Synthesis, characterization and structures of binuclear copper(II) and polynuclear cobalt(II), nickel(II) and cadmium(II) complexes involving N4-donor pyrazolyl based ligand and dicyanamide as bridging ligand

Synthesis, structural characterization, antibacterial activity, DFT computational studies and thermal analysis of two new thiocyanate compounds based on 1-phenylpiperazine

“…As it is ambidentate, the thiocyanate anion is an appropriate candidate for developing building blocks assembling coordination chemistry, leading to the formation of complexes with multidimensionality and diversified structures [20][21][22]. In fact, the thiocyanate anion is a bidentate ligand, which has numerous terminals and bridging coordination modes with two donor atoms either by sulfur or by nitrogen [23]. Thus, the flexible coordination features of these anions could stabilize the intermediate states of the transition metal centers inducing varied crystal structures.…”
