Synthesis, spectroscopic, thermal, crystal structure properties, and characterization of new Hofmann-Td-type complexes with 3-aminopyridine

In this study, synthesis of two new tetracyanocadmate(II) and tetracyanozincate(II) complexes based on 3-aminopyridine (3AP) and investigation of their structural properties were reported. These complexes were characterized by using vibration spectroscopy, elemental, thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) techniques. Investigation of the elemental, spectral and single crystal data of these complexes showed that the formulas [Cd(3AP)2Zn(μ4 -CN)4]n(1) and [Cd(3AP)2Cd(μ4-CN)4]n(2) fully explained their crystal structure.
