Preferred Abstract (Original):
A series of novel Cd(II) complexes incorporating ligand, di(2-pyridinyl)methanone N-(2-
pyridinyl)hydrazone (DPMNPH), has been investigated. The ligand, DPMNPH, and its
corresponding complexes have been characterized with the help of number of techniques:
microanalysis, FT-IR, 1H-and 13C-NMR, UV/Vis spectroscopy, thermal studies and MSFAB
mass spectrometry. In addition, single crystal X-ray diffrction measurement studies
are also employed in one of the complexes showing a distorted trigonal bipyramidal
geometry. Furthermore, the existence of NH....Npy intramolecular hydrogen bonding
interactions in the ligand and its corresponding complexes have also been reported.
