Abstract

Two new complexes, namely, [Cd2(L1)2(NCS)4(DMF)2] · 4H2O (I) and {[Zn3(L2)4(SO4)3(H2O)8] · 3DMF · 6H2O}n (II) have been synthesized through self-assembly of Cd(II) or Zn(II) salts with ferrocenyl ligands bearing pyrazolyl pyridine substituents. The two compounds were characterized by IR spectra, element analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (СIF files CCDC nos. 949526 (I), 949527 (II)), and thermogravimetric analysis. Complex I crystallizes in the monocline space group P21/c and exhibits a discrete dinuclear structure. The adjacent dinuclear molecules are packed into a 1D linear chain through the hydrogen-bond interactions. Complex II is a neutral one-dimensional infinite zigzag coordination chain. The 3D packing diagram of II contains two types of voids and the solvated DMF and water molecules filled them and stabilized by the hydrogen bonds. In addition, the redox properties of both complexes I and II have also been investigated.
