Chiral crystallization of a zinc(II) complex.

ABSTRACT: The compound, {6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[(4-azaheptane-1,7-di-yl)bis-(nitrilo-meth-an-yl-idyne)]diphenolato}zinc(II) methanol monosolvate, [Zn(C₂₂H₂₇N₃O₄)]·CH₃OH, at 298 K crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pna2₁. The Zn atom is coordinated by a penta-dentate Schiff base ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal N₃O₂ geometry. The equatorial plane is formed by the two phenolic O and one amine N atom. The axial positions are occupied by two amine N atoms. The distorted bipyramidal geometry is also supported by the trigonality index (τ), which is found to be 0.85 for the mol-ecule. In the crystal, methanol solvent mol-ecule is connected to the complex mol-ecule by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond an
