Synthesis, Characterization, Crystal Structure and Thermal Analysis of a Copper(II) Mononuclear Compound with 2,6-Bis(3,5 (Bdmpp) and Selenocyanate as Ligands

Abstract

A single crystal of the copper(II) compound, [Cu(bdmpp)(SeCN)2], 2, was obtained and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex was characterized by elemental, thermal and FTIR analysis. The FTIR analysis of the complex clearly shows the SeCN peaks at 2096 and 2061 cm-1 which did not exist in the free organic ligand (bdmpp). X-ray analysis showed that 2 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c. Cu(II) has a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination involving three N atoms from the ligand and two N atoms from the selenocyanate group. © 2007 Taylor & Francis.
