Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirschfeld surface analyses of an alkyl amine based salt, [C5H16N2][ZnCl4] and its enzyme inhibition activity

A novel ionic zinc salt based on alkyl amine is reported. The structure of the studied salt is established by crystal X-ray crystallography, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, Hirschfeld surface analyses of the studied salt have also been carried out. In addition, reported salt shows significant enzyme inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase.
