✦ Synopsis
From ab initio studies of Zn (NH,):+ complexes ( n = 4-6)) their various minimum energy structures have been identified for the first time. The hexa-ammine-Zn(I1) complexes with the coordination numbers (NE) of 4 to 6 have almost the same enthalpies. But, owing to the entropy effect the complex with N,=4 has the lowest free energy. Nevertheless, the structural stabilities of these complexes are not so different; thus, the N, may vary between 4 and 6 according to given molecular environments, though N, = 4 is the most favored. This is in accord with the statistical analysis of the X-ray data of the Zn (II) complexes coordinated by nitrogen-containing ligands.
