Synthesis and Characterization of New Metal–Organic Frameworks Based on Tetracyanoplatinate(II) and N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine: Single Crystal Structures of ZnII and CdII Complexes Along with Magnetic Properties of NiII and CuII Complexes

Characterization and synthesis of novel cyano bridged coordination compounds [Ni(bishydeten)Pt(CN)4] (1), [Cu(bishydeten)Pt(CN)4] (2), [Zn(bishydeten)Pt(CN)4] (3), [Cd(bishydeten)Pt(CN)4] (4) [bishydeten = N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine (C6H16N2O2)] were reported herein. The IR spectra of these coordination compounds verified the formation of aforementioned complexes. The ground state of the paramagnetic electron in the CuII located in tetragonal distorted octahedral sites (D4h) was found to be dx2−y2 for complex 2. As for complex 1, an EPR signal was not observed because of diamagnetic property of the PtII and momentary relaxation times of the NiII. All complexes followed identical decomposition mechanism in thermal analysis and thermal stabilities of complexes changed in the order of 1 > 4 > 3 > 2. Both 3 and 4 exhibit polymeric structure according to X-ray single structure analysis. While bishydeten coordinated with three donor atoms (N,N′, and O) in complex 3, it acts as a bidentate ligand (N, and N′) in complex 4. Magnetic properties of complexes 1–2 at 15–300 K temperature range were determined as antiferromagnetic with Weiss constants = −2.619 and −0.847 K respectively.
