Description:
The reaction of the aryl-oxide ligand H 2 L [H 2 L = N , N -bis(3, 5-dimethyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)- N -(2-pyridylmethyl)amine] with CuSO 4 · 5H 2 O, CuCl 2 · 2H 2 O, CuBr 2 , CdCl 2 · 2.5H 2 O, and Cd(OAc) 2 · 2H 2 O, respectively, under hydrothermal conditions gave the complexes [Cu(H 2 L 1 ) 2 ] · SO 4 · 3CH 3 OH ( 1 ), [Cu 2 (H 2 L 2 ) 2 Cl 4 ] ( 2 ), [Cu 2 (H 2 L 2 ) 2 Br 4 ] ( 3 ), [Cd 2 (HL) 2 Cl 2 ] ( 4 ), and [Cd 2 (L) 2 (CH 3 COOH) 2 ] · H 2 L ( 5 ), where H 2 L 1 [H 2 L 1 = 2, 4-dimethyl-6-((pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)methyl)phenol] and H 2 L 2 [H 2 L 2 = 2-(2, 4-dimethyl-6-((pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)methyl)phenoxy)-4, 6-dimethylphenol] were derived from the solvothermal in situ metal/ligand reactions. These complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elementary analysis, and X-ray diffraction. A low-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement for the solid sample of 2 revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between two central copper(II) atoms. The emission property studies for complexes 4 and 5 indicated strong luminescence emission.
