Synthesis, Structure and Properties of a One-Dimensional Cd(II) Complex Based on a Chiral Ligand

Abstract

A new 1D Cd(II) complex [Cd(L-pheA)(Ac)] n (1) where the L-pheAanion stands for the chiral ligand (L-phenylalanine hydroxamic acid) is synthesized and characterized. The single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that each Cd(II) atom is coordinated by three L-pheAligands and two acetate anions in a distorted seven-coordinated pentagonal bipyramidal configuration. By the interactions of two N-H⋯O and one N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds a 2D supramolecular network is formed. The solid-state luminescent properties of complex 1 are observed.
