Abstract

A new flexible tetradentate ligand 1,2-bis(3′-pyridylmethylamino)ethane (L) was synthesized and its coordination complexes with cadmium(II) and silver(I) salts were characterized by X-ray single crystal structure analysis. The structure of [Cd(L)](NO 3) 2·H 2O ( 1) is an infinite zigzag chain in which the Cd(II) atom is octahedrally coordinated with N 4O 2 donor set. The complex [Ag 3(L) 2](CF 3SO 3) 3 ( 2) has a different 1D chain structure, interestingly, containing two- and three-coordinated silver(I) atoms. The photofluorescence and electrospray mass spectrometry of complexes 1 and 2 were also investigated.
