Abstract
A one-dimensional polynuclear end-on azide bridged octahedral cadmium(II) Schiff base complex, [{CdL(μ-1,1-N3)}2Cd(μ-1,1-N3)2·1.76CH3OH]n {HL=2-(3-(dimethylamino)propyliminomethyl)-6-ethoxyphenol} has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2/c with cell dimensions, a=21.4706(8) Å, b=9.9542(4) Å, c=19.3257(7) Å, β=103.7819(11)°. Extended supra-molecular assemblies were generated through weak non-covalent interactions. The energetic features of these interactions have also been studied by means of DFT calculations. The complex exhibits good photoluminescence in DMSO medium. The application of the complex as a photocatalyst for the decomposition of organic dye in visible light has been explored.
