Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes with cinoxacin. Synthesis and characterization of M(Cx)2(DMSO)n(H2O)m (n=0, 2; m=2, 4). Crystal structures of [M(Cx)2(DMSO)2]·4H2O (M=Ni(II), Zn(II))

Abstract New metal complexes of cinoxacin (HCx=1-ethyl-l,4-dihydro-4-oxo(1,3)dioxolo(4,5-g)cinnoline-3-carboxylic acid) were synthesized, isolated as [Zn(Cx)2(DMSO)2]·4H2O, [Ni(Cx)2(DMSO)2]·4H2O, Zn(Cx)2·4H20 and Ni(Cx)2·2H2O, and characterized by elemental analysis, TG studies, IR and UVVis spectroscopic techniques. The crystal and molecular structures of the complexes [M(Cx)2(DMSO)2]·4H2O (M=Zn(II), Ni(II)) have been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of [Zn(Cx)2(DMSO)2]·4H2O are triclinic, space group P 1 with unit cell dimensions a=8.950(4), b=9.168(5), c=11.650(6) A, α=69.06(1), β=82.05(1), γ=75.63(1)°, V=863.6(8) A3; [Ni(Cx)2(DMSO)2]·4H20 is monoclinic, space group …
