Tetrahedral copper(II) and zinc(II) coordination compounds from 5-nitroimidazole derivatives, viz. 1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (cenz) and ornidazole 1-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (onz), were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Their molecular structures were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes [Cu(onz)2 X2 ], [Zn(onz)2 X2 ], [Cu(cenz)2 X2 ] and [Zn(cenz)2 X2 ] (X- = Cl, Br), are stable in solution and exhibit positive LogD7...
