Feasible synthesis of Cd(II) and Ag(I) complexes with novel secondary carbinol form of di-3-pyridinylmethanone through one-pot insitu method

• A novel secondary carbinol form of di-3-pyridylmethanone was observed.
• The metal complexes of the secondary carbinol form were characterized.
• New one-pot insitu method to synthesize complex of DPK family was reported.

Cadmium(II) trifluoroacetate and silver(I) pentafluoropropionate complexes with the secondary carbinol form of di-3-pyridylmethanone were successfully produced through one-pot insitu method in the presence of aluminum powder and potassium fluoride under mixed-solvent thermal condition. Such one-pot insitu method is the first example to synthesize a metal complex with a secondary carbinol form of di-pyridyl ketone family.

Two new metal complexes with a novel secondary carbinol form of di-3-pyridylmethanone were successfully obtained through one-pot insitu method under solvent-thermal condition.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
