Abstract

Five Cd(II) complexes, {[Cd 4(MTZ) 2(H 2O) 2Cl 8]·0.5H 2O} n ( 1), [Cd(MTZ) 2Br 2] ( 2), [Cd 2(MTZ) 2I 4] ( 3), [Cd 2(MTZ) 2(H 2O) 8] (SO 4) 2 ( 4), {[Cd(MTZ) 2(H 2O) 2](ClO 4) 2} n ( 5), based on different anions with the mercaptotetrazole ligand MTZ (MTZ = 1-(2-dimethylamino-ethyl)-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole) have been synthesized. Employment of different anions can result in structural diversity in 1– 5. In 1, the Cd(II) ions make use of μ 2-Cl, μ 3-Cl bridging each other to form a novel Cd 4Cl 8 inorganic network structure. On the other hand, the 2D structure is further stabilized by MTZ as a tridentate bridging organic ligand holding three adjacent Cd(II) ions. In 2, MTZ as a terminal ligand coordinates with a Cd(II) ion to form a mononuclear structure. As a μ 2, η 2 bridging ligand, MTZ links Cd(II) ions to form a dimeric structures in 3 and 4, and a 1D infinite chain in 5. In addition, the luminescent properties of 1– 5 have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature.
