Solution and solid state structures of binuclear zinc(II) complexes of bis(pentadentate) ligands derived from bis(1,4,7-triazacyclononane) macrocycles

Abstract

Binuclear zinc(II) complexes have been prepared for bis(pentadentate) ligands, generated by addition of 2-pyridylmethyl arms to the secondary nitrogens in bis(1,4,7-triazacyclononane) macrocycles, and supported by CH2CH2 {tmpdtne, [Zn2(tmpdtne)Br2][ClO4]
