Abstract
Abstract A new Cd(II) complex, obtained by the interaction of 2,2-dimethyl-N,N'-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)propane-1,3-diamine with a Cd(II) ion, is reported. The prepared N4 mononuclear species is structurally characterized by microanalyses, FT-IR, ESI-MS, 1H, 13C- and Dept-135 NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. The electrochemical behavior of the complex is also reported, and exhibits irreversible one electron redox process. Furthermore, the synthesized Cd(II) complex showed significant fluorescence property, and worked as a strong photocatalyst to degrade the Alizarin Red S dye (ARS) under visible light irradiation. The results obtained are excellent showing 82% (approximately) degradation of ARS dye in 30 h.
