cis-Diisothiocyanatobis(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II), [Cu(NCS)2(C12H8N2)2]

Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cadmium

“…Transition metal complexes based on thiocyanate anion have been widely studied due the coordination versatility of this ligand (Goher et al, 2000). Regarding to the title compound, it deserves to note that isostructural compounds of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been previously reported (Holleman et al, 1994;Gallois et al, 1990;Yin, 2007;Parker et al, 1996;Liu et al, 2005). However, to the best of our knowledge,the crystal structure described herein represents the first example of the Cd II analogue (I).…”

“…For the coordination versatility of the thiocyanate anion in transition metal complexes, see: Goher et al (2000). For isotypic Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) structures, see: Holleman et al (1994); Gallois et al (1990); Yin (2007); Parker et al (1996); Liu et al (2005). For another Cd II -phen complex with a CdN 6 coordination environment, see: He et al (2004).…”

cis-Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)bis(thiocyanato-κN)magnesium(II)

“…is reported to be one of the prototypical spin crossover compounds and its magnetic properties have been most investigated by various techniques (Baker & Bobonich, 1964;Gallois et al, 1990;Ganguli et al, 1981;Gütlich, 1981;König, 1968). Henceforth, isostructural compounds for Mn II (Holleman et al, 1994), Co II (Yin, 2007), Ni II (Freire et al, 2001), Cu II (Kabešová & Kožíšková, 1992;Parker et al, 1996) and Zn II (Liu et al, 2005) analogues have been prepared and their structures have been studied. However, as far as our knowledge goes, the crystal structure for Mg II analogue has not been reported so far.…”
