Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of Mononuclear Bis(2-aminopyridine) Zinc Complex

In this paper, a simple one-pot synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of novel N-Zn complex is described. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were obtained using a Bruker AM-300 spectrometer. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Mattson Galaxy Series FTIR 3000 spectrometer. 2-Aminopyridine reacts with Zn(OAc)2·2H2O in alcohol and forms the mononuclear bis(2-aminopyridine)- zinc complex, whose structure was determined via X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex is also characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and elemental analysis. The crystal is a prism and has a spacegroup of P2(1)/n, with the following parameters: with a = 9.1914(8) Å, b = 13.8595(12) Å, c =13.2921(12) Å,
