Schiff base pyridine zinc(II) complexes 1~4 were synthesized by the reaction of the 2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)phenol Schiff base with appended donor functionality, zinc acetate, and pyridine. The results of the structural characterization of the complex show that they have the same coordination mode and similar steric structure. Complexes 1 and 3 form a one-dimensional chain structure and two-dimensional grid structure by lots of hydrogen bonds, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis shows complexes 1~4 can exist stably below 150 ℃. The...
