Zusammenfassung
The 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bithiazole ligand (1), (dm4bt), and its Zn and Hg
complexes have been prepared. A conformational property calculation at
the DFT level for the ligand shows the anti conformation is
energetically more stable by about 22.83 kJ/mol and the rotational
barrier is about 32.01 kJ/mol for. the anti --> syn conversion, a
phenomena happening during complex formation. The complexes
Zn(dm4bt)Cl(2) (2) and Hg(dm4bt)Cl(2)(3) have spectral
properties typical for d(10) metal diimine systems. The structures of
the ligand and the two complexes have been determined by the single
crystal diffraction method. The X-ray structure determinations show that
both complexes are four coordinated by two chloride atoms and one
bidentate. dm4bt. In the Hg complex one of the two chlorides is set at a
semi-bridging position. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
