Arylazoimidazoliumchloride and chlorometallates: Spectroscopic and structural characterization

Azoimidazolium ions have attracted Cl− and chlorometallates ZnCl42-, PtCl62- through electrostatic force and hydrogen bonds. Water molecules are embedded in the supramolecular lattice. Aquated Cl− forms 10 membered supracycle through hydrogen bonding with imidazolium ion. Hydrogen bonding, π···π interaction develops rectangular channel space in which water molecules present.
