Abstract:

In this study, 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thionate was chosen as the multifunctional coordination ligand on the basis of the considerations that it has exocyclic sulfur(Sexo) and endocyclic nitrogen(Nendo) donors that are at the meta position and allow tzdtH to form and support an isolated metal-ligand cluster in the coordination architecture. As a result, a blossomshaped tetranuclear zinc cluster [Zn4(μ4-O)(tzdt)6] was synthesized by the reaction of tzdtH with Zn(NO3)2 under a mild condition for the first time. It was characterized by means of IR spectrometry and elemental analyses. The crystal structure of [Zn4(μ4-O)(tzdt)6] was determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD).
