Abstract: One new complex Cd2(2,4-DAA)4(2,2′-bipy)2 with 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-DAA) and 2,2′-bipyridine (2,2′-bipy) as ligands has been synthesized and characterized. Crystal data for this complex are as follows: monoclinic, space group P1, a=1.049 9(2) nm, b=1.094 2(2) nm, c=1.185 7(2) nm, α=96.70(3)°, β=105.20(3)°, γ=91.75(3)°, V=1.303 0(5) nm3, Dc=1.806 g·cm-3, Z=2, μ(Mo Kα)=1.295 mm-1, F(000)=704, final discrepancy factors R1=0.042 1, wR2=0.102 1. In the crystal, two neighboring Cd(Ⅱ) ions are bridged by four 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic radicals, and their end positions are coordinated with two 2,2′-bipyridine molecules, forming a binuclear cage structure. The coordination environment of each cadmium(Ⅱ) ion is CdO4N2, giving a distorted triprism coordination geometry. Luminescent property and the cyclic voltammetric behavior of the complex were investigated. CCDC: 781765. |
