Abstract

Mixed ligand, iso-structural zinc(II), [Zn(L1)2(L2)2] 1 and cadmium(II), [Cd(L1)2(L2)2] 2, (L1 = CCl3COO, L2 = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen)), trichloroacetate complexes have been prepared and characterized by elemental, spectroscopic (ir, nmr), thermogravimetry, molar conductivity, and X-ray studies in 2. The trichloroacetate acts as a monodentate and tmen ligand L2 functions as a bidentate ligand in both the complexes. The crystal structure of 2 is of monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 8.3302(19) Ǻ, b = 17.756(4) Ǻ, c = 18.619(4) Ǻ, β = 100.393(3)°, and V = 2708.8(10) Ǻ3, Z = 4. The geometry around the metal is distorted octahedral.
