Abstract
The asymmetrical tridentate Schiff base (H2L = (E)-N′-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide) has been designed and synthesized. The four transition metal complexes with this ligand [Cu(HL)(NO3)](H2O) (1), [Zn2(HL) 2(bipy)(H2O)2](NO3)2 (2), [Cu(HL)(H2O)]2(NO3)2 (3) and [Cu(HL)(Me2NCO)]2 (4) have been studied. The unsaturated coordination site of metal ion in complexes 1 and 2 is occupied by secondary ligand of nitrate and 4,4′-bipyridine. The crystal structure of complex 1 exhibits supramolecular framework with homochirality. Complexes 3 and 4 are dinuclear complexes bridged by the phenol oxygen atoms and the fifth coordination is occupied by H2O molecular and DMF anion respectively. Hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking exist in all four complexes to construct supramolecular architecture.
