Abstract
Three Cd( II) macroacyclic Schiff base complexes CdL(4)(NO(3))(2)
(4), CdL(5)( NO(3))(2) (5), CdL(6)( NO(3))(2) ( 6) were prepared
by template condensation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with N1-(
2-nitrobenzyl)-N1-( 2-aminoethyl) ethane-1,2-diamine ( L(1)), N1-(
2-nitrobenzyl)-N1-( 2-aminoethyl) propane-1,3-diamine ( L(2)) or N1-(
2-nitrobenzyl)-N1-( 3-aminopropyl) propane-1,3-diamine ( L(3)), in the
presence of cadmium metal ion, respectively. Three Cd( II) complexes
with L1, L2 and L3 were also synthesized. All complexes have been
studied with IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, DEPT, COSY, HMQC and
microanalysis. Two of these complexes, CdL(4)( NO(3))(2) ( 4) and
CdL(1)(NO(3))(2) ( 1) have been characterized through X-ray
crystallography. In complex 4, the Cd is in a six-coordinate environment
comprised of the ligand N(4)-donor set and two oxygen atoms of two
nitrate groups. In the polyamine complexes ( 1, 2 and 3) Cd and ligand
are in a ratio of 1:1. Supporting ab initio HF-MO calculations have been
undertaken using the standard 3-21G* and 6-31G* basis sets. (C) 2008
