Abstract
A zinc(II) complex of the pentadentate Schiff base ligand 2,2′(((azanediylbis(propane-3,1-diyl))bis(azanylylidene))bis(methanylylidene))diphenol was synthesized by reaction of the ligand with Zn(OAc)2. Reaction of salicylaldehyde with N1-(3-aminopropyl)propane-1,3-diamine [HN(C3H6NH2)2] in absolute ethanol was used to prepare the ligand. Non-merohedrally twinned crystals of the complex were characterized by single-crystal XRD and found to be in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with the following lattice parameters: a = 14.6594(8) Å, b = 11.6908(7) Å, c = 23.2789(14) Å, and β = 105.520(3)°. Luminescent characteristics of this complex were investigated in the solid state. Computational study of the electronic properties of this complex with the aid of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) showed good agreement with experimental data and hence consolidated the assignment of the state as ligand centered charge transfer. This complex exhibits a strong fluorescence with a broad blue emission maximum centered at 442 nm.
