The importance of tetrel bonding interactions with carbon in two arrestive iso-structural Cd(ii)-Salen coordination complexes: a comprehensive DFT overview in crystal engineering.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this article, we describe the serendipitous synthesis of two remarkable iso-structural Cd(ii)-Salen complexes [L2Cd4(OAc)2(NCS)2] in the presence of H2L and NaSCN {where L = L1 (N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-diaminopropane) and L = L2 (N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-ethylenediamine) in 1 and 2, respectively}. The complexes were characterized by using elemental analysis, SEM-EDX, PXRD, spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray crystal structure revealed that both complexes crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn, with unit cell parameters: a = 20.758(6), b = 11.022(3), c = 21.396(6) Å, V = 4895(2) Å3, and Z
