Four Zn(II) complexes containing a pyridyl triazine core (L1 �3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-di(2-furyl)-1,2,4-triazine-5′,5″-disulfonic acid
disodium salt and L2 � 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine-4′,4″-disulfonic acid sodium salt) were synthesized, and their
chemical formulas were finalized as [Zn(L1)Cl2]·5H2O·ZnCl2 (1), [Zn(L1)2Cl2]·4H2O·2CH3OH (2), [Zn(L2)Cl2]·3H2O·CH3OH
(3), and [Zn(L2)2Cl2] (4). The synthesized complexes are water soluble, making them good candidates for biological applications.
All four complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and 1
H NMR, IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. e IR stretching
frequency of N�N and C�N bonds of complexes 1–4 have shifted to lower frequencies in comparison with free ligands, and
a bathochromic shift was observed in UV-Vis spectra of all four complexes. The binding studies of ligands and complexes 1–4 with
bovine serum albumin (BSA) resulted binding constants (Kb) of 3.09 ×104 M−1
, 12.30 ×104 M−1
, and 16.84 ×104 M−1 for ferene,
complex 1, and complex 2, respectively, indicating potent serum distribution via albumins.
