Synthesis, Characterization, Crystal Structure, and Biological Studies of a Cadmium(II) Complex with a Tridentate Ligand 4'-Chloro-2,2':6',2'-Terpyridine

摘要

A new Cd(II) complex with the ligand 4'-chloro-2,2'6',2"-terpyridine (Cltpy), [Cd(Cltpy)(I)_(2)], has been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, ~(1)H-NMR, ~(13)C-NMR, and IR spectroscopy and structurally analyzed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The single-crystal X-ray analyses show that the coordination number in complex is five with three terpyridine (Cltpy) N-donor atoms and two iodine atoms. The antibacterial activities of Cltpy and its Cd(II) complex are tested against different bacteria.
