Synthesis and characterization of Cd complex with 1,4-bis([1,10] phenanthroline-[5,6-d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene

The metal complex of 1,4-bis([1,10] phenanthroline-[5,6-d] imidazol-2-yl)benzene (BPIB) with Cadmium(II) ion has been synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, UV-vis, elemental analysis, 1H-NMR also electrochemical behavior was studied by Cyclic Voltammetric method. The FT-IR results showed that the ligand is coordinated to metal center. Electronic spectra of this complex was recorded in DMSO solution (1×10-5 M). These spectra confirm the intraligand transition (???*), (n??*) bands in UV region. UV-vis spectrum of title complex doesnʹt show any d?d transition of central ion. Electrochemical data of this complex show quasi-reversible weaves attributed to redox BPIB ligand.
