Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Spectral Characterization of the Complex[Zn(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2N=CHC_6H_4O)_2]

A new complex [Zn(CH_3CH_2 CH_2CH_2N=CHC_6H_4O)_2]~1 was synthesized based on the reaction of zinc(II) acetate,salicylal and n-butylamine in methanol medium.The structure of the complex was confirmed by IR,~1H NMR,elemental analysis and thermal analysis.The crystal structure of the complex was also determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction.The crystal belongs to tetragonal system with space group P-4,and crystallographic data of the compound are: a=1.4380(2)nm,b=(1.4380(2)nm),c=0.53803(18)nm,α=β=γ=90°,V=1.1126(4)nm~3;D_c=1.247g/cm~3;Z=2;F(000)=400;μ=1.12mm~(-1).Zinc(Ⅱ) atom lies at the center of a distorted tetrahedral coordination consisting of two N atoms and two O atoms from two schiff bases.
