Popis: Four new zinc(II) complexes with 4-azidopyridine (4-azpy) as co-ligand are reported: [Zn(4-azpy)2(N3)2]n (1), [Zn(4-azpy)4(NCS)2] (2), [Zn(4-azpy)2(NCO)2] (3) and [Zn(4-azpy)2(NO2)2] (4). Single crystal structure determination revealed that complex 1 forms polymeric chains with di-EO and di-EE azide bridges and two 4-azpy ligands in trans positions. Coordination number six is observed in monomeric complexes 2 and 4, whereas ZnN4 tetrahedral are found in 3. The 4-azidopyridine molecules in complexes 1–4 act exclusively as terminal ligands and are ligated via the pyridine-N donor atoms. The para-substituted covalent azide group is practically co-planar to the plane of its pyridine ring. Adjacent pyridine rings show non-covalent π–π interactions. The complexes reveal enhancement of luminescence emission, compared to the parent 4-azpy ligand, which decreases in the order: 1 > 3 > 4 > 2.
