Multinuclear Cd2, Cd3 and 1-D framework structures of Cd(II) Schiff base complexes†
Abstract
Reactions of the “salen” type Schiff basesH2L1 and H2L2 with Cd(OAc)2·2H2O gave complexes with Cd2 and Cd3 cores and an extended 1-D framework architecture [H2L1 = N,N′-(1,2-phenylenyl)-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldimine; H2L2 = N,N′-(propyl)-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldimine)].
