Abstract:Formaldehyde, sulfuric acid and salicylic acid were combined to create a 3,3′-methylenebis(2-hydroxybenzoic acid) (MHB) ligand, which was subsequently permitted to bind with zinc(II) ions. The ligand and its zinc(II) complex (Zn–MHB) have been described by a combination of elemental analyses, spectral analyses (UV–Vis, IR, MS and NMR), XRD, TEM, as well as TGA measurement. The ligand has been suggested to coordinate to the zinc center in a tetradentate manner forming the binuclear tetrahedral complex. An X-ray… Show more
