2. Experimental
2.1. Materials and general methods
2.3. X-ray crystallographic study of complex
All chemical reagents are commercially available and
purified by standard methods prior to use. FT-IR spectra
(KBr pellets) were measured on a BIO-RAD FTS 3000
Infrared spectrometer. The melting points were measured
on a Yanagimoto MP-500 apparatus (uncorrected). C, H
and N elemental analysis were carried out on a Perkin–
Elmer 240C elemental analyzer. Thermal stability (TG-
DTA) studies were performed on a NETZSCH TG 209
thermal analyzer.
A single crystal of the title complex 1 with dimensions of
0.45 mm · 0.15 mm · 0.05 mm and the complex 2 with
dimensions of 0.40 mm · 0.19 mm · 0.06 mm were moun-
ted on a Bruker Smart 1000 CCD diffractometer equipped
˚
with a graphite-monochromated Mo Ka (k = 0.71073 A)
radiation at 293(2) K. Semi-empirical absorption correc-
tions were applied using SABABS program. The structure
was solved by direct methods (SHELXL-97) [25] and succes-
sive difference Fourier syntheses (SHELXS-97), and refined
by full-matrix least-squares procedure on F2 with aniso-
tropic thermal parameters for all non-hydrogen atoms.
The hydrogen atoms were generated geometrically and re-
fined with displacement parameters riding on the con-
cerned atoms. Crystallographic data and experimental
details for structural analyses are summarized in Table 1.
The selected bond lengths and angles are presented in
Tables 2 and 3.
2.2. Preparations
The ligand Pepy was synthesized as follows: under an
atmosphere of nitrogen, the mixture of benzaldehyde
(1.60 g, 15 mmol) and 2-methylpyridine (0.93 g, 10 mmol)
was added dropwise to a solution of KOH (1.15 g,
20 mmol) in DMSO (15 ml) at 60 ꢁC for two hours. The
colorless solution turned into yellow gradually. The solu-
tion was allowed to reflux for another two hours and then
cooled down prior to pouring into 100 ml cold water. The
precipitate was filtrated and recrystallized by using metha-
nol/water to give white crystals (yield 76%, m.p. 363 K).

at room temperature for 20 min and then filtered. The fil-
trate was allowed to evaporate the solvent slowly at ambi-

added to the mixture of Pepy (0.36 g, 2 mmol) in methanol
(10 ml) and FeCl3 Æ 6 H2O (0.34 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol
(10 ml) until the pH was 3, during which the colorless solu-

ature for 30 min and then filtered. The filtrate was allowed to
