Abstract

The synthesis, characterisation and single crystal X-ray structural analysis of [Zn(bnbzpy)(N3)]ClO4 (1) [bnbzpy = N,N′-(bis(pyridin-2-yl)benzylidene)butane-1,4-diamine] have been described. X-ray diffraction study has been made for the exact definition of the coordination sphere. Structural analysis reveals that the zinc(II) centre in mononuclear 1 is in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal ZnN5 environment ligated by four N atoms of the organic blocker and the terminal azide. The tetradentate chelator is folded in the butylenic part.
