The synthesis of the following mixed ligand complexes is reported: [Ni(phdtc)2(dpm)2], [Ni(phdtc)2(dpe)2], [Ni(phdtc)2(dpp)3], [Ni(1-naphdtc)2(dpm)2], [Ni(1-naphdtc)2], and [Ni(1-naphdtc)2(dpp)2], where phdtc = PhNHCSS-, 1-naphdtc = 1-NaPhNHCSS-, dpm = Ph2PCH2PPh2, dpe = Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2, and dpp = Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2. The complexes are characterised by microanalysis, IR and UV-Vis spectra, magnetic measurements, conductivity, X-ray powder diffraction, and thermal analysis. All the mixed ligand complexes are diamagnetic, and thus a square-planar or square-pyramidal (low-spin) structure was proposed for the present complexes.
A novel metalorganic coordination polymer, namely [Co3(bpd)5.5(NCS)6(NH3)]n2H2O (1) (bpd=1,4-bis (4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 presents 2D[3,4,-connected 3-nodal net with the point symbol (4268210)(4462)(8210). In addition, four identical 2D single nets is interlocked with each other in parallel, thus directly leading to the formation of a polycatenated layer (2D2D).
Four mixed-ligand coordination polymer complexes of cobalt(II), copper(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) were synthesized by solvothermal method in 1:1:1 metal: 4,4’-bipy: 2,5-pdc molar ratio using 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (2,5-pdc) and 4,4’-bipyridine (4,4’-bipy). These complexes are viz; 1. [Co2(4,4'-bipy)(2,5-pdc)2(H2O)4]n 2. [Cu2(4,4'-bipy) (2,5-pdc)2]n 3. [Zn2(4,4'-bipy)(2,5-pdc)2(H2O)4]n and 4. [Cd3(4,4'-bipy)(2,5-pdc)2(OOCCH3)2(H2O)4]n.. All these complexes (1-4) have been characterized by elemental analyses (C,H,N), FT-IR-spectra, thermal analyses (TGA/DTA/DTG), fluorescence spectra and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses to arrive at conclusion regarding their geometrical structure.
