Abstract

The pyrazole based ligands (E)-2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-N′-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene acetohydrazide (N-PzOPyH) and (E)-5-methyl-N′-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbo hydrazide (PzOPyH), a 1:1 condensation product of 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)aceto hydrazide and 5-methylpyrazole-3-carbohydrazide with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde respectively, and their keto oxygen bridged Cd(II) complexes [Cd2(N-PzOPy)2(H2O)4](ClO4)4(1), [Cd2(PzOPy)2(H2O)4](ClO4)4(2) and [Cd2(PzOPy)2(NO3)4] (3)] are reported. They have been characterized structurally and spectroscopically. The potential tetradentate NONN-donor ligands N-PzOPyH and PzOPyH are engaged in the coordination around the cadmium(II) center through the nitrogen atoms of pyrazole, azomethine and pyridine and the ketonic oxygen atom of the carbohydrazide group to form complexes 1, 2 and 3, respectively. These ligands span themselves in the equatorial plane and the pentagonal bipyramidal geometry is completed around the metal centres (with an N3O4chromophore) with two apical water molecules (for 1 and 2) and with two nitrate ions (for 3). These keto bridged Cd(II) complexes are further stabilised by supramolecular interactions, like π« π, C-H» π and H-bonding interactions.
