The Metal Complex of 2-[2-(4-Cyanophenyl)ethenyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline (2-CEHQ) Ligand: A Novel Trinuclear Zinc(II) Complex with Red Light Emission

Abstract
A neutral trinuclear zinc(II) complex containing 2-[2-(4-cyanophenyl)ethenyl]-8-quinolinol (2-CEQH) with strong red light emission was synthesized by hydro(solvo)thermal reaction and its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction study.
