A New Zn(II) Metal Hybrid Material of 5-Nitrobenzimidazolium Organic Cation (C7H6N3O2)2[ZnCl4]: Elaboration, Structure, Hirshfeld Surface, Spectroscopic, Molecular Docking Analysis, Electric and Dielectric Properties

Zinc (II) complex; hydrogen bonds; AC conductivity; FT-IR; molecular docking study

The slow solvent evaporation approach was used to create a single crystal of (C7H6N3O2)2[ZnCl4] at room temperature. Our compound has been investigated by single-crystal XRD which declares that the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystallographic system with the P21/c as a space group. The molecular arrangement of the compound can be described by slightly distorted tetrahedral ZnCl42− anionic entities and 5-nitrobenzimidazolium as cations, linked together by different non-covalent interaction types (H-bonds, Cl…Cl, π…π and C–H…π). Hirshfeld’s surface study allows us to identify that the dominant contacts in the crystal building are H…Cl/Cl…H contacts (37.3%). FT-IR method was used to identify the different groups in (C7H6N3O2)2[ZnCl4]. Furthermore, impedance spectroscopy analysis in 393 ≤ T ≤ 438 K shows that the temperature dependence of DC conductivity follows Arrhenius’ law. The frequency–temperature dependence of AC conductivity for the studied sample shows one region (Ea = 2.75 eV). In order to determine modes of interactions of compound with double stranded DNA, molecular docking simulations were performed at molecular level.
