Synthesis and molecular structure of a zinc complex of the vitamin K3 analogue phthiocol.

Highlights: [•] Zinc complex of the vitamin K3 analogue phthiocol is synthesized and characterized. [•] Molecules of 1 show three dimensional network through C H⋯O, O H⋯O interactions. [•] Additional anodic peaks are observed in cyclic voltammogram of phthiocol ligand. [•] DFT studies define this redox event as ligand-centered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
