Abstract
The coordination chemistry of the phenylmalonic acid and 4-1H- amino- 1,2,4- triazole with Zn(II) ions has been investigated. The coordination polymer was synthesized by slow evaporation method and characterized by FT-infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible measurements, scanning electron microscopy, Electron Dispersive X-ray analysis and Powder X-ray diffraction studies. The ligands and the resulting metal complex gave intense absorption (λ max = 239 nm) upon irradiation by ultraviolet light, {[Zn 2 (C 9 H 8 O 4 ) 2 (C 2 H 4 N 4 ) 2 (H 2 O) 4 }n max (orthorhombic, and P2 1 /cn ) was obtained. An octahedral structure was proposed for the synthesized Zn(II) complex Keywords : Synthesis, Optical Properties, Coordination Polymer
