Crystal structure and spectrum character of bis[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-propanone] dichorozinc(II) complex

The titled new complex was synthesized and determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, P-1 group, a=1.8997(4) nm, b=0.58107(12) nm, c=2.4209(5) nm, β=90.65(3)°, V=2.6722(9) nm³, Z=4, D_c=1.488 g/cm³. It has C₂ symmetry with the axis through the Zn atom, and the zinc atom is coordinated by two N atoms of the 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-propanone ligands and two Cl^- atoms, forming a slightly distorted tetrahedron. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds make the complex stable. IR and electronic spectra study of the target complex were also carried.
