Novel thiocyanate complexes of cadmium(II) – Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, X-ray studies and DFT calculations
摘要:
Three novel thiocyanate cadmium(II) compounds [Cd(ind)(2)(SCN)(2)](n) (1), [Cd(dpa)Cl(SCN)](n) (2) and [Cd(terpy)(SCN)2] (3) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. Thiocyanate ions of 1 act as bridging ligands generating a one-dimensional chain constructed of Cd(SCN)(2)Cd units and expanding along the crystallographic direction [1 0 0]. The Cd(II) ions of 2 are bridged by alternating and di-mu(1,3)-NCS bridges to one-dimensional chain running along the crystallographic direction [0 1 0]. [Cd(terpy)(SCN)(2)] (3) is a square pyramidal mononuclear compound. The fluorescence properties of the complexes 1 and 2 were examined in solid state, whereas fluorescence spectra of 3 were recorded in both solid state and solution. All they were compared with the fluorescence properties of the free ligands. Additionally, the electronic spectrum of 3 were investigated at the TDDFT level employing B3LYP functional in combination with LANL2DZ. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
