Özet
A novel dinuclear Zn(II) complex, [Zn₂(3HBA)₄(HMTA)₂]·2H₂O (3HBA: 3-hydroxybenzoate and HMTA: hexamethylenetetramine), has been synthesized and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, NMR, UV–Vis, and DFT studies. The crystal structure reveals a centrosymmetric dimeric framework where each Zn(II) ion adopts a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry, coordinated by four bridging 3-hydroxybenzoate anions and one nitrogen atom from a monodentate hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) ligand. The crystal packing is stabilized through an extensive network of O–H···O, O–H···N, C–H···O, and C–H···N hydrogen bonds, as confirmed by Hirshfeld surface analysis, in which H···H (47.5 %) and H···O/O···H (16.3 %) contacts dominate the intermolecular interactions. The void analysis revealed a low porosity (5.81 %), suggesting a densely packed and mechanically stable lattice …
