Usage

General Description

Zinc benzoate is a salt of zinc and benzoic acid, with the chemical formula C14H10O4Zn. It is a white crystalline powder that is used in various industrial applications, including as a corrosion inhibitor in metal coatings and as a preservative in some pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Zinc benzoate is also used as a catalyst in chemical reactions and as a stabilizer in polymers and plastics. It is considered to be generally safe for use, with low toxicity and minimal environmental impact. However, like many zinc compounds, it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled in large quantities, and proper safety precautions should be taken when handling and storing it.

Synthesis and crystal structure of two zinc-containing complexes of triethanolamine

Two new zinc-containing complexes [Zn2(TEA)(C6H5COO)3] (1) and ([Zn(TEA)(H2O)2]SO4)·H2O (2) were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, DSC and TG analysis. Their structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the binuclear, mixed-ligand [Zn2(TEA)(C6H5COO)3] complex, one zinc atom is six-coordinated by nitrogen and three oxygen atoms of tetradentate triethanolamine (TEA) and two oxygen atoms of two different benzoate ligands, forming the distorted octahedron of the ZnNO5 type. The second zinc atom is five-coordinated, forming the distorted trigonal bipyramid. Two zinc atoms are bridged by two carboxylate groups of two benzoate ligands and one oxygen atom of the deprotonated hydroxyethyl group of TEA. Cationic complex 2 consists of [Zn(TEA)(H2O)2]2+ cations and SO42? anions. The coordination polyhedron around the zinc atom corresponds to a distorted octahedron (ZnNO5 type). The TEA ligand is tetradentately coordinated to the cation, forming three chelate rings. The coordination sphere of the Zn cation is completed by two aqua ligands.

N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of Zn(II): Synthesis, X-ray structures and reactivity

The synthesis of six novel zinc (II) mono(N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes is described. 1,3-Bis(mesityl)-imidazol-2-ylidene was reacted with the zinc salts ZnX2 (X=Cl, CH3COO, PhCOO, and PhCH2COO) to yield the corresponding monomeric Zn-NHC complex ZnCl2(NHC)(THF) (1) and dimeric [Zn(OOCCH3)2(NHC)]2 (2), [Zn(OOCPh)2(NHC)]2 (3), [Zn(OOCCH2Ph)2(NHC)]2 (4) (NHC=1,3-bis(mesityl)-imidazol-2-ylidene). Reaction of 1 with 2 equivalents of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate yielded monomeric Zn(O3SCF3)2(NHC)(THF) (5), reaction of 1 with sodium {[R(+)-α-2-(1-phenyl-ethylimino)-methyl]- phenolate} yielded monomeric ZnCl(OC6H4- 2-CH=N(CHPhCH3)(NHC) (6). Compounds 1, 4-6 were structurally characterized by X-ray analysis. Selected compounds were investigated for their activity in the copolymerization of carbon dioxide with cyclohexene oxide as well as in the ring-opening polymerization of cyclohexene oxide and E-caprolactone.

Synthesis, characterization, photoluminescent and thermal properties of zinc(ii) 4′-phenyl-terpyridine compounds

Reactions between 4′-phenyl-terpyridine (L) and several Zn(ii) salts (trifluoromethane sulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, benzoate, p-hydroxybenzoate, o-hydroxybenzoate or m-hydroxybenzoate) led to the formation of the complexes [Zn(OSO2CF3)2L(H2O)] (1), [Zn(p-OSO2PhCH3)2L] (2), [Zn(OCOPh) 2L] (3), [Zn(p-OCOPhOH)2L] (4), [Zn(o-OCOPhOH) 2L] (5) and [Zn(m-OCOPhOH)2L] (6), which were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, single crystal X-ray diffraction and fluorescence spectroscopies. In 1, the Zn atom is hexacoordinated, with a N3O3 coordination environment, whereas in the remaining structures the metal atom is envisaged as possessing distorted N3O2 irregular trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometries. All the compounds show interesting photo-luminescent properties in solid and solution states in DMF, DMSO and methanol, which are reported along with their TG-DTA thermal decomposition processes.
