A new carbonate bridged tetranuclear zinc(ii) complex of an asymmetric tetrapodal compartmental ligand

Abstract: A zinc(II) complex of the asymmetric tetrapodal proligand 2-{[bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)amino]methyl}-6-[{[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methyl](2-pyridinylmethyl)amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol reacts with carbon dioxide to give the tetranuclear zinc(II) complex [Zn 4 L 2 (CO 3 )](BF 4 ) 2 •5CH 3 OH•4H 2 O; the crystal structure of this complex revealed an unusual 3binding mode of the carbonate to one mononuclear zinc atom and a dinuclear pair of zinc atoms.

“…The distortion from the ideal trigonal bipyramidal around the zinc centers is particularly reflected in the bond angles of N(1)–Zn–O(6), O(3)–Zn(1)–N(1) and O(1)–Zn(1)–O(5) at 171.57(7)°, 81.04(7)°, and 101.00(7)°, respectively. As presented in Table 2, most of the observed metric values for the complex are well within the range of previously reported similar di -zinc(II) complexes in the literature [44,77]. However, the observed Zn(II)---Zn(II) distance in the complex is slightly longer than bond distances reported for similar di -nuclear zinc(II) complex in the literature [33,45,7881].…”

“…Furthermore, the biologically relevant aspects of carbohydrate complexes of Fe 3+ , Cr 3+ , VO 2+ , and Zn 2+ , have also been reported [3235,3743]. It has also been elucidated that carboxylato-bridged dinuclear complexes of Mg 2+ , Mn 2+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Zn 2+ , are involved in non-redox active enzymatic processes [33,4451]. …”

“…The observation of coordination asymmetry in both of these Zn(II) complexes formed by the T 2 PrO − ligand would suggest that this ligand has some influence as a determinant of the geometries of the Zn(II) centres. Despite the rarity of simple Zn(II) complexes exhibiting coordination asymmetry, [5][6][7][8] such a feature is quite common for Zn(II) centres found at the active sites of enzymes. 9 This somewhat unexpected structural feature of complexes formed by T 2 PrO − led us to explore the Ni(II) complexes formed by T 2 PrO − and the protonated form, T 2 PrOH.…”
