Synthesis and Characterisation of Zinc(II) Complex With 2-Amino-5-bromopyridine Ligand
The synthesis and characterisation of zinc(II) complex with 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (C5H5BrN2) ligand have been described. The complex was structurally characterised via X-ray crystallography, in the title compound, (2-amino-5-bromopyridinium) [ZnCl¬3(2-amino-5-bromopyridine)] or which is also called (C5H6BrN2) [ZnCl3(C5H5BrN2)]¬. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by three Cl atoms and one imine N-atom of 2-amino-5-bromopyridine ligand, forming a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The complex was also investigated by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, IR spectroscopy and UV-Visible absorption. The protonation behaviour upon coordination is discussed.
