Synthesis, structures, photoluminescence, and theoretical investigations on two new Zn(II)/Mn(II) complexes with pyridine-2-amidoxine and carboxylate ligands

“…Among them, Zn(II) chelate complexes have been focused due to their excellent performance in photoluminescence and/or electroluminescence, since the first report of a double-layer green organic electroluminescence device in 1987. To the best of our knowledge, however, no investigations have been carried out on the photoluminescence and/or electroluminescence of Zn(II) and other metal complexes with oxime-based ligands even though a growing number of complexes have been reported with novel structures [13][14][15][16]. Herein, we report the syntheses, structures, photoluminescence, and theoretical investigation on their photoluminescent property for two new neutral mononuclear metal complexes with a oximebased ligand, pyridine-2-amidoxine, namely [Zn(paH) 2 (OAc) 2 ]Á2CH 3 OH (paH = pyridine-2-amidoxine) (1) and [Mn(paH) 2 (OAc) 2 ]ÁC 2 H 5 OHÁ2H 2 O (2) [17].…”

Synthesis, structures and photocatalytic properties of a mononuclear copper complex with pyridine-carboxylato ligands

“…Especially, metal complexes with pyridine-carboxylate were found a wide range of applications as functional materials [1][2][3][4] because of their intriguing topological network. A series of bidentate or multidentate carboxylate derivatives ligands have been employed in organometallic chemistry [5][6][7][8].…”
