ABSTRACT
The zinc(II) complexes dichloro[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)imino-kappaN-(2-thiazolin-kappaN-2-yl)thiazolidine]zinc(II) (1) and dichloro[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)imino-kappaN-(4H-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazin-kappaN-2-yl)tetrahydrothiazine]zinc(II) (2) have been isolated and characterized in the solid state by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectra. In both complexes, the environment around the zinc(II) ion may be described as a distorted tetrahedral geometry, with the metallic atom coordinated to two chlorine atoms [Zn-Cl(1)=2.218(1)A; Zn-Cl(2)=2.221(1)A], one imino nitrogen [Zn-N(3)=2.042(2)A] and one thiazoline nitrogen [Zn-N(1)=2.022(2)A] in complex 1 and to two chlorine atoms [Zn-Cl(1)=2.216(1)A; Zn-Cl(2)=2.192(1)A], one imino nitrogen [Zn-N(3)=2.045(2)A] and one thiazine nitrogen [Zn-N(1)=2.039(2)A] in complex 2. In addition, we also report in this study the crystal structure of the 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)imino-N-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)thiazolidine (TdTn) ligand as well as the synthesis and characterization by X-ray diffraction, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra, elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectra of the 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)imino-N-(4H-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazin-2-yl)tetrahydrothiazine (TzTz) ligand. Besides, we study the phagocytic function in humans neutrophils treated with each complex and ligand aforementioned.
