Methylene spacer regulated variation in supramolecular assembly of zinc(<scp>ii</scp>) dicyanamide complexes with reduced Schiff base ligands: synthesis, structure and DFT study
Mainak Karmakar, Antonio Frontera, Shouvik Chattopadhyay
Abstract
Three tetranuclear zinc dicyanamide complexes with three potential hexadentate reduced Schiff base ligands have been synthesized and characterized. The DFT study is devoted to the analysis of the competition between C–H⋯π and π⋯π interactions.
