Structural studies on Cd(II) complexes incorporating di-2-pyridyl ligand and the X-ray crystal structure of the chloroform solvated DPMNPH/CdI2 complex

A series of novel Cd(II) complexes incorporating ligand, di(2-pyridinyl)methanone N-(2-pyridinyl)hydrazone (DPMNPH), has been investigated. Single crystal X-ray diffraction measurement studies show that complexes have a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Furthermore, intramolecular hydrogen bonding NH⋯NPy is also observed in ligand and complexes.
