The Synthesis of Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II) 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetates in Water–Methanol Environment. Structure and Properties of Polymeric [Zn(2,4-D)2(MeOH)2] n and [Cd(2,4-D)2(H2O)2] n

Abstract

The zinc(II) and cadmium(II) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate salts were synthesized in mixed watermethanol environment and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrometry and thermal analysis coupled with mass spectrometry. The crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystallography (compound 1, [C 18 H 18

“…for 2,4-D, there are 60 examples of metal complexes, contained in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Groom & Allen, 2014), e.g. with Ca II (Song et al, 2002) and with Zn II (Kobylecka et al, 2012).…”
