding play an important role in stabilizing the structure.
