Abstract
Three d10 metal complexes, ZnL(OAc)2 (1), CdL(OAc)2 (2) and [CdL2(NO3)2]·CH3CN (3) were synthesized using the ligand (E)-N-(3-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)-1-(quinolin-2-yl)methanimine (L) and characterized by FT-IR spectra, NMR spectra, and CHN elemental analysis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural, with the central metal adopting a hexacoordinate octahedral geometry, while complex 3 adopts a triangular dodecahedron geometry. Thermal gravimetric analysis showed that these complexes exhibit good thermal stability. Solid-state fluorescence spectroscopy measurements demonstrated that complexes 1-3 exhibit bright yellow-green fluorescence (λem = 564 nm for 1; 524 nm for 2; 542 nm for 3), suggesting their potential as photoluminescent materials. Furthermore, DFT calculations, including frontier molecular orbitals, energy levels, and surface electrostatic potential, provided insights into the structural and electronic spectral properties of complexes 1-3.
