Abstract

The tetranuclear Zn(II) Schiff base complex [Mg(H2O)6][{Zn2L1(CH3CO2)}23-OH)2]·6H2O (H3L1 = Schiff base derived from 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol and glycine) (2) has been prepared and structurally characterized. The complex anion consists of two identical dinuclear Zn2/L1 subunits connected through μ3-OH bridges. While 2, with Mg(H2O)6/2+ serving as counterion, crystallized from aqueous solution, solution studies in DMSO indicated substitution of zinc by magnesium and formation of the heteronuclear complex [ZnMgL1]+.
