A new di-Schiff base ligand, 1,2-bis(3′-pyridylmethyleneamino)ethane(L), was designed and its Ag(Ⅰ) complex[Ag 2(L) 2](CF 3SO 3) 2 was synthesized. The crystal structure analysis indicates that the complex crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group of C2/c with a=3.770 4(2) nm, b=0.797 90(10) nm, c=2.471 3(2) nm, β=101.840(10)°, V=7.276 5(12) nm 3, Z=8, D c=1.808 g/cm 3, \{F(000)=\}3 936, R=0.058 3, wR=0.076 6, (Δρ) max=0.657×10 3 e/nm 3,(Δρ) min=-0.562×10 3 \{e/nm 3\}. It is interesting that one L ligand coordinates to three Ag(Ⅰ) atoms using four N atoms, while another L ligand connects two Ag(Ⅰ) atoms with three of four N atoms and one N atom keeps free of coordination.
N-salicylidene-benzylamineato M(Ⅱ) complexes (ZnL2, CuL2 and CdL2) were synthesized, characterized and valued for antimicrobial activities against bacterial strands using the agar diffusion method. The crystal of ZnL2 was determined by X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the Monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a=2.269 1(3), b=0.918 2(1), c=1.239 5(2) nm, β=117.89(2), Z=4, R1=0.049 4, wR2=0.138 2. The complexes were found to be active against Staphylococcus aureus and Eschierichia Coli. CCDC: 249474.
