Korecz Equilibrium and solution structural study of the interaction of tri- and tetradentate polyimidazole ligands with transition metal ions Contents Figure S1. Schematic views, from the plane of the central imidazole ring, of the possible conformations of the tridentate TRIM in tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) geometry. Figure S2. Parts of the 1H NMR spectra measured in the TIM – zinc(II) 1:1 (A), 2:1 (B) and 1:0 (C) systems at pH = 7.75. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2000 Figure S1. Schematic views, from the plane of the central imidazole ring, of the possible conformations of the tridentate TRIM in tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) geometry.
