Abstract
An acylpyrazolone complex, [Zn(PMαFP)2(CH3OH)2] (HPMαFP = 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(α-furoyl)-5-pyrazolone), was synthesized. The complex was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, UV, fluorescence spectra, DTA-TG, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The structure is orthorhombic, group pbca with cell parameters: a = 15.015(3) Å, b = 9.844(2) Å, c = 20.663(4) Å, Z = 4, S = 1.025, R 1 = 0.0353 and wR 2 = 0.0924. The complex shows a slightly distorted octahedral structure, Zn2+ is located at an inversion center from four oxygens, two of ligands in the equatorial plane, two methanols axial. The complex has a two-dimensional supramolecular structure connected by O–HN bonding interactions. In the CV, one oxidation peak of adenine with E p = 1.018 V in pH = 7.0 shows that the [Zn(PMαFP)2(CH3OH)2]/glassy carbon modified electrode has a catalytic effect on adenine.
