Structurally characterized homo-trinuclear ZnII and hetero-pentanuclear [Zn II4LnIII] complexes constructed from an octadentate bis(Salamo)-based ligand: Hirshfeld surfaces, fluorescence and catalytic properties

Abstract

One homo-trinuclear 3d and five novel windmill-type hetero-pentanuclear 3d-4f complexes [Zn3(L)(OAc)2(H2O)]·CH2Cl2 (1), [Zn4(L)2Sm(NO3)2(EtOH)2]NO3·H2O·2CHCl3 (2), [Zn4(L)2Eu(NO3)2(EtOH)2]NO3·C2H5OH·2CHCl3 (3), [Zn4(L)2Gd(NO3)2(EtOH)2]NO3·C2H5OH·2CHCl3 (4), [Zn4(L)2Tb(NO3)2(EtOH)2]NO3·C2H5OH (5) and [Zn4(L)2Dy(NO3)2(EtOH)2]NO3·C2H5OH·2CHCl3 (6) were synthesized by the reactions of a new bis(Salamo)-based tetraoxime ligand (H4L) with Zn(OAc)2·2H2O and Ln(NO3)3·6H2O (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb and Dy), respectively. The structures of complexes 1–6 were characterized via elemental analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray crystallography, and their fluorescence properties, catalytic activities and Hirshfeld surface analyses were studied.
