Abstract

A dinuclear centrosymmetric cadmium(II) Schiff base complex, [Cd2(L)2(μ-1,3-SCN)2(CH3OH)2], {HL=2-(3-(methylamino)propyliminomethyl)-4,6-dichlorophenol} has been synthesized and characterized. X-ray crystallography has confirmed its structure. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2/c with cell dimensions, a=26.161(1)Å, b=8.9412(3)Å, c=18.9687(8)Å, β=129.202(1)°. Extended supra-molecular assemblies were generated through weak non-covalent interactions. The application of the complex as a photocatalyst for the decomposition of organic dye in visible light has been explored.
