Abstract
Abstract The condensation of diacetylmonoxime (damnx) with morpholine N-thiohydrazide (mth) in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol (16 h) afforded a nitrogen–sulfur zwitterionic heterocyclic compound, N-(3,4-dimethyl-1,2,5-thiadiazole-2-ium-2-yl)morpholine-4-carbothioate (dtmc). However, the same reaction in presence of [Zn(OAc)2]·2H2O in ethanol under gentle reflux on (3 h) yielded the zinc complex, [Zn(Hdammthiol)(OAc)(H2O)]·H2O, where H2dammthiol (H2L2) is the thiol form of tridentate NNS donor thiohydrazone ligand, diacetylmonoxime morpholine N-thiohydrazone (Hdammth). Both the nitrogen–sulfur heterocyclic compound and the zinc complex have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopy (IR, UV–Vis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR) and single crystal X-ray crystallography. It is noteworthy that the heterocyclic compound shows S⋯S interaction with distance 2.738 A in its planar conformation. The heterocyclic compound forms two dimensional supramolecular sheets through C–H⋯O and π⋯π interactions while the zinc complex, with distorted square pyramidal geometry, forms 1D supramolecular chain. A mechanism has been proposed for the formation of nitrogen–sulfur heterocyclic compound.
