Abstract
Two end-on azide-bridged dinuclear Schiff base zinc(II) complexes, [Zn2Br2(μ1,1-N3)L1 2]·H2O (1) and [Zn2I2(μ1,1-N3)L2 2]·I (2) (L1 = 4-bromo-2-[(2-isopropylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol, L2 = 2-ethoxy-6-[(2-ethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. One Zn atom in (1) is five-coordinated in a square pyramidal geometry, while the other Zn atom in (1) and the Zn atoms in (2) are in tetrahedral geometries.
