Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure of a novel acetato-bridged trinuclear cadmium(II) complex with 4-Nitro-2-[(2- isopropylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol

摘要

A novel acetato-bridged centrosymmetric trinuclear Schiff base cadmium(II) complex, [Cd{CdL(μ_2 - O, O'-CH_3COO)(μ_3- O, O, O'-CH_3COO)}_2], where L is the deprotonated form of 4-nitro-2-[(2-isopropylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The acetate groups bridge adjacent Cd atoms through both μ_2 - O, O'-acetato and μ_3 - O, O, O'-acetato bridging modes. The Cd atoms adopt octahedral coordinations. The Cd ?Cd distance is 3.434(2) ?.
