Synthesis, Characterization, Crystal Structure, and Biological Studies of a Cadmium(II)‎ Complex with a Tridentate Ligand 4′-Chloro-2,2′ : 6′,2′′-Terpyridine

الملخص EN

A new Cd(II) complex with the ligand 4′-chloro-2,2′6′,2′′-terpyridine (Cltpy), [Cd(Cltpy)(I)2], has been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and IR spectroscopy and structurally analyzed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.

The single-crystal X-ray analyses show that the coordination number in complex is five with three terpyridine (Cltpy) N-donor atoms and two iodine atoms.

The antibacterial activities of Cltpy and its Cd(II) complex are tested against different bacteria.
