New Zn complexes based on 1,2,4-triazoles: synthesis, structure and luminescence. Inorganica Chimica Acta, 376(1), 509–514. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ica.2011.07.009
The reaction of 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(2-aminophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole and salicylaldehyde or benzaldehyde leads a new type of 1,2,4-triazole's derivats. Reactions of these ligands with zinc acetate in ethanol lead to the formation of two new complexes with azomethine or dihydrotriazaindolizine form of ligands. The structures of these complexes were investigated by X-ray analysis. The complexes showed strong green-blue luminescence in solid state.
