Abstract

Two Cd(II) complexes [Cd2(L1)2(dca)(NO3)] (1) and [Cd2(L2)2(SCN)(NO3)] (2) (HL1 = 2-methoxy-6-[(2-phenylamino-ethylimino)-methyl]-phenol; and HL2 = 2-[(2-ethylamino-ethylimino)-methyl]-6-methoxy-phenol), have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal structure analysis, IR and mass spectroscopic studies. Both the complexes 1 and 2 possess a triclinic crystal system with space group P 1. In complex 1, geometry around one metal centre is distorted octahedral and other centre is distorted monocapped trigonal prism, whereas in complex 2, both the metal centres possess distorted octahedral geometries. Strong N-H & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;O and weak aromatic C-H & sdot;& sdot;center dot O hydrogen bonding interactions in 1 and strong N-H & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;O and N-H & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;S hydrogen bonding in 2 results 1D and 2D supramolecular structures, respectively. Experimentally determined electronic spectral data have been compared with the calculated data obtained by DFT and TD-DFT calculation. Photocatalytic abilities of 1 and 2 have been examined by using spectroscopic technique and found that in presence of UV light both the complexes catalytically decomposed methylene blue by 54.0 % and 50.3 %, respectively.
