Abstract
The ligand 6-methoxy-N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazin-3-amine (L) has been prepared by nucleophilic substitution from 3-chloro-6-dipicolylamino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (1). The ligand L, together with two neutral zinc(II) and cadmium(II) metal complexes, respectively formulated as [ZnLCl2] (2) and [CdLCl2]2 (3), have been crystallized and analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The two metal complexes are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c. The structure analysis indicates that the amino nitrogen atom is involved in semi-coordination with the metal centers, thus leading to distorted coordination geometries. Photophysical studies of the ligand and its corresponding metal complexes 2 and 3 show a switch-on of the luminescence upon chelation with the diamagnetic Zn(II) and Cd(II) metal ions.
