Synthesis and Molecular Structure of the Zinc(II) Complex Bearing an N, S Donor Ligand

The reaction between zinc(II) acetate dihydrate and ((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-N-methylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L) in methanol results in the formation of Zn(II) complex [Zn(C 11 H 11 N 4 S) 2 ] ( 1 ). The complex is characterized by CHNS and various spectroscopic analyses. The structure of the complex is determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. XRD reveals that the Zn(II) complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with the P -1 space group and has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Two ligand molecules are coordinated to the Zn(II) ion in the bidentate monobasic (NS − ) fashion.
