Herein, we were obtained two new Zn(II) compounds with formula
{[Zn(DSPT)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n (1) and {[Zn(DSPT)(H2O)2]·H2O}n (2) based
on 4′-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2,2′:6′2″-terpyridine (H2DSPT)9. Compound 1
is a complex with binuclear ring structure, whereas compound 2 is an
organozinc compound obtained by accidently. Their syntheses, structures,
thermal stability, and applications on diethylchlorophosphonate (DCP)
detection of selected compounds were explored.
